How Faceless Channels Make Millions Avoiding Copyright

[@lavasteve5863]

It's weird how for some people they have the audacity to take someone's content and be like "why is it taken down?"

[@wmpx34]

Welcome to twenty-first century entitlement

[@gen-amb]

Wait until you get a copyright claim by a huge mega corp holding company claiming your completely original generative work is a copy of a 12 year old instrumental of one of their artists they dropped the ball promoting (27 YT views, one FB like and a plucked Twitter bird in 12 years in this case). You’re not going to be a fan of videos like this one outlining tips on how to target the least likely to have a legal defence department.

[@tapabrataghatak7963]

​@@gen-amb yea for this reason I don't use music. Man music is a huge trouble area. You will never know when you might get trouble. Or prefer to use oher creator's music with license.

[@betsi_jae]

That's exactly what I got from this. Its so messed up 😢

[@PixelTheory]

I mean it kinda depends on perspective right? If you truly believe that people should be able to create content using footage from external sources, then it's not really about taking from those who won't fight back, but rather not taking from those that will knock you out and drown you in legal waters where you can't fight back at all.

[@LivinTheGreen]

Its called creative leveraging.

[@jmg999]

@@PixelTheory That's not a legitimate perspective. You are able to use external sources as long as you license those sources. Some of those licenses cost money, some don't. When you actively steal from someone else, it's not about drowning you in "legal waters where you can't fight back," it's about asserting THEIR legal right to THEIR content, which you actively stole.

my friend had a channel like yours, in month 2 or 3 he got millions of views and over 3000 subs but when he applied for YT partnership... REJECTED for not adding enough value to the copyrighted content.

[@tapabrataghatak7963]

Yea it all depends on what are you making. Prime Example of transformative content is Reaction channels. For other channels like science channel or some channels like education or explaintion type they generally use few seconds clip for refference purpose.

[@WalrusRiderEntertainment]

Commentary and criticism of news stories and interviews etc is very important part of fair use as it doesn't let the news organisation control the narrative.

[@flyhyland]

I hada situation recently where I was using some music from a game in one of my videos. The developers are very cool with people doing this on KZbin (they've literally said this), it doesn't get flagged by the Content ID system and they don't make copyright claims. But I used a certain piece of their music that did get flagged by Content ID. I was confused, and it turned out that it got flagged by another company that I guess represents independent music artists or something like that. Turns out some guy had remixed the game's music into his song, causing the Content ID to flag it as owned by him. I tried to appeal it but, of course, KZbin just told me that the guy claims it's his and, as I'm not the owner of the music either, I can't really go further and say 'well, no it's not owned by him.' Just kind of sucks that the developers let people use their music and you've got a$$holes remixing it into their songs that are then copyrighted which prevent other people from using it themselves like they did.

[@wearejungians]

That's probably the scummiest thing I've read. Hope those "independent artists" get their karma served...

[@goat1408]

Exactly....I used music from Dragon Raja (a mobile game) and it got claimed by some ásshãt

[@mySeaPrince_]

Did you email the Game Developers about it all? Also say they need to do a basic licence to stop someone doing this. The thing is.. You are using the original not their remix. I suppose someone could get their remix and remix it again and then copyright them...

[@jmg999]

For all of you ripping on the person who issued the claim, they paid to use that source material. They have a right to defend their use of it the same as any copyright holder.

[@flyhyland]

@@mySeaPrince_ I considered it but I was concerned that they wouldn't know how to handle the situation or what they could do (the claim is on my video after all, not theirs, meaning the option to appeal is only available to me, even though it's their music) and was concerned they might think the only response is to begin actively claiming and flagging all their music themselves to ensure no one else does, resulting in the same problem but worse. I might still do it though, I'm not sure. I'll continue to look into it.

[@HofTheStage]

I follow Noah on Twitter, and one thing that bothers me in these videos is that he never mentioned a case where he lost a buch of channels linked to the same gmail account, because of copyright strikes and lost about 20 000$ from ad revenue a month if I remember correctly. (He has a Twitter thread about it). The way he avoids the risk now is with putting the high risk content on one gmail account, and lower risk content on other accounts, so if he losses some of them, it's less of a problem. It's definitely an interesting topic. Not sure where Google stands with having multiple Ad sense accounts though, I think you can only have one connected to your own name? You could always open more from your family members and stuff but this whole topic is a bit shady and people should definitely be careful and decent if doing this...

