I recently got a copyright strike form YouTube, my first one and hopefully my last one.
The reason was I uploaded a music video from an artist from another country and as the song was old it was featuring a band that had broken up, plus the video was openly available in a website called JpopSuki TV.
Well here is some advice on copyright strikes.
Q. How long does my copyright strike last for? A: A copyright strike lasts for 6 months of which will be taken away unless you get another copyright strike in the duration of the six months.
Q. Does this effect my monetization? A: No it will not, however, having a good standing reputation for your account means a lot, many YouTube partnership sponsors and backers will not associate themselves with an account with even 1 copyright strike and your ability to post longer videos is effected for the duration of the 6 months too as well as using external annotations, paid subscriptions, content ID appeals and live events.
Q. What can I do to prevent copyright infringement claims? A: Try to make use of original copyright free music in your videos if you are going to use music in your videos, YouTube has its own audio library:
Try to feature original content more, check any copyright backgrounds of movies and music, even if they are foreign, companies and distribution are global so many more famous artists in another country can and do track down use of their material around the globe.
