At the desk

• About a year and a half ago, Rick Beato hired Devin Stone, LegalEagle, to fight his Content ID claims. According to Stone, 240 videos "were making no money whatsoever". None are claimed now, which Stone says is a first for the channel.
• Stone is opening the service to other creators as Claim Fighter, which he says "we built it basically for you". Rick Beato was the beato-tester.
• Beato also launched "We'll Do It Live", in which bands play in his studio with no overdubs or fixes. His complaint about modern music now has its own series.
