What does the YouTube Law say about Covers?

[TA5]

So heres the deal

I am thinking about doing covers of famous songs!
Now the question is, just like there are long rules for gameplay monetization....

There should be long rules for Covers too, right?

Apparently I cant find anything on Google that tells me what the rules for Covers are......most of the articles are 3-4 years old

I think you need a Mechanical, and Sync License to put a cover on YouTube??
I recently heard that YouTube now provides blanket license for songs (so u dont have to pay for licenses??)...............and then you can share revenue with the owner?


Right now, i think the process to put covers on YouTube is (correct me if i am wrong)

1-Record cover
2-Put it on YouTube (With Karaoke Music??)
3-Wait for Content ID claim, then choose the option to share revenue......If there is none, then remove the video?
4-Wait for Review?
5-Share revenue??

I havent created the Cover channel yet, but i will , if it seems feasible , inexpensive and non-dangerous(copyright strike)



So HELP ME,,,......My dear FRIENDS!

You don't even need to share your revenue if you remix the music samples you know, remix's are all done under Creative Commons I believe! Lots of big youtubers use real music in their videos by just using a remixed sample of it!

So my process is correct?
I dont want to get a copyright strike.............
So i can use Karaoke Music by changing its pitch ,amplitude etc??? Normally i see people in covers normally sing with their own guitars and such................why dont they use guitars?

I need first hand Experience
Do i need to join Fullscreen to be Copyright free?

This is the correct process; you don't have to remove the cover though, it's just going to be claimed by the label in most cases. Only a few select Record Labels are opting in their artist's songs into YouTube's cover revenue scheme. More info here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3301938

you don't have to remove the cover though,.

But that would be risking a copyright strike, wouldnt it? :/
Lets suppose i get big, i wouldnt be able to afford a copyright strike then ,right?

Only a few select Record Labels are opting in their artist's songs into YouTube's cover revenue scheme:

How can i find out which ones? This feature seems to be new, theres not much about it on Google :/
There are gonna be, Katy Perry, Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna songs right?


I really wouldnt want to join FAM FULSCREEN to start my cover channel
They take like, 20 percent of your revenue...........................................


Another Important thing...............How much % of my revenue do you think, will YouTube give to the artist?
If its like more than 20 %, i would rather join FULLSCREEN than this........
FULLSCREEN gives the licenses for free right? Or does it take seperate revenue to the artist too?

Whats your say about all this?

you can not create remixes on YouTube. The YouTube license agreement signed with the NMPA does not allow remixes or any derivative works.
