In this episode I discuss how Music Publishers and Record Labels Ripoff KZbin musicians and what we can do about It. It's making teaching on KZbin almost impossible.

So true. I gave up playing in a live band with own (good) songs because of this. Music is the best but as a musician you have to rely on managers, agencies etc. But unfortunately these 'people' are not in the business because they love music, they only love MONEY.. Sharks everywhere and honest integre musicians are sensitive people so they get eaten. The music business stinks even more than the movie business.

That wouldn't work. It's the record companies that file the claims. If youtube (or another platform for that matter) doesn't comply, they sue KZbin. That's why Rick says: KZbin wants to stay out of it. They just comply, rather than go on a multi billion dollar lawsuit road with the record companies. If KZbin was out there to fight these claims, they would do it. But they're in the business of showing videos. You can call it cowardly, but I can understand their standpoint. Losing money over a moral or ethical standpoint is not something a business wants to be known for. Sadly...they'd have the suport of the people, but it's gonna cost them a lot of dollars.

Mike Philippens you are 100% correct that it’s the record company not KZbin. Any platform would have the same happen on it. But you are off on one point - KZbin not wanting to lose money in the fight. They are owned by Google. And Google is worth 1,000 Billion dollars (that’s a trillion but 1,000 billion sounds better!). So spending a couple hundred million on lawsuits is pocket change. They know what the record companies are doing is wrong but they are choosing to let it happen.

@@LAGreg123 Still, they choose not to do anything because they don't want to loose money. I don't mean that their profit goes away, but a lawsuit against the record companies could be a millions of $$$ for lawyers. It's gonna cost them money, so they won't do it. They will only do it, if something would happen to them if they don't. So maybe a world wide action from the content creators. Let's say one day (or longer) upload only videos where your complain about this situation en setup a petition to change this situation. Call the media, get all the big content creators on YT to participate. If there's enough negative publicity, they'll change something. There's enough bad publicity about Google being a monopolist, so in this case that works too.

There is absolutely NO incentive anymore to be a musician starting out. You'll get screwed over on the internet, playing clubs is a thing of the past to get your start. You basically have to either be a cookie cutter pop/rap star who can easily be controlled through drugs/blackmail/etc, or a legacy act to make any sort of living off of "music" these days. The industry ate itself and will inevitably crash and burn by cutting out the creativity which first bred them success.

Here's the fucked up part. In Western music there are 15 key centers, three which are enharmonic. Inside each key center there are modes. Inside each mode are a set amount of notes ascending or descending. Only so many variables can be made with a finite amount of notes, chord progressions, whatever...so, there will never be any melody of music that could not be analyzed to be similar with another composition. Unless it's an obvious ripoff like Vanilla Ice's song was, it's damn near impossible to not hear past influences in every genre. Imagine this in rap where most of it is similar in style and arrangement. Lunacy to limit art defined by how many notes on in this case, where a popular scale resembles a famous song.

Had this happen to me as well. Also had my ISP back in 1999 get a letter from a publisher because I had "illegal mp3 files" on my website. Those were my songs. They later tried to claim that because I used certain instruments, they owned the rights to the songs by proxy because the companies were somehow related. Needless to say, nothing came of it because they didn't dare try this in court. But today, they don't have to go throught the court. Honestly what I'd do is get legal counsel and sue their asses. It will be a monetary loss for sure, but I would NOT rely on the youtube processes in any way.

My dad wrote thirteen #1 songs (country). As I showed him You Tube vids by the hundreds of his work and he learned how easy it was to play his music royalty free, he went crazy ! He had no idea ! Of course, he never owned a computer and thought the internet was a passing fad. But, as the years went by and we set up a few channels for him, he realized that these sources were actually keeping his music alive and relevant. Song that were 30 years old were getting views, getting shared, getting learned and played. Then, he felt differently. Now that he's gone, I'm grateful for these sources, because they keep him here through his music. Just a perspective.

I'm sick of the abuse of copyright by big corporations. Copyright law exists to protect people from having their work ripped off without accreditation, to present a clear product to the marketplace without confusion as to who created it or who deserves the revenue from that product. No one is watching a video where a song is clearly presented as an existing work by an artist and a section of its melody used as an example about songwriting, and being confused or misled about the ownership of that copyrighted work. No one could ever think you wrote that song, no one could then listen to the original song and think "Hey, these Beatles guys ripped off Rick!". It's essentially free advertising for the original song. No revenue that would otherwise have gone to the rights' holders has been misappropriated by Rick. Copyright law should not be about conglomerates nickel and diming the world because ten seconds of a song happens to be used as an example.