[@RandomButBeautiful]

Google told me in 2018 that you can have one Adsense Channel "per business entity". At the level he is at I'm guessing that there is more than one LLC, which would make sense.

Transformative is part of the key. Also, if your faceless video takes away any reason to watch the original content, you're heading for a confrontation.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Body camera footage is public domain: IE, its typically royalty free. Its really that simple, don't steal commercial work.

[@FredericiasChannel]

I'm not sure what VidIQ's intention is with this video. But it strengthens my resolve to not watch any videos on channels of this type. If they're not monetized and just sharing what is actually allowed to be shared, that's one thing. But to give counsel on how to skirt the laws and reduce your risk of getting caught, well, it just proves this guy's morals.

[@thenodiggardener]

I think some people are very mistaken about what 'public domain' means when it comes to copyright. Just because it's on the internet, or even published on a site that claims it is 'copyright free' does not mean something is 'public domain, thus copyright free. To be public domain a piece of content must indeed be copyright free, and it isn't unless expressly stated as so by the creator, or owner of the copyright, and the owner of the content isn't always the owner of the copyright. This is why, as a commission artist, I originally started taking my own reference photos. I then owned the copyright on the photos, and the art.

[@touringcarmagazine]

Exactly, people cannot be bothered to actually search out the CC license (and double check to make sure that someone hasn't lifted it then put it out under CC themselves.) It's too much hard work. People find your angle too much hard work, going and taking your own photographs. It's an angle I always admire. When I began in Motorsport journalism I found CC images were usually too poor quality (shots of F1 races from the 70s aren't generally good for publishing!) Modern CC shots from motor races taken by fans actually broke the condition of entry if used even editorially - rendering them unusable (even if rights holder don't enforce - not worth the risk) and press release images were very limited - eventually went through the process gain accreditation to do it properly myself. Life would be so much easier if I could just lift content......

[@thenodiggardener]

@@touringcarmagazine Just given you a subscribe since both my son and I are rallying fans, but will watch track racing too.

[@tapabrataghatak7963]

Well according to law public domain means usually the owner Donated it for free or the copyright has expired. For books its usually till the authors death. And for music- its till 50 uears after owners death. Well for photos its 70 years after owners death. Also Copyright free photos or Videos which one usually get they are not in public domain but Technically in Creative commons license but they don't usually bother to ask

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I do very transformative and educational music analysis videos. The bulk of my content is listening to a piece of music, stopping often to reflect and breakdown what is happening composiontally and rewind to go over again. This process is repeated over and over throughout the piece. 95% of my uploads are claimed. I have made sure to stay very true to transformative and educational content my entire time on KZbin. I dispute most of the claims and lose most of the claims. The rejection notice is almost immediatly. I think in a year and a half of disuputes I have won maybe 7 total and that was primarily because they didnt respond within the 30 day window. I was REALLY hoping this video would go over the process of when you DO get claimed and how he handles disputing and IF he issues an appeal after the dispute. Thanks for the video!

[@RandomButBeautiful]

Really interesting. the whole system is a bit ridiculous. It would be so much better if they can just calculate the royalty due to the content creator and send it to them instead. Like they do with radio. Any licensed broadcaster can play your song and you just get a payment. Embed the watermark system into the video editing apps so that the metatagged revenue share breakdown is uploaded along with the video, everyone can use everything and everyone gets their share. So if your video has 30 secs of someone else's song, and its the only thing playing, then they get 30 secs worth of the $$$. Just an idea but I hope something like this would happen in future.

