I apologize if this particular subject has been touched upon in spades, but quite recently, I made a comic convention video and used a song that "Youtube Policies" didn't have any restrictions on. I researched songs for the video ahead of time just to confirm which songs were allowable, so I picked "Walk this way" By Aerosmith feat. Run DMC. It gave me this message:
If you use this song
Playback Viewable worldwide
Advertising Ads can appear
If you perform a cover
Playback Viewable worldwide
Advertising Ads can appear
After a week of editing, touching-up and re-touching, adding graphics etc., I published the video only to have it muted within less than 10 minutes with the Youtube Copyright claim notification. I went back to the Policies page, which says that the song is STILL allowable.
I spent a great deal of time researching music to make sure that the song I chose would be allowable. When the song can't be used on the Policies page, you get this notice:
This song is not available for use in your YouTube videos. If you use this song, your video may be blocked or muted.
I took great care to avoid anything with the above message, but still, my video was muted. Does anyone know what the deal is here?