Rick, That was the most eloquent rant I've ever heard man, especially for such a touchy subject for musicians, songwriters, and music lovers in general I would imagine...Don't know for sure because I'm in the musician category, but I think anyone with a true love of music would be sickened by the hypocrisy of greed in contrast to what most Rock & Pop music has always represented...I appreciate you speaking up for us, and I agree completely with everything point you so clearly made. Oh, and I'm sure the irony of the topic (greed) against the backdrop of songs like "Can't Buy Me Love" "All We Need is Love" isn't lost on you, it certainly isn't lost on me. Well, take care, keep doing what you're doing Brother, I'm a big fan, I watch your videos or listen to them daily. Sincerely, Russ

Last week I got SIX copyright claims on ... MY OWN MUSIC ... literally. I shared an hour-long Piano album I released two years ago, and shared it on my YT channel. Minutes later, SIX companies claimed copyright on this music. These are all HYMNS from the 1800s 😳 arranged and recorded by me on solo Piano. How in the world can someone claim copyright ON MY OWN MUSIC? Whaat?

Yep. Labels are becoming more and more obsolete and they know it. Pop music hasn't changed much in 25 years, because the big record companies found a formula that makes tons of money, and that is all they care about. Mainstream country music is a good example of what happens when you let label executives take creative control from artists. There are so many incredible musicians making diy music nowadays, and they don't have to have hundreds of thousands of dollars to record an album. And music fans don't need radio stations to introduce them to these artists. Instead of having a few handfuls of superstars with multi-million dollar record contracts, I'd like to see more of these diy artists be able to make a living wage from their music.

Remember when Google (owner of KZbin) was first starting out and had in their Code of Conduct the phrase "Don't Be Evil", which was a swipe at other larger companies like Microsoft and IBM, who were supposedly so awful. They were essentially trying to claim the higher ground as though they were a company that "cared" about its customers. Then, when Google got big enough, they dropped that phrase from its Code of Conduct. This pattern happens with every company: 1) Pretend to care about customers, 2) Get big and admit you never cared about customers to begin with.

Mario Odyssey wasn't as innovative but the game is really really polished, I haven't played Fire Emblem, but they seem to have gotten to their roots before the DS era while keeping things from the DS era and people seems pretty happy about it, AC just looks amazing... And yet you have the best-selling IP, pokemon, being so so lazy with a half-assed game, poorly animations on combat and cut scenes, a really lame script.. heck the only thing keeping it alive is how people are exploiting the raids to farm shinies and flex them with their friends, competitive in the top places is stagnant too. and yet I bought it, my partner, too, a lot of people because we wanted to share that first experience on switch, and yeah the saving grace to this is the community behind the game, otherwise, I would have dropped it with a really really bitter taste.

I've received what must be hundreds of copyright claims on a my channel when I do album reviews and analysis videos. I've disputed every single one of them via fair use. Yes, some of them get rejected (mostly from Universal and Sony) so then I appeal them, all of them. Finally yes, some of them get rejected then as well (mostly by Sony) and I have gotten copyright strikes. I then submit a counter-notification (basically, "Remove the claim, or take me to court"). I have gotten every single claim and strike removed from my channel. I have even gotten my channel taken down but then later I got reinstated by not letting up on my disputes. I know I'm a smaller channel, but you can fight them. These are all scare tactics as they do not expect most KZbinrs to actually fight these (let alone have knowledge on IP and copyright law) and they certainly don't want to waste the time and money to actually pursue these in court. You hit the nail on the head when you said "KZbinrs are scared," but somebody's gotta fight this fight. Hell, even Anthony Fantano never plays the music that he's talking about on his channel. Hell, I might be the only one fighting this fight, but somebody has to fight it. Sorry for the long comment but this something I deal with daily on my channel so your rant resonated with me. P. S. I've gotten claimed for Beatles tunes multiple times and have successfully fought them all off. I believe they were "Sgt.

