Their Songs Were Stolen by Phantom Artists. They Couldn’t Get Them Back.
Bad Dog, a group from D.C., was forced to take a crash course in streaming fraud, a shadowy realm that costs musicians $2 billion a year.

Bad Dog seems to have a YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@BadDogDC but they aren't off to a good start. All the songs they uploaded are marked as YouTube Kids which means you can't even playlist them.
You can if you add to playlist from the search screen.
I keep expecting them to break that workaround, but it keeps working for me
I've also found you can go through your history and add videos marked as Kids that way.
The craziest part is they happen to both be copyright lawyers and they still couldn't fix it
These companies are just miserable to talk to, trying to stay out of the legal handling themselves by being mum, passing along the reports.
This sucks
😨🤯 that's seriously fucked up
