Sampling vs Content ID: Why Can’t I Use Non-exclusive Samples in My Release?

What are Content ID systems, how do they work and why have they been blocked on my release?

Content ID systems identify copyrighted material and ensure rights holders are fairly paid. With RouteNote, anyone can upload to YouTube Content ID, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for free and start earning money from their music used in videos across these platforms.

If you've received an email from us saying that Content ID stores have been blocked, this is likely due to the use of non-exclusive samples. Regardless of whether they are paid or free, non-exclusive samples can be used by anyone, therefore causing issues on these services. If you believe we've made a mistake blocking Content ID, please fill out this dispute form:

Read the license that comes with the sample pack. If you are using a sample from the sample pack it will say that it is royalty free once you have purchased the sample pack which gives you a non exclusive license over all the samples, beats and music in that pack. Other people can use those too, and content ID cannot be used and should not be used when people use sample packs, but some idiots do it anyway and it creates a headache on many of us who have used bass and drum samples on our tracks only to be hit with a content ID... which is not legal. Also drum beats are not copyrightable. So therefore if you just released a track with just drums no one can claim you violated copyright unless you are taking the sample directly from another song.

Hey guys, I uploaded a song for the first time 6 days ago setting the release date on April 22. But it's still in review though. Why is it taking so long for that process? Can you help me anyway?

I Think I Figured Out The Problem! The Reason Why My Release Is Still Disapproved, It's Because I Was Adding Content ID In It! So That's Why My Release Is Still Disapproved! That Means, I Will No Longer Add a Content ID On My RouteNote Release! But, If I Remove a Content ID On My RouteNote Release, Would My Release Still Be Approved?