Why don't all the large KZbin channels organize and bring a class action suit against KZbin for legitimizing bogus copyright claims? This is becoming a very common complaint, and probably won't change until KZbin suffers a financial consequence. They pick on channels individually, but I'd figure many of the largest KZbin channels would have a collective interest in putting an end to this nonsense. Edit: it's really like some of you haven't watched the video, but are still commenting. No one is complaining about LEGITIMATE copyright claims. The, quite obvious, bogus claims being honored are just leeching money from content creators. The goal would just be to pressure YT to create a better system than rubber stamping every single claim as legitimate.

The current system was designed by Google as a way of making themselves bulletproof against the army of lawyers which got sicced on them. The alternative to what they have now was either shutting KZbin down or risking the loss of billions of dollars _and_ shutting KZbin down. Suing Google will do nothing. They're following the path of maximum profit and least risk to themselves. The problem isn't Google, it's late-stage capitalism where people are allowed to "own" sequences of genes or Pepsi blue.

When my mom died, I put together a slide show of pictures of her with James Taylor's Something In the Way She Moves playing in the background. I put it up on KZbin and shared a private link on FB so that people who knew her could watch and remember. Within a day I received a copyright infringement notice and was told the video would be taken down. The bastards have no heart. They'd rather err on the side of "pay me" than do the right thing. Welcome to the machine.

@Golden Knight I get your point and I'm not saying it's okay to steal copyrighted material just because you're bereaved. I'm just annoyed by their heavy-handed enforcement of a very minor infringement. I'm sure any feeling person at the label who saw the slideshow would have said, "let's let this one go." But there are no feeling people making these decisions. They wrote a bot, it found a link and followed it, found a digital signature, and sent an infringement notice to KZbin. No people involved. This was a private link seen by a few friends and family members. I get it that it's easier for them to just say no to everything. I just wish they'd be a bit more discriminating.

Rick, one way around this but it would be a major pain in the ass for the viewer would be when you get to the part of the video where the example is, ask the viewer to pause your video, open up another tab for KZbin and then play the song. When done, the viewer would go back to the original tab and unpause. I thought the old rule was 30 seconds or less of a song and you didn't have to pay. Radio stations play segments of that length. Maybe now the labels are making everyone pay regardless.

Funny thing - schools do have to pay for their music, even when that music is in the public domain. Unless! They write out the public domain song and publish the sheet music themselves. But you can't copy somebody else's printing, and sheet music publishers will deliberately include errors in the printing so that they know when somebody else has copied *their* version of the public domain song. Which then allows them to sue the person who copied it. So, even if it's in the public domain, you have to find a printing of it that's in the public domain to work from so you don't get sued by a publisher. And they can be fierce about that stuff because it's so easy for new competition to come along.

It's called a "declaratory action" - it means you're asking the Court to "declare" that your content meets the definition of the "fair use" exemption... you wouldn't have to pay attorney's fees out of pocket... and if you win - you can get attorney's fees and damages paid be the loser...however - youtube would just cancel you - soooooo.. but, yeah, what I said before - Excellent video.

Very interesting stuff, RIck. Great insight. The legal idea is that anyone making money using copyrighted material is subject to fees paid to the creator (or legal holder). Now as you show, you don't even have to make money incur a infraction. From the label view, I suppose the mentality is - a progession of hand axe chops to a tree will eventually cause it to fall. So they must vigorously defend even the smallest incident. And since musicians make basically no money from recording any more - they have to get it any way they can. In the end, I agree with you - this is an over strident response to your original post.

@@DavidAndrewsPEC I would agree thats a better definition, but "owning your message like a plot of land" it's still a false precedent that I see more people profiting from exploiting how the system works then what the systems does. That's why I say I think music is something we discover and not create. Even if you want the bragging rights to the refining process, then you get something that starts looking like the crooked stuff going on with other industries (big pharma for example.) Music is like medicine, and sure the doctor should be compensated. But in this case the doctor gets next to none of the money, and the metaphorical hospital only has electricity for 1 department.... Managment. In theory? I agree with copyright laws. I just disagree it works in practice. Too many cracks that give power to the wrong people. And thats just bad for everyone. It harbors more monopolistic behavior then creative ,which becomes economically bad for an industry that's main product is creativity and inspiration (which is essentially the act of 'copying' you're experience and make it your own. The 'music' we experience doesn't even come from the speakers it comes from within. How can you charge me for something I made? Just seems silly to me in the way there really is a better way to 'dance this dance' and 'slice the pie'. And if it's going to work? It has to be not based off illusions and hallucinations.

