Hey guys, I have been running small (3.5k subs) youtube channel for 6 months now, by basically taking existing footage I have found on youtube, and cutting it up and putting music behind it
I know this is slightly naughty I always list sources etc (I know that makes no difference) and I would obviously remove a video straight away if I got a request
Most of my videos are copyright claimed by the artist of the music, (they have started putting ads on my more successful videos)
I now have started paying a small lisence fee (5 pounds a month) to one of the record lables involved, to green light my channel to monitrisation using their tracks, But the visuals are all obviously "Stolen" from somewhere or other, although all have passed the oriignal checks the youtube software does when you make a video public
Do I risk my channel being blocked or removed if I click the "Monitrise" button for the first time (NOT monitrising a video yet, just clicking the start of the monitrising process) or do I just keep it all demonitrised for ever do you think?[DOUBLEPOST=1542216343,1542216297][/DOUBLEPOST]I Would also LOVE to talk to an experienced youtuber via PM or something, if someone could I would realllly appreciate it as I feel lost and confused about a lot of things lol thank you for reading guys