[@gen-amb]

Agreed. Bad vibes from VidIQ. Was considering paying for VidIQ. Your point is well taken about their true colours here given this comes across like cheerleading for copyright abusers. Good video nonetheless though. Better to know. When you’ve had a copyright claim placed clearly by analysis on your entirely original work multiple times by huge mega holding companies long enough to observe that they actually have a market in trading copyright claims, you will be even less impressed by the moral position on theft that VidIQ has apparently decided to take here about how to sneak away with ill gotten gains in your career as another IP appropriation abuser. The key purpose of “Fair Use” under the U.S. copyright Act of 1976 ushered right in and placed in the seat of highest honour in this video as “a legal doctrine” without the slightest challenge by VidIQ in this piece (presumably because that would tend to upset the soothing pro-theft narrative and negatively impact AVD in this video) is to identify evidence, not to provide meme cred as B-roll in any random scheme uploaded. Big companies have done this (to me for one example) since many years ago. Calling the recipe “faceless” doesn’t ennoble it or change the ingredients list. And VidIQ is apparently working hard now to spread the exact knowledge of precisely how you too, kids, can become a successful internet pickpocket. Start out by choosing targets well: no big companies with legal departments! You want to stick with DEFENCELESS targets. But careful you don’t do anything wrong while you’re pickpocketing. Just because there’s a way to get away with it doesn’t make it right.

[@DiskiDomain]

"The impact" on the Copyright holder. It's obviously detrimental. We see non stop these thieving channels get waaay more views than the original. That's facts. And so in that case the original uploader should be entitled to a portion of revenue. I don't understand why this whole system is so complicated. There's such an easy fix to all of this. The ORIGINAL owner or uploader should always be getting some fixed portion of any works remade. whether its 1% or 5% or an amount we could eventually all agree on. I don't see how that's difficult to register with content id? But no....let's rather let thieves steal literally thousands from creators or uploaders that aren't even monetized in the first place.

Years ago I had an Internet cafe in Bucharest -Romania. Games, OS software was licensed or open sources. One day, we had a guy for Romanian Copyright Association who come to check if we are respecting the law, and we bought OS and software. But we put music all the time there. An online radio. And the guy told us we have to pay for that. It wasn't a penality. is was a contract between our company and Romanian Copyright Association - entitled to collect that money and distribute to authors. Is was something realy cheap like 10 or 20 dollars for one year. After that, the guy told us: "I am a musician and I know this copyright is just a trend. Also less that 30% of that money are going back tu creators" I will be happy to use YT music and pay for it if that money are going 90% to the creator. Unfortunately is not like that.

[@ANIMNESIXS]

Here's something I will tell from my over 10+ channels over 13 years experience here in YT which is also something I discussed with other content creators and it's not even mentioned or hinted once here, in this video or others talking about this topic. - No matter what "outsource content" you use, once your channel gain repercussion and certain amount of numbers starting to make you some interesting money.. you will be targeted by companies as individuals that will run a bot or manual check all your channel listing all possible "clips, memes, sounds, music" you may have used and start to massive report your videos but not to take down your channel but to take away your monetization. - There were cases, that even if you create your own visual meme, emote or whatever, a company or individual may take that visual and register it's copyright then copy strike all your YT videos claiming ownership over that single element and YT will not help you but give all monetization to that shady company or individual. - Just be aware, whatever content you do here on KZbin, if you get lucky enough to make love with the algorithm and grow your numbers into millions, you will run into this kind of problems and will be forced to hire lawyers and mentally prepare yourself for an infinite fight in this issue.

Under US law there is no “legal doctrine called fair use” as this foreign national kid lectured about US law. There is the Copyright act of 1976 which name was not changed to “the Fair Use Law” by Wikipedia despite the Wikipedia page title. They don’t arbitrarily alter half century old legislation by the results of X Polling that say ‘theft should now be a right, but only for ME.” Fair use is not a “legal doctrine” and even if it were a legal doctrine that doesn’t override the law, no matter who wants it to. Fair use refers to an exception that can be allowed by a judge on a per case basis. That it is often allowed is not determinative. Any judge can refuse to consider what you’ve done to fall under the fair use exception. Like if you’re not the NYT for example, using an unauthorized screen grab in a story. Then you’re just another thief. There is no right justified as “fair use” for anyone to steal. This “transformative” test is now what’s being determined in cases like Getty Images vs Dall-E. Fair use has become a defence strategy. If your lawyer says “we’re going to plead ‘fair use’” that’s because he knows you will just look like a thief to the judge. If you buy a fancy enough AI hedge trimmer (or you do it by hand) that it “transforms” the part of your neighbour’s hedge facing you to resemble Mt. Rushmore, does that mean a Judge will then move your neighbour’s property line away from you award some of your property to your neighbour? Because that’s what all these “transformative” people are saying should happen. ‘I copy pasta’d a special prompt so that should give me some legal rights in your property.’ I don’t think so, Tim. There’s a LOT of Silicon Valley money whining to judges about this but under law I personally don’t think it’s going to work over the long term. Because eventually a case will go to the US Supreme Court and no Supreme Court is going to say “ownership is only 1% of the law.” You can diminutize what I’m sayings by cordoning it off as “opinion” but then your opinion is going to change when somebody like this man steals your original content from you. Opinions can invert based on experience. Opinions can also be objectively right wrong. Calling something an opinion doesn’t magically change the moral nature of that thing from objective to subjective in nature.