@@bajcar What I gave was the definition of copyright. The same thing applies to textual product. This is under the umbrella of intellectual property, not real property (in the sense of tangible things that one could own). Regarding the pharmaceutical industry, companies don't hold copyright in medicinal substances: they hold 'letters patent' - a clear 'letter' (as a 'to whom it may concern', setting out the details of the patented work, from a govetning party) in which the holder's right to take financial advantage of their work, be it an idea or a physical object such as a medicine for something. There is a difference: copyright extends beyond the death of the copyright holder, whereas the letters patent allow a finite period of time to exploit that work for profit, after which the patent must lapse and the requirement to buy licence to use the work disappears. If music is just 'discovered', then what is the point of bothering to compose music? Anybody could just 'discover' it. What about the hard work put into composition by those whose job is to compose? Because 'discovery' would mean the right of a composer to use that combination of notes as their own composition (and to earn money from having done that work!) disappears ... and being a composer becomes essentially voluntary work. Fuck that. The problem here is not copyright as a legal concept. The problem is that KZbin has failed to - prior to enabling monetisation - bring in a system that allows people like Rick here to make fair use of copyrighted material whilst protecting the right of copyright holders to profit from the work used. It is not impossible: Distrokid has managed to develop a system in which a cover version allows the artist to profit from that recording and the copyright holder to get the royalty due - and this lasts for about a year, which is plenty of time for both parties to profit from their work. Where I can kind-of agree is that the system is problematic. Publishers should not hold the copyright outright: the publishing agreement should be a renewable licence issued by the author/composer of a work to the publisher, who should act on behalf of the licensor (as a licensee) in providing printed/printable media containing the work and collecting royalties on the licensor's behalf (taking only a fee) rather than paying the author/composer a royalty and pocketing the fucking rest ... which is a fucking disgrace, as far as I'm concerned. The pharmaceutical industry is nowhere near as predatory as is the music industry. The music industry has been shafting authors/composers and artists since its earliest days. The pharmaceutical industry - which does not operate in a way undeserving of criticism - for its greater part tries to produce beneficial products whilst trying to make a profit. Publishers and labels are now feeling the effects of a democratisation of music and its technology. Studios are adapting, offering additional services such as online mix/master services. The publisher and labels are not. They have just become more predatory.

Booked their own tours, very often in their own venues. Made and sold their own merch. Made their own documentaries. And they did it all without a dime of record company money, virtually no radio airplay, no MTV, and with hysterical cops and and parent groups hell bent on shutting down every show. They also did it without digital recording and mass communication technology.

A few years ago I posted videos of my daughters high school soccer team (using another user/channel), and I would record during the time that the national anthem was being played. After I'd put a few up I started getting copyright notices from KZbin for someone claiming that they owned the copyright to the particular recording of the national anthem that was played in the video. Since I didn't really care about whether the national anthem was heard during the video I just hit the "Mute Song" button, because otherwise the claimant could pop ads up during my videos, which frankly I find incredibly annoying *AND* I didn't want the other team parents thinking I was making money off these high school soccer videos. (You can just imagine how *that* would go... :-) But - it gets better. I decided that I didn't like the "complete money grab", as you described it, Rick - so I changed my habits, and I changed to starting the videos after the national anthem was played. So - no national anthem in the video - but I *still* got copyright notices, complete with start and end times. To make sure I hadn't lost my mind I went to the videos in question and listened to them and verified that there was NO NATIONAL ANTHEM - just me making a bunch of stupid comments about a high school soccer game. So I clicked on the "I'm disputing this claim for another reason" and pointed out that not only did the national anthem not appear during the times claimed in the copyright notice, but that the national anthem DID NOT APPEAR IN THE VIDEO AT ALL. I'm happy to say that after this KZbin finally rejected the copyright claim, and I stopped having copyright claims filed against my vids. But it STILL gets better! When the dust had finally settled and the air had quickly cleared (and extra internet points will be awarded to the first person who can name the artist and song where that line came from :-) I checked with the people in the booth who PLAYED the national anthem tape - and they revealed that the version of the Star Spangled Banner which was played at every home game was recorded BY THE HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND! So *all* of these copyright claims were pure 100% BS!
