    The number of times it’s handed me a copyright strike for recording tunes that are >400 yrs old is simply tiring. Used to be infuriating, but now I’m just tired lol

      So the composition and the performance are two separate things. Sure the music was written and composed a long time ago and if you were to play your own version that would be fine. But the recording you have is not that old and has it’s own copyright attached because they have transformed the public domain composition into their own performance.