How does music apply to this?

[@HaikuTutorials]

What do you mean? You have a huge KZbin Library available for everyone to download, so there you can find free copyright music for your videos ;)

[@OCON.]

If you are asking questions like this, you did not listen to a thing in this video and you need to get your ass out your head

[@muhammadnaeem2378]

Fabulous information 🌹. Thanks Vidiq

[@MichilenDoll]

Thanks so much for this video

[@KrissNorde]

So after telling people to exploit their team. You teach them to steal content from other people and even precise them to use the one from people that cannot fight back... Your an inspiration to all of us @vidIQ

[@realoraiyoutube]

Great video. I run over 20 faceless channels and this is spot on.

[@TimesWithJames]

Hows that going? Be interested to know what the slog was like before seeing results...

[@Tobycatastrophe]

It's interesting knowing this video is recommended to me after 9 month's

[@JSPL4SH]

Love your videos helping me get on the right track with my channel! Keep up the good work 💪🏼

[@amillison]

As a creator who has had my content stolen and repackaged by people like this, I've got to say that this is predatory and parasitic. If you can't come up with your own original content, then get out of the game. This is a very immoral way of earning money.

[@Factosaurus24]

Very Informative !!!

[@SweatJam]

@VidIQ Do you still get paid with personal account? Or is it only brand youtube accounts now? And what about kid channels? My kids have a channel but debating if they should switch to brand or not

[@ComputerChickProductions]

I am a faceless youtube channel since 2006 not monetized ( no watch hours) but create my own content and edit it

[@AngelinoDiallo]

I hope you read this comment. This video is super impooooorrrrtant. Thank you uploading. Keep it.

[@UnveiledSecrets6]

Amazing Video!.

[@wtfnews642]

Very good information! I was getting ready to do everything wrong....

[@realbadger]

But KZbin has no clue what Transformative means and/or what/how Fair Use is or how it works. I upload podcasts I co-host, and most of the time it claims copyright issue as our primary host uses some intro/outro music _over which he speaks,_ transforming it from Just Music to opening/closing themes with narration. I've not tried to monetize the channel due to these non-strike level copyright issues KZbin clearly doesn't/won't understand...

[@treestuffer]

you can't just take someone's music and "transform it" by speaking over it, you absolute midwit

[@BeginnerOrigami]

Thank you for the information this video was so helpful! 🤠

[@AvisPope]

Great video ❤ Thanks for the information 🌹

[@3amnightmares]

Great information, thank you!

[@Mr.Reseach_shorts]

If you're running a faceless channel,and you like giving up, be motivated by this guy who made it. Don't give up

[@izzyrov5814]

Not everyone makes it though, that's the truth according to data.

[@touringcarmagazine]

One piece of advice as a long-time pro motorsport photographer right now. Don't go lifting F1 photos under the control of Motorsport Images. Their legal agents are on the hunt again. The last KZbin hunt a couple of years back almost cost Aiden Millward his house (he has a video on his channel about it, search it out if you're a creator - lessons to be learned there.) A few people were hit then. I'm not bothered when people lift my photos of UK racing (which happens often - all I ask is to be credited) but the official photos from the series I mainly cover (British Touring Car Championship) are being cracked down on with creators - they are released with a caveat that only drivers/teams can use on socials/youtube) and with it being UK based entities vs UK based creators the Fair Use terms quoted from US law appear to not be a protection. Intriguing stuff.

