Hello YTTalkers,
I am here to ask any of you who may know. I am sure a lot of you have seen those minecraft parodies on youtube. Generally the youtuber takes a popular song, changes the lyrics to be minecraft specific, and make a cool animation for it. I was wondering if any of you know what the process is to not be copyrighted for that. Here is what I've noticed:
1. Change up the song a little. Sometimes the song is the same eat and tone but piano instead of guitar, or something along those lines, just so it sounds slightly different.
2. The lyrics: I know that changing a certain percentage of the lyrics helps, or atleast that is what I've heard.
3. Giving credit. All of the titles say "parody of ___" And give the song and artist, and in most of the descriptions there is a small comment that it is not their original song, credit to ___ whoever the artist may be.
This is just what I have seen on the videos, if you guys have any information that would be super helpful!
Thank you everybody!
