Survivor’s Log: The Metal Lathe Incident

Category: Survivor’s Log
Status: Dispute Filed
Platform: YouTube


During the recording of Stranded – Log 5, I was walking along my bridge. It was the safest stretch of the session. No mobs. No combat. Just water below, torches behind me, and the usual Minecraft ambience carrying across the air.

Nothing about it felt risky. If anything, it was the reset point between decisions. A controlled crossing. A routine movement between base and mine.

Later, while preparing the upload, I was informed that the audio from that exact moment did not belong to Minecraft at all. According to YouTube’s system, I had recorded the sound of a Russian industrial machine demonstration titled “Universal metal lathe screw-cutting machine METAL MASTER X3270 (220V).”

Of all the segments in the episode, it was the quiet bridge crossing that triggered the claim.

The video remained standing. No strike. No removal. Just an automated assertion that my safest in-game location closely resembles heavy workshop equipment.

I reviewed the footage carefully. Standard Minecraft music. No additions. No alterations. Nothing external.

The dispute was filed under licence. Calmly. Procedurally.

Now we wait.

The mine has its own hazards. Apparently, so does the bridge.
