WAAZAAAP everyone!

I applied to RPM network because everyone said they are easy too get into and good for a starter network. When I applied through their website they clearly said I meet the entry requirements and so I filled out all the necessary information and finished the application and I even signed the contract.

After a few days they sent two emails to me, one saying due to low views another saying I have copyright material on my videos:

Low views - I have had this channel for 3 weeks and I've got over 30 videos and over 2000 total views. I have heard people got accepted with much lower viewer-ship, so this I don't understand.

Copyright material - I haven't any copyright material on my videos, all of it is my original content. Logos, intros etc. I made it all myself. BTW I make gaming videos, and I haven't done commentaries for any video, can this be it then?

Thank you.

Gaming video content is technically copyrighted material.

Anyhow, you're supposed to have commentary over it if you use gaming video footage.
 
Thanks for the quick reply, so is it compulsory to have commentary? Because YTers like ONLYUSEmeBLADE does not always to commentary.

If so, then would I have to delete all my videos and add commentary and then reupload them? Or only some?

Thanks again.

It's depends on the Game Developer's video policy, Like Mojang stated Minecraft Videos can be put on YouTube and monetized, regardless commentary. Also I suggest you wait, getting Partnership with that amount of views and views per video/day isn't useful.
 
So would you recommend me deleting all my videos and start from square one? Or the new videos I post include commentary. Also thanks.

There is no need to rush partnership(especially with this affiliate and managed partner nonsense). Just work harder to get your channel larger and apply for Curse or something for better partnership. And why want you delete your video's? I have more than 900 commentary free video's and still got partnership.
 
Thanks man, I'll take your advice. It's just that I'm unemployed and I've left full time education, so all I have is time.
 
Hey ConicalCandy, As stated above you have to have commentary. Here is why; and its a gray area. If you post just video withot commentary you are basically claiming the work shown is by you is your own. Even though you are moving the character around the screen, nothing shown is yours. Now how this affects the term Fair Use is with fair use, your commentary is your work. You providing tips tricks, exploits whatever means it is an instructional video which allows for footage of the game. The reason other YouTubers get away with it is because they have an established tome of work that can be said to be fair use. When they put out the occasional playthrough with no commentary most just ignore it.

Good luck!
 
Well explained, that's all I wanted to know, thanks. Now I understand. So do you recommend me downloading all my videos and reupload them with commentary or just starting from my next upload adding commentary?[DOUBLEPOST=1392241908,1392241457][/DOUBLEPOST]I just got accepted by AwesomenessTV, what shall I do?
