12:45 You can also erase songs, which keep all other sounds. This is the downside of recording videos weeks in advance. It's a newer beta feature which work quite well.

It's frustrating to me when I compose a track from scratch and then I get a claim a week later. 70% of the time are fake claims, 30% similar melodies / soundfonts.

Why is it that a company can strike your channel without any proof? Not claim, but strike. My content is original, fair use, but does use video game assets. I have hundreds of videos like this, but one day....a video game company just decided to strike my videos. No warning, no request for removal....just Strikes.

We emailed back and forth and they ended up removing the strikes. But they had zero grounds for the strikes in the first place. YT did nothing to stop them

Some scammer makes a BS copyright claim by downloading from the YouTube audio library the same track as you and adds their bit like singing, rapping etc. You use that same music from the library and they know it is free, but YouTube's copyright matching system says you used their content - they know you did NOT infringe on them in any way, but they STILL claim against you to fraudulently receive any potential income from your hard work and YouTube refers to them as the copyright owner - really boils my you know what.

Every young youtuber watching this will grow 2024🫡🥰

This is the best explanation I've seen yet about YouTube's copyright policy, including videos YouTube itself has made about it. I do wish there were a more fair and clear system in place for creators, but it has gotten slightly better over the years.

There’s an easy solution. Don’t add music. How much music did you hear on this video? Did you still stay and watch? There you go 😊

[IanHsieh]

I want to know more about the fraudulent copyright claim and strike. Some company just claim everything even when them obviously doesn't own it.

well said: "it´s not perfect at all" ... From the view of a content creator: I fully produce my own material (reviews, diy-stuff, darts tipps) and found a channel, that uses parts of my content out of context and totally wrong messages. I couldn´t contact the other channel, because there was no mail, no adress and he deleted my comment directly and banned me of his channel. So i tried to claim my content and YouTube not only gave the other channel my name and channelname, so that he knew it was me. YouTube simply said "this is fair use" and gave ME a warning, that they will strike my channel if I go on with claims they decide for the other party. That said: since then the other channel insults me personally and pretty regularly for more than 12 months now and still uses my content as he wants to.

I hope one day YouTube lets us literally straight up replace the whole audio in a video. For example, think reediting the audio in your video in Premiere, then exporting it as an MP3 and uploading it, and YouTube re-muxes the video with the new audio. :( Though I suppose bad actors would abuse such a feature somehow and ruin it for everyone.

I deal with unintentional music playing in pretty much every video I film since I cover car shows. I've heard I can dispute it, but it takes thirty days. I have learned to keep the clips short even though it takes much longer to film and edit. When I get a copyright notice while uploading a video I just go back an re-edit and re-upload. I'm going to try the song removal feature next time I get copyrighted, but I'm worried it will take too long to process since most of my videos are over an hour long. Wish YouTube had a button to check when uploading that any music in the video is unintentional since it should fall under fair use since I'm covering a newsworthy event and didn't add the music myself. I have also tried using AI music tracks I made to cover up copyrighted music, but it looks like the record companies are coming after that next.

I’m way too familiar with this on my Supernanny reaction channel 😆
Great explanation!

[TrendlineProject]

The most important thing is to always have proof that you have a license, or had one at the time you were using it. Everything else is just details, and you'll get that cleared, my friend 😉

Rob sir what if certain part of the thumbnail is copied and used will it create any problem

[alejolab]

One extra piece of advice I would have liked to know before: **Save a copy of everything you receive and send** because AFAIK there is no way to check your history of claims/appeals. I have a video using a public domain version of classical music and it's getting claimed again and again. One of the times it got to an appeal and I was ready to get the strike and go to court because I was pissed off.

The first time I had to dispute a claim the proof I sent was great but was lost once I sent it. You don't receive a copy in your email nor can check it afterwards. The time I had to dispute the appeal I ended up finding a video of the recording session of the piece and references of the license owner stating it was public domain. Now that text and links are stored in my docs so I can reuse it whenever it's claimed again.

Lenghthy explanation... Direct to the point how to remove... Please

[MrBlackCheesus]

I haven't received a copyright strike, but how can i check that? Do i get a Massage or something like that?

[abundantlifehomestead]

I had several copyright claims from a company in South America when my grandmother played her piano and sang old public domain gospel hymns on my channel. I disputed every one of the claims, and won the disputes, but haven't bothered to use any kind of music since.

[AezlyndWanderin]

Okay you’ve convinced me. I was just going to make my channel an art journal but now I’m going to plan for some educational videos as well as I have some ideas that I’ve been bouncing around in my head. Btw if anyone is wondering I do not intend to teach art on my channel. That’s been overdone and at this point in art side of YouTube there are so many people selling shovels that it’s hard to see the actual mines.

Thanks for this information!!! I do have a question. Regarding “Reused Content.”
Sometimes I like to publish both a “full version”of a video for those who want all the details and then publish another version that has been edited down with less details. Is using my own published content to create a shorter version from it a violation?
