How to ACTUALLY use copyrighted music LEGALLY in 2024 🤫

[@robert.sec2]

so, this video in its entirety is an ad. Out of curiosity, what motivates the decision to film and release an ad as an individual video, vs recording a segment for lickd as an ad within another video as a sponsorship segment? Is it when you think the ad itself is informative enough that it can stand on its own? Or do some contracts specify that your payment is for making a separate video that is, in its entirety, an ad for a service? I ask because I can see in the recommended videos next to this one other videos that are, in the end, just ads for lickd, with similar runtimes and titles.

[@TC_Conner]

@@robert.sec2 Great comment/question. Will it prompt a reply? Mine didn’t. Are we way out of line or what?

[@mintysballroom]

Will there ever be a service like this for songs that AREN'T mainstream, like game OSTs and such?

[@-Arthur_Morgan_]

there was something like this, it was the copyright claims from a fan-made version of the original. (Undertale and Undertale Yellow) You can watch this on KZbin it is by CiblesGD.

[@JeffDearman]

its ridiculous you cant pay to be able to use songs. I mean like have a service you can use. with a monthly fee. I mean come on. You cant even put together a tribute video with music or you get it taken down because WARNER MUSIC and other places are being A-holes about it. Yet you can play their music in karaoke bars. what are they going to shut down karaoke as well?

[@lilafromyoutube]

From what I know, stores who play music have to pay a hefty fee to be able to license and play that music. That’s why budget stores usually don’t play music, to keep prices low. My assumption (emphasis on assumption) is that karaoke bars legally pay some license too

[@LaoWhy469Productions]

so how do these channels make huge money doing reaction vids? I've never been clear on that?

[@AM-bj4kx]

up

[@RyanRegier]

The reaction channels that actually make money off of the videos typically have developed a relationship with the record labels over time. The labels realize that a massive channel is potentially millions of new eyes on their artists music so they will *whitelist* that channels video so that they can use it and make money, because them not taking the revenue from a reaction video will cost them less than traditional marketing and potentially have more guaranteed upside. Whereas the average person without that relationship cannot do those same things. I don't know how the process specifically works and gets sorted at a major label level, but for a small independent artist it would like something like this. If I was to upload a song using Distro kid and you wanted to use it in a song, you send me the link and then I put that link in Distro kid as an exception and you are clear to use it in that video.

[@Albert-gu2gs]

You are able to dispute claims and state that you’re not using the song or video just to play it and that it’s altered via the reaction. If they don’t respond after a certain amount of days you can keep it all. Most people know who they can react too and what companies will block or ask for money.

[@stonemensch]

they use the gap in youtubes copyright rules called "fair use", this basically says you can put other stuff in ur vids if you comment on it, repurpose it and other stuff, it gets very complicated to understand this system tho and it gets even more difficult when it comes to monetization...

[@pinkkitten_nails]

Because they are analyzing the song in the video they are “educating “ about the song so it falls under fair use

[@emigxcha]

bro KZbin is so annoying 😭 I spent HOURS on a new video and KZbin decided to block it since it contained music from as it was by ed Sheeran 😭 I’m so upset because I can’t use any popular songs with my videos.. like KZbin.. I don’t think ed Sheeran is gonna be mad about a Gacha video using his song by a super small creator

[@lilafromyoutube]

Haha I get the frustration. Super annoying but that’s how copyright law works 🫠 there’s no way for KZbin to not follow the law

[@HannahMojave]

This actually limitates me as a creator to do what I enjoy.

[@lilafromyoutube]

I feel that

[@emigxcha]

@@lilafromyoutube omg I just realized you replied 😭😭 Tysm for replying ur one of my fav KZbinrs

[@cerseideverreoux5745]

@@HannahMojave of course it’s what you can do as a creator, but that is the way it should be because professionals when they make content and they want to add other people’s copyrighted works into their content. They pay them and if they don’t have the money to pay fundraisers or work out in agreement to share potential revenue, etc. A lot of musicians who need that revenue of their work to survive not releasing music. We all love that you want to use in your project, anyone were able to just dis Tribout the music totally for free because then making good music would not be a profitable career for them. Part of making films or how’s etc is raising money to pay for this stuff. It’s part of the industry. We may not think about that aspect when we were watching a show that we enjoyed or hear commercial with an awesome song but it’s objectively a good thing that We pay people to use their intellectual property.

