Having read some of the replies here I decided to delete most of the videos on the channel (it will take a while).
Wouldn't it be easier to just contact the artists? I think a good deal of musicians would be fine with their music being posted and it would save you time and effort.

i know what happened & its irrelevant "how much" they used. unless you hate also all artists who used the amen break in their songs? no, you dont, because soul music isnt Your Scene.
likewise you dont hate all people who uploads songs to youtube. only when its Your Songs. and maybe you even think copyright law is really cool, until nintendo tries to get Your Flash Carts banned in the EU, until the guy who made the miles davis comp gets sued by miles davis' photographer
im just t rying to highlight the victim complex that chip music has. isnt it a little naive to suppose that "we" are all on the right side of the law all the time & that it only serves to protect us from the CRIMINALS intent on destroying our scene & PARASITES who exist only to profit from our hard work?
what is the reasoning here? you want a monopoly on distribution of your own music? people can only get it DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE? why? what benefit is there to have things taken off youtube
theres an album on temp sounds solutions bandcamp called "remixes volume 12". is there not some contradiction to make twelve albums of bootleg remixes and then cry wolf when someone puts your freely released music on youtube?
I don't have any problem with people uploading or remixing my own music, I personally think that stuff is cool.
What I don't like is that we're moving towards a culture that seems to feel entitled to all the rights of a piece of music. TSS did not release under CC and he has every right to choose to do so.
People shouldn't get mad that he has chosen to manage his music right and his youtube presence himself.
As for "sampling" culture, I think there is a big difference in how much of the original is used and the context. If you compare "Amen, Brother" to any given jungle song there's not a lot of creative cross-over. You can't easily argue that Gregory Coleman's original authorship or intent is being ripped off.
Some of Crystal Castle's samples in the controversy were total rip-offs (Insecticon vs Lo-bat) while the Covox sample is admittedly more grey. Unlike the Amen Break, the beat from Covox is mostly unaltered and is used in a similar work.
You claim that I have some sort of victim complex here? I argue the opposite. Soon after I started making music, I stopped nearly all my pirating. Software, music, what-have-you. Unless it's totally impossible to acquire otherwise, I pay for the IP that I use. So do I support people who illegally upload music to youtube? No, why would I?
I very much believe in the copyleft, I very much believe in the new paradigm of the digital market, but I don't believe in forcing it on those who do not wish to conform. That's just shitty.
TL;DR: I believe that people aught to respect an author's rights to their own content. Sure, copyleft works for me and I'll always throw up torrents and share and modify my music around as much as possible (see my last release, "Do Copy This Floppy") but why force your beliefs on someone and tread on their rights in doing so?
like the snare drum crystal castles sampled from covox then
If Cyrstal Castles had sampled just a snare drum and then sequenced their own drum patterns, yeah that would totally have been fine. That's not what happened, though. Maybe do the research before you get all snarky about it. 
Regardless of the legality, it's just a dick move not to even try to contact the musicians for permission. Heck, even they had a license that specifically encourages doing so, I'd ask first anyway. It's just common courtesy.
That said, sync licensing has LONG been separate from any other forms of licensing so even the argument that any copyleft license aught to grant sync rights - if not in a true legal sense, at least just in terms of common practice - I don't think I agree.
I think that in general, a copyleft license can be thought of as a notice of legality and intent. It states, "Hey, you can't do this and this but you can do all these things if you want to." but it's common courtesy for those who actually take advantage of the license to contact the original author (at the very least, it covers your ass in case you misunderstood the license as was the case here).
The way that SID2SID works is that the data sent to the specific SID registers is simply echoed (sent with minor delay) to the second one. There is no extra address range to add a second SID for 'full independent' control. I believe that a SID2SID is somewhat of a waste in that there are other tools capable of making mono into stereo. In a sense, all softwares work with it.
The 8bitventures description doesn't make it sound that way:
A second SID (C64 audio circuit) gives you 6 voice polyphony/6 tracks when using the MSSIAH Sequencer and Drummer applications.
With the MSSIAH Wave-Player you can assign an extra output for your samples to the second SID. MSSIAH Mono Synthesizer and Bassline echoes all audio to the second SID for stereo output.
Are they just full of shit?
EDIT:
Looks like $DE00 is the starting address to use for SID2SID SID 2. Which is different from $D400, which is where the regular SID starts. So you can certainly address both chips seperately.
As proof, here's a video of a guy/gal showing 6 channels of SID using sid2sid: https://vimeo.com/3341109
Dubstep? Anamaguchi-style? What is it? Define the genre!
looks nice, how do I build it on linux?

Of all the trackers I've used with MIDI, Renoise seems to do the best at importing MIDI. However, I'm sure there are lots of other good options.
Needs to be about 35.763% slower, according to national standards.
Seriously, I don't want to be a meanie here but why the hell would we know how slow the song aught to be? You wrote it, you get to choose how slow or fast it is. Does it sound good to you? If so, stick with it. Don't pander to others.
Some songs from Toy Company Montreal!
Given how easy it is to upgrade or downgrade, I see no reason not to stick with the latest version unless there's a feature (bug) from a previous version that you rely heavily on.
That said, don't switch immediately before a performance or anything. Make sure you listen thoroughly to all of your music using the new version to ensure it sounds right.
Sounds more to me like you have corrosion on the battery terminals, any type of AA battery will work with a Game Boy assuming that they are holding a charge and making proper contact with the terminals.
Toy Company.
(Just look at their last magical release: http://toycompany.bandcamp.com/)
µjazz as your username.
Awesome, great to see some tutorials like this!
I've been making music in trackers since I was about 14 or 15, I've never had any major data loss. My secret? Treat your gear well and back shit up often.
