List of Monetizable Covers

[TheSwedishTraveler]

Have monetized some covers, but they are low quality, and barely watchable!

The list is to tell you what sound recordings will be available at the moment you upload your video.

Yeah it's a pretty redundant list because nearly all the time you use copyrighted music it will slam you with a content ID claim lol My experience with the list so far has been "don't use this, don't use that" anyways.

the information tells you that list will give you a content ID claim that's the point. They've allowed you to use the song as long as you accept the claim and don't monetize.

As for me, I would make a second channel for test my videos there before uploading it to the main one, just a track with picture in it, to understand whether it will be matched or not.

That's not really a good idea. if you get 3 strikes all your channels will be deleted by your IP address. It also took two years for Sony to detect one of the covers I uploaded. So you could test it now and get detected later.

Matched video does not mean a strike you can delete the cover, and there is no risk to your account if you despute to it and you dont have the rights then you are in danger

 

[offbeatbryce]

but the whole point of monetizing cover songs is you have to get a match. It says that in the Google explanation of YouTube Help

 

[Nikola Tefov]

You Can get mechanical rights and synchronization license for it, you can contact the owner of the song or get it thru songclearance(.)com

 

[offbeatbryce]

song clearance does not cover YouTube. It's in their FAQS. You don't need a license if you want to share in revenue with YouTube Cover songs. You really need to start reading YouTube's Help section.

 

[Nikola Tefov]

You can monetize it if you get the two licences, the one from song clearance for distribution and live performance, and synchronization license or Profit share agreement can legally monetize your cover on youtube. You should too to start searching and learning about music monetization, u don't have to tell me what to read .