[@RandomButBeautiful]

top comment. Fair use is a lot flimsier than people think when it comes right down to it: I take the view that if you are monetizing the content, it's generally not going to be accepted. I got hit with a claim over a 300x300px image (not motorsport) that I grabbed over 10 years ago for an informational website... which had been uploaded to flickr and turned out to be owned by mirror pix. Super aggressive and they didnt GAF about the fact that I "thought it was usable" due to someone else's misattribution. I settled for $500 out of court. It's only going to get more intense as AI tools to recognize lifted content - images, fonts, etc becomes more advanced.

[@BenFormula1]

This is very good to know. Do you know if F1 videos (copyright) also count?

[@touringcarmagazine]

@@BenFormula1 It's strange. If you'd launched your channel five or more years ago the video footage you've used would have rights holders coming after you. But I'm not sure what their view is at the moment. It is breaking their terms, but they seem to be leaving things alone for now. If you channel grows and you're still using their content they'd probably be interested in you, and possibly getting some videos taken down.) However, some of the photos you've used are owned by Motorsport Images subsidiaries (LAT, Sutton, Schlegelmilch etc) if you come up in the search by the agency they've contracted then they'll probably try a takedown if you're not monetised, but if you do earn they'll want a BIG chunk of cash.

[@Movie-BoxOffice]

Can get demotize from short policy copyright?

[@BLURTHEGHOST]

I have been on this plane, and seriously, I plan on suing.

[@BlazedApples]

I am currently faceless but I'm thinking of doing facecam stuff soon honestly

[@ZEPHYR_YT4]

Same

[@Falconjun]

thanks for your good content sir.

[@adama3231]

Does text referring to the source make any difference? A way of showing you are acknowledging the original creator and not just trying to steal content? Does it help your argument for fair use or is it just a waste of time?

[@NE_Victoria_Australia]

My channel is less than a year old and tiny. It is on Homesteading - in Australia. I film all my own footage. But sometimes I want to put out a video, that is going to say require a seasonal shot of something - lets say for instance carrots being harvested by hand, or planting a tomato. If I can find a snippet a carrot being pulled up, (less than 3-5 seconds!) can I use it if I am giving a commentary over the top of the images? I am very new to all of this and was tech phobic 12months ago, so everything about video creation is a steep learning curve....

[@RimaruTempest-qf2ze]

what about music?🤔 for instance, if i only use 90seconds of a song, speed it up and change the lyrics to something completely different from the songs lyrics?

[@pinkysaka1512]

Thank you for sharing this information

[@Mlopesfornow]

I created a voiceover and edit for a small clip from an old novela, and it was still copyrighted claim because of a 2 second tune. 🤣 how do I go about creating educational videos if I can’t show examples

[@gavegas7043]

Excellent video 😊

[@Zumwania]

Better to make a faceless channel that is always original footage and your own story or narrative, no need to worry about copyright claims, and the only problem you may run into is if you record game music or logos that are not allowed. Might take longer to monetize but when you get monetized you get to keep it.

[@ABCFacts101]

I noticed on my channel that videos created by me with Creative Commons footages don't get recommended well. Adding value through transformation is quite subjective. Another thing I noticed is if I pay licenses for songs they keep copyright claims for long before clearance. during this time they get some money probably. What happens if I delete a video with a copyright claim? I think is better to delete after clearance. What do you guys think?

[@RandomButBeautiful]

interesting, so you think the algo is downrating it because the footage also appears elsewhere. Makes sense but did not know.

[@ABCFacts101]

@@RandomButBeautiful yes. Using copyrighted footage under fair rule might result in you sharing the income produced by the video with the copyright owner as well. He lets use the footage but claims a part of the income. Everything is quite tricky. The best is you have your own footage.

[@SanaaTek]

In a nut shell, Taking someone's content is as difficult as creating your own content if not more😂

[@ontariocbclub]

I am sure youtube watched this video carefully and went back to the drawing board, to decide what the next step will be

[@ultimatekids5550]

Very informative. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Pieter_De_Bruyne]

I can't even find his channel....

[@SCARaw]

Simple Guy stole the material Didnt credit author And you still watch him

[@Linqian_WL]

people walking through a whole movie within 10 mins or putting many music video clips in one video seem not get into trouble of what you call copyright.. why is that?

[@kadenwilliams9780]

How can you use clips in your videos without worrying about whether or not theyll CR you? ex. them using real life footage of people in court ( court case videos ) or whether motivational videos where they'll pull different scenes in movies/shows exc. and being able to use them...
