Why is YouTube Content ID Flagging My Own Original Music??

When I filmed this video, I only had like 3 hours of sleep (sorry, I look so tired) ❤️

this is mad information, i was scratching my head and you saved my scalp with this video. Thank you

[chiseledMen]

Ok, this was very reassuring. Thanks!

[Dudja]

thank you for this video. needed this today 😊

Great info, but a question: if you are monetised it is better to claim the YT earnings from your own videos than to allow collection by a distributor who will shave off 20%.
So if YT flags one of your own music videos, can you successfully dispute it saying you are the copyright owner?
Who would see your dispute - the distributor? - and would they release the claim on your own video?

I feel like You Tube could be doing a lot more to let artists know what is going on. I can see where the confusion is coming from because nobody wants a copyright notice on their channel, and it feels particularly egregious if it's your own copyright.

With CDBaby (and maybe other distributors) actually having a Content ID and then uploading the track to your own channel, so it to be detected, is helpful. It's going to allow you to claim your YouTube artist channel (or at least that's how CDBaby works). Their YouTube integration finds your youtube channel by name and Content ID of your released track. That's exactly how I successfully claimed my youtube channel and now it has the music icon 😉

Hi. So if I understand correctly. It is better to do nothing about the copyright note of your own music in your own OAC, so that your distributor collects royalties for you (and their cut).
While if you do make a dispute, the distributor will not but you will be able to monetize the video on your own (but only if your channel is eligable of course).
Therefore, for small channels it is better to not dispute the copyright of your own music on your own OAC until the channel grows?
Did I get it right?

Thank you. I'm in a bit of a bind and this helped me get halfway there. I'm uploading a cover song soon and I'm worried the algorithm won't be able to tell my cover song from other people's cover songs (it's classical music, so it's hard for the algo to tell two violinists apart, even though mine is played on the synthesizer). So, this helped me figure out what to do with my non-cover songs; but I have no idea how I'm going to post it (via DistroKid and YouTube) without it getting flagged as someone else's cover. Odd, considering it's Bach, which is public domain.

Beautiful! Thank you for this clear video! I appreciate you.

[MindTripExperience]

YouTube keeps claiming ALL OF MY ORINGAL MUSIC. I also use LANDR. Neither company will respond to me. PLEASE HELP!

[stevesolo]

Thanks for this video, really helpful !

But why shouldn’t you be payed Adsense revenue on the video being streamed as its separate content from the music within itself surely?

[BradleyMcknight]

I add YouTube content ID to all of my releases. I am signed to an independent label that uses Amuse distribution, but my label allows me to dispute a copyright claims on videos that I upload to my channel that features the music that is in the YouTube content ID system. And if I schedule out my YouTube video a month or so before the release and dispute it straight away, I don’t have any views when it comes out that I’ll be tracked by YouTube content ID.

[maggiesgermanlearningsongs]

I am monetizing on content ID and I am a huge fan of music hub as a distributor. I make German learning Songs. Thanks for the Video! Gamechanger

[BluuFLWROfficial]

Amazing vid on this topic! Demystifying to say the least!

[Revontuletband]

In short, if you're the only one who posts your music on YouTube, don't use content ID because otherwise your royalties will be subject both to YouTube's and your distributor's fees. When there's thousand of streams from other channels, that might make more sense to participate in Content ID (still debatable cause not many people who have lots of views will use copyrighted music because of demonetization and it might be better in the long run to allow people to use your music for free if it brings more new listeners to you)

[DrownTheRiot]

I haven’t started distributing yet but my original YT channel is monetized and I’ve been told not to add Content ID if/when to distribute. You made a good point about it putting my name on my music if people used the track but I feel I promote more than the algorithm in some instances. In the past people have tried to use sounds and video clips from videos and I was notified. I wonder if this would be the same instance for audio. As I work in film/sound/animation by profession I was planning on releasing music videos and was wondering if i did do YT ID could I dispute the copyright claims on my own music? When working with other artists or using stock music i have purchased, usually the claim would lift after i showed the license provided by the client. Does Landr offer some sort of license valid for this or is the only option having them take a %? I’m fine with them taking a cut but not on my own channel if i can avoid it. Either way just came across your channel and after coming out of musical retirement after a lot of years your videos have been a great help on guiding me in modern music distribution.

If you‘re the only one uploading your own music with your own videos on YT you need to be safe nobody else records your music from yt, uploads it to spotify and claims it as his/ hers via a distributor, activates content id and you get a claim on yt for your own music by someone who „ stole“ it from your yt channel.
To be sure this does not happens, you have to activate content ID on your youtube channel for your uploaded videos. You can have YT offer your music via shorts to other people as a distributor for a monthly fee, but this is only possible after you have been accepted to the Adsense Programm…as far as I am concerned…🤷🏻‍♂️

Great video! Does Soundexchange or CMRRA collect content ID? Is there a conflict or I can still opt in and use cmrra for streaming sound recording royalties? Thanks!
