How To: Avoid Copyright Claims in Reaction Videos (FAIR USE)

[@Reedukayofficial]

Thank You!! Just getting started on reactions after being a musician for so long and def. needed to watch this. Thank you for the information! Also when you said you lifted the copyright on youtube for your music so other artist and creators can use it is genius!!

Very well Jacob! I am also a reactor of music videos and have to go through the exact same process every time. To be honest, the repetitive process of disputing my videos can get a little frustrating at time, but there is no other way around the copyright strike. That's smart how you have a scripted dispute ready to get for future videos.

[@Hassassini]

Reactor is not a thing. Piece of Shit that coasts off other people's work because they have 0 creativity IS however. I'ts one thing to review something, giving an analysis and opinion using some clips to illustrate those points, or making a parody/satire of the thing by changing some elements or putting them in a different context, but playing the full video and adding an audio track? Lazy and scummy, especially when you guys do it to other content creators that bothered oh, I don't know, CREATING something.

I may have missed it but how do you prevent copyright claims? The video just talks about what to do when you get a claim

[@melisanandy]

Hes says they are gonna getcha anyway

[@TheCaulkandBlock]

We just got a strike on our channel for one of our React videos. I used your guidance to dispute the video, but it was immediately denied within a few hours. I decided to take the next step and "Appeal" the rejection since it seemed too quick and perhaps "automatic" rather than intentional. That proved to be a mistake, as it resulted in a strike and take down of the video. There are other reactions to this same live performance on KZbin, but I guess we pushed to far with the appeal. Now, I'm going to contact the creator directly and try to get them to remove the strike. Any advice on that?

[@JacobRestituto]

Yeah, I would never recommend appealing the dispute, I’m honestly not sure if the creator will have a say in it, it’s likely more of KZbin or the people that claimed it, likely an outside company that the artist uses

[@Dynamofoe]

Thanks for this! My understanding was that if you dispute at all, you get a strike but seems like the initial dispute will not get a strike(?)

[@2Real_TV]

the initial dispute wont get you a strike, its if you try to appeal the dispute where they will give you a strike and take down notice. it even says so after you submit your initial dispute@@Dynamofoe

[@kristinestout1170]

Do the copyright laws include reacting to commentary videos, or just music and movies? Can you use news clips from cable or network TV without issues? What about someone's personal views video?

[@thehanggang]

hey Jacob, Im new to creating reaction videos but every time i do i get a copyright claim. When i would dispute it i would write thee same exact things that other KZbinrs have used but i would get it rejected. This is what i write in my dispute: "I have no intent on claiming this music for my own. I am simply reacting to the video and giving my constructive feedback." What else should i write ti dispute it so that it doesnt get rejected. Although my channel isnt able to be monetized yet. thanks in advance and hope to hear from you. -Shai Hang

The funniest part is how KZbin let's non monetized channels get claimed. Enjoy the 0 revenue I get. I'm just afraid of strikes more than I am claims. Should I be worried about getting my channel taken down for claims.

[@JacobRestituto]

Lol!! Yup! But learn from my mistake and dispute them even when you can’t be monetized yet, because otherwise you will have to go back later in the future and dispute all the videos that we never disputed back pre-monetization days And I wouldn’t worry about strikes from claims, only if you dispute the rejection claim, then you can potentially get a strike, so I have never disputed a rejected claim

[@classzedits]

what i hate about many reaction videos in youtube nowadays are contents claimed as reaction videos but basically they just re-uploaded other creators' hardwork with them on the screen, nothing else. if it's a funny content, they're just watching and laughing. if it's not funny they're making faces as a sort of reaction. but basically, all they did was show someone else's work and watched it with us. where's the idea of being a "creator" in those cases? there should be a way for youtube to identify what are really reaction videos, complete with discussion or explanation... and what are simply re-uploading and using someone else's content.

[@JacobRestituto]

completely agree

[@kloaf11reacts25]

"What I hate about many reaction videos is that they are just them reacting" is what I just read. Lol. I think it's a valid argument for you to think reaction videos are not content. I would extremely disagree. Not because this is my reaction channel writing this but because I watch other people's reactions to see how they also reacted to things I've already seen. Most reaction channels for videos hardly include the full video in any way that's enjoyable to just watch for the video. Otherwise, it would get the copywriter claimed. I'm not sure what else you would expect a reactor to do other than react going with the implied premise that you think reactors could be content. If they are going to be watching it for the first time they are unlikely to be able to provide an analysis or breakdown of the video. But that's a different type of video altogether.

