copyright

This website dubset.com just struck a deal with Apple Music. It will let non licensed remixes be available on Apple Music. I read about it. Dubset uses an algorithm to detect sounds in a remix and pays the artists labels and publishers. Sounds lots like YouTube. Copyright owners can block...

Well I am only wondering because this happened to my videos. I have heard other people who have had their videos directly stolen and someone just put it into a compilation video and then that's apparently covered by "fair use" etc. I find that personally bad since it makes it so that people...

Basically I have 2 videos that some user from Russia I found has cut out the first 20 seconds but uploaded the rest and he is even putting ads on it. I only found this because I know some people steal other's videos. So I deliberately searched for my own and saw if anyone has stolen it yet...

Do you guys monetize every single video you upload... I have a few comedy sketches that I did but have not uploaded yet because sometimes the free music just don't cut it.....I will have a song in mind and think to myself.. that would be the perfect theme to a sketch.. but you know copyrights =(...

So I got a copyright strike, not on this channel but on my second channel. I post one hour loops of songs and lyrics videos. So before I upload any videos containing songs I would check "Music Policies" to see if I could use that particular song. So I have over 40 videos with no problems and I...

What should I do?

There is a major flagging war going on and yet I feel most YouTubers don't even know. YouTubers many times focus only on their channels. It's only when YOUR channel gets flagged down you start complaining. Don't wait for it! This is a problem for ALL of us! We need to stand together and fight...

Before I start, I apologise for any mistakes in here as I am not very knowing on the topic of copyright, but I think I have the basics down. So, I use a bunch of songs that require me, as part of the C.C license, to put in a bunch of text to credit for each song I use, to be able to use it...

Hey guys, So I'm sure you guys have heard about the #WTFU going about recently. How big channels are getting their content taken down despite them being within fair use. The #WTFU from Channel Awesome sums it up pretty nicely. The best thing all of us can do is make sure all of our videos are...

Let's say I wanted to make an animated adaptation of a retro video game and upload it to YouTube. Now, adaptation is a very broad term, so here are the specifications: this would be an animation, created mostly using the game's sprites, backgrounds and other graphics. As the name suggests, this...

I recently made a Youtube video regarding SofloAntonio. It blew up on Reddit and received over 1000 upvotes. About an hour ago someone let me know that a Facebook page with over 177,000 likes freebooted the video I made. It was a short (5 seconds long) video and I didn't create any of the...

Hello, A week ago i got a message in my inbox. My video was claimed by a music network called Vydia. So when i was reading the message i was like laughing it was just stupid. My two year old video got striked. But the network has no prove of it that its their music. There was not even a link to...

hey! I've been in your shoes and wanted to know what kind of music to use and not get copyrighted. there is a YouTube channel called NCS(no copyright sound) they have really good music. most of the times people use their music for gaming. you can also use YouTube's free royalty music. i hoped i...

From what I've researched it seems that covering songs on YouTube really varies depending on the copyright holders. I would be using the audio from songs with the vocals taken out and I would sing the vocals, or for some songs I would play an instrument and sing the vocals. I just wanted to...

Hey, guys, I have a gaming channel, and I wanted to do a comparison between the first in a series (Dishonored) and its sequel (Dishonored 2). I think using the trailer of the second game, Dishonored 2, in my video would fall under the Fair Use policy because it makes sense that I need it to make...

Hi, my name is SYKODRUMMER and I make drum covers of famous songs. Before I put my channel back up, this channel was deleted out of anger because of this story: One day I decided to make a drum cover of adventure of a lifetime by coldplay. A few hours after the video was put up the audio was...

I have just started a series of videos where I review the most popular YouTube channels by watching their last 3 videos and then make a decision whether I will subscribe or not. I use clips of the videos, without the sound, and I give my audio review over the top. I believed this was covered...