[@Nasti_Akshun]

It doesnt have the songs i want

[@NotThxnderFN]

If a song I want to use is not on the website, is it fair game? Because I noticed many popular songs and artists are not even on there ex: eminem. I want to create a video using a song but if it doesn't show up and I don't do anything, I wouldn't want it to get taken down. Thanks.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Lickd has contracts with certain labels but not all, so when you can’t find it on lickd doesn’t mean fair game. It just means you can’t license it through lickd.

[@SHARKBAIT-art]

I’m a really small KZbinr like one person that goes to my content whenever I post really appreciate them btw and I really really wanted to use my favorite song in the background of my art time lapse so I was so scared glad I saw this

[@lilafromyoutube]

I hope it helped!

[@CTacstoretacstore-c3q]

Are you sure this is a safe idea?

[@EBee-zn4ys]

But how are these channels using hundreds of old Christmas classics, like Bing Crosby music, and are not getting copyright strikes? They've been allowed to do it for years... ??? Or is there a license somewhere to use these? Can't find the oldies on any platform.

[@HannahMojave]

That's what asking myself too

[@quuenbanaana8425]

At some point old music becomes common usage, in 1978 it became a law that when a work of art like music's creator has passed, it will remain copyrighted for 70 years and then become common use. Music created before is copyright free so that can include a lot of old classics. But if a modern artist would cover a song, their cover would probably get a new copyright for that specific recording. Some artist don't actually enforce copyright for their songs; Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know is not monetized, as he wanted for other creatives to be able to use his song in their projects. Also kpop companies don't really enforce copyright all that much, cause they tend to get free marketing that way; the more people can talk about the songs and spread clips of the music, the more people will come across the songs

[@JackoWacko25]

But doesn’t LICKD need a supcription

[@mikeshawbrook-selfreliance]

Ofcourse

[@amy.vdhelde]

If you are paying for a license to the song each time you buy a song, what is the subscription I have to pay before I can even finish setting up my profile? Is this like epidemic where if I stop the subscription, all videos with the music I previously had rights to get copyrighted?

[@cbdsattramom]

Yeah!!. That is what I want know! I'm also curious about that

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hi Amy! Firstly, I would get in touch with epidemic because that’s not supposed to happen. Everything you publishing during your active subscription should be covered forever! Re: lickd - their subscription is for their stock library. If you license a mainstream song, the video should not get copyrighted in the future. You will get a license document that will say you are covered in perpetuity. Please read their FAQ for more info :) this is what their website says “How long is my license valid for? Forever! The majority of our licenses are granted in perpetuity so there’s no danger of your video ever being taken down.”

[@lilafromyoutube]

@cbdsattramom I hope this answers your question too

[@wogozyt]

All is good while you pay them but what happens when you stop paying them? Do you have to take down you're own video as you're not covered anymore?

[@Lickd]

You're fully covered 👍When you purchase a music license for a video it covers you in perpetuity for that video.

[@90sKidsTimeCapsule]

​​@@Lickd Can I buy a license for a song I've already used that's gotten a copyright strike? I didn't know about this and the laws before.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Not as far as I know. You need a license at the time of uploading a video.

[@joserangelve]

So...if I make content for youTube using this licence....it´s exclusevelly licenced for youTube or can I repurpose some parts to other platforms?

[@WisdomwithSirLuke]

Great video. Liked and subbed. Q for you: can I sing one verse of an oldie acapella (circa 1960, no music) in my Short without facing KZbin hellfire? I see shorts all the time using popular and not-so-popular hip hop songs while the sports clip plays. Please let me know. Thanks.

[@taylors.drafts]

@ yeah but I didn’t get a strike or a claim so am I good?

You really should change it to "Why / how." The vast majority of the video is spent on the why-to, not the how-to.

Can i use the lickd music in lyrics videos ????

[@CozzMoyo]

I’m so confused with all these copyright rules like, I get it! song copyright, can’t used without permission. But I’m in the animation meme community, and I see copyrighted songs getting used everyday. Some animation memes gets trendy and then a lot of people do them! But nothing happens to thier channels what I’ve seen. As someone who doesn’t like to follow trends, The big C has scared me so many times and has grounded me and my creativity and I hate it I might just need to ask for permission to not get a headache everytime I upload a video

[@quuenbanaana8425]

question, I'm thinking of starting a channel for art. I wonder what does the big C mean and can copyrighted music be used if the video is just demonetized? (Like lyrics videos etc.)

[@TheGlitterMan]

I don't know why but when I use classic song such as Requiem: Dies Irae - Georg Solti. I got copystrike. This songs should be in public domain. I don't understand how all this work with any public domain music.

With Fair Use, It depends how the clip/video is used.