[@OficialEliteGuest]

Really interesting, thanks. About seven years ago, I made some home travel movies for friends and family on KZbin - not monotised or anything - and at that time you could download music from Jamendo on a CC non-commercial use (with attribution) license. I went out of my way to source music I could use and even made voluntary donations to some of the artists. I recently went back into my old channel and realised that half of them now had copyright claims against them! I managed to track down one of the artists and he was really kind and said 'sorry for the mix-up' and withdrew the claim, but I was really hacked off with Jamendo because I had specifically sourced music they said I could use, and now I have to redo everything because I can't contact half the artists.

[@MireiaEstefanoOfficial]

Wanted to ask you a question about one of your comments. I am a scratch DJ but really do not make my own music. So, using yours to scratch to would be okay?

[@JacobRestituto]

You’re more than welcome to use my music! I’d love to hear it!

Hey, thanks for the video. It was very helpful. Is it still possible for you to post an example of the explanation that you use when disputing these claims ?

In the years I’ve been making reaction videos I’ve never tried to dispute a copyright claim.

[@JacobRestituto]

I think you should!

[@joshdove]

@@JacobRestituto yah I’m worried. Worst that can happen is they say no? Lol

[@originalimmigration]

Can I use any video on my video as long as I turn off the sound? Can I use a video of 50 cent or wyclef as long as the music is muted ? Will I get a strike or no?

[@jerriies]

thank you so much, really appreciate this video and your information. i just received a first blocked video on my reaction channel and was very confused since i felt the content creators i react to really appreciate the promotion and excitement, but it was also an older video - i really didnt understand it but this was very reassuring ☺️

[@LTLMedia]

Would love to see what you wrote when you disputed the claim. I don't see it in your description.

[@NabidAlam360]

Thank you for the video. For example I shot a video of my travel and used copyright music for that. Can I get rid of copyright strike after disputing?

[@JacobRestituto]

Strike??? No, you have to wait for that to be removed..

[@NabidAlam360]

@@JacobRestituto and did you mean that if I make reaction video of anything from youtube or sports video, I will initially get copyright, but after disputing, it may be considered for fair use policy? Else there will be strike but not affecting my account and the claimant will be earning from the ads?

[@SDStreetScene]

have you ever received a copy right claim on yourself? My whole channel had that issue and i did not notice because i went MIA for 1 year. Basically when i hover over to copyright owners i see my channel name which is odd, i dispute more than 100 videos where i used licensed music and the dispute was emailed to myself. My main question is, it still shows my name for copyright claims on some videos i didnt dispute yet because i used royalty free music. I am wondering what options i should select so i do not get a strike. I hope this makes sense and you can reply. THANKS!

[@JacobRestituto]

I would use the KZbin chat option in your studio

Thanks for sharing this information, What did you write to dispute your video?

[@Czarinederella]

is it good to just let "on" the monetization while being dispute? or it's better to turn it off?

[@JacobRestituto]

I always leave it on if they let me

[@Czarinederella]

@@JacobRestituto Oh thanks for swift reply 😇

[@wagnersonicrock]

Great video. I'm going to look for your other one on reaction videos. I've been trying to do a vodcast series on tv commercials but have had issues in the past playing and reacting to them on live and pre-recorded videos. Do you have any recoemmendations?

[@JacobRestituto]

If you film a few in advance, it’ll give you a little wiggle room with waiting for the disputes

[@wagnersonicrock]

@@JacobRestituto Thanks, man. Good advice.

[@_KpopAjumma_]

Hi Jacob, thank you for your videos. I have started doing reactions on music and to make the videos longer, I include several songs. Sometimes I get a "Partial Block" due to one of the songs claiming Copyright. Is the whole video demonetized or only a particular part? Is it worth disputing "partial blocks"?

[@JacobRestituto]

The whole video becomes demonetized based on any section that gets claimed

[@_KpopAjumma_]

Thank you 🙏

How long can a video clip be in reaction videos? Say if you had a reaction video switching from clips to your reaction?

[@JacobRestituto]

I’m not sure if it’s a specific amount of time, as opposed to what you’re saying

Do you need to dispute the claims if your channel isn’t monetized?

YES!!

[@BlessedBaubles]

I can’t follow what you are saying. Maybe you can get more focus on what you are trying to help us with because I find this to be all over the place. I just need to know how I can record Thrift with me videos and not get copyright strikes. I can’t control what the thrift store plays for music. And they play it loud! So, how can I go my job without being penalized by copyrights of music playing I can’t control? Thanks

[@JacobRestituto]

that's a great question, do you do the talking in the store? an idea could be to film in the store but add your own music and then talk when you get back home. You could also try and use some sort of effects to remove background noise

[@StrictlyLiverpool]

You can get around it but not manually. The owners can claim their contents manually if they want the money

[@melie_mei]

wow this just helped me sooo much. Not sure if anything changes, but I at least know now what to try hehe Thank you so much for this video!!
