How long it takes?

[@xjet]

The problem is that (in my experience) if a video has material that is falsely claimed under the content-ID system the algorithm discriminates against it so it will never perform well. Even once the claim is relelased, the video will never get the normal number of views so it can be a huge amount of wasted work when you're a full-time KZbinr. What's even worse is that sometimes, in the case of bogus claims, the claimant doesn't actually release the video but simply fails to respond and that means it takes the full 30 days before the claim to be removed -- meaning that whatever revenue that vid might have earned won't be paid out for an extra month. I license *all* the music I use in my videos but I'm still regularly penalized by YT's flawed content-ID system or by bogus claims. Why can't creators with a proven track-record of not abusing copyright be given a little more weight than some no-name who's chancing their luck by filing a bogus copyright claim in the hope it won't be disputed?

[@AkemaEditz]

today, I got a copyright strike from "sony music company Japan" but the problem there is I didn't even use a sound they made or anything they own? The only song I used was Let The World Burn By Chris Grey. What do you think I should do here?

[@xjet]

@@AkemaEditz I now have a video that has been claimed by no less than eight different parties -- for the *same* piece of music which isn't actually owned by any of them. Every now and then I get another email as someone else claims the track. In this case I don't care and I just wonder how multiple claims for the same track can even be considered to be legit.

[@AkemaEditz]

​@@xjet Damn, you should really sue them. That isn't legal

[@CurtisBland]

I would very much appreciate seeing a video going down the path of Dispute. Knowing the process form a creator as yourself would give us much more confidence that we are doing things right. Possibly include in that video the branches of situations that could occur? That would be INCREDIBLY VALUABLE just as this video was. The topic of helping us creators dig ourselves out of the hole is talked about, but no one goes into the details or the process.

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

I've had a number of copyright claims from music companies on a number of my beginner guitar tutorials. They claim that I've used a melody from some such song. I know I haven't. So I check the part that they're claiming and as usual it's part of a chord progression, there is no meleody or tune to speak of. So I end up writing why they can't claim it. And usually what happens is the owners have 30 days to dispute my claim but the never do. Then I get an email saying there is no copyright claim any more. In fact, my latest upload has a copyright claim and as of today they have 18 days left to respond to my claim. I've had a few claims like that recently and won them. I have other tutorials with a copyright claim that I don't dispute because I am teaching a song and that's fair enough.

[@Akhlad]

If I use your videos clips in my channel, do you give me a copyright ? Just asking 😅

[@bongkosolbadminton]

Same question 😅

[@DetlefRecktenwald-Healing]

If a creator is adding a NOTE LIKE "DO NOT COPY WITHOUT CONSENT IN WRITING" I would not just use it, I would ask for permission in writing. Think about it.! Spend the money to get everything you need to go in production, spend many hours, days, weeks, see yourself , your work done, Now ask yourself, Who Are You?

[@alexparkerTHINK]

It's all about transformation! If you simply straight rip the content from the channel then that is not allowed. But if you compile information, comment, or review it then you can post pretty much anything.

[@DetlefRecktenwald-Healing]

@Oopsie_kpop Click on copyright , next click on review issues, follow the information as it tells you the copyright claim . Tip, before someone else is uploading on your channel, watch the entire video, make sure it is ok, as you the owner is responsible. Read on KZbin about what we can show and say and what we cannot. read about copywriter

[@alexparkerTHINK]

@Oopsie_kpop Yea live videos can be copyright claimed if you use other content that isn't yours and the owner doesn't approve. If it is a strike you have to wait 90 days and the video will likely be taken down. If it is a claim, you can take down the video yourself or trim out the section they claimed in the YT editor.

You made no sense in my case. I tried to upload a song from the 1950s and it was blocked. The singer died decades ago. Why was it blocked?

[@chriscoughlan5221]

Where do i start? i´ll try to keep it brief!! i copy+pasted a video from youtube recently, and edited it to be uploaded as a youtube short! i thought no Problem. About 1 hour later, i was told it has copyright material in it. So i clicked on the details, to be told that between 0.35-0.51 has copyright material, so i naturally thought that if i edit out this chunk then the video will be copyright free!!! Then this morning again another copyright issue, this time they said between 9secs -35 secs it was copyrighted, so again i edited that chunk out, and thought that will be the end of that!!! then today, i have been told that my video has been totally removed!!!!??? i am stunned!!! Does this mean that videos with copyright material cant be edited??

[@wildwoodtop]

I strongly feel KZbin should contact creators when they've uploaded copyright material giving fair warning a window of opportunity to take down the video before getting a copyright strike

[@NoplanetB16667]

I just don't understand this! They upload their music to royalty-free platforms, then register it with KZbin’s Content ID system, and when you use it, you get copyright claims?! This is so frustrating! 😡 If you’ve already registered your music with KZbin ID, why would you put it on royalty-free platforms in the first place?!!!!

[@FreelancingwithFaith]

Thanks for sharing. I realized there are other options to do with it. We're still a little confused about songs though. Why covers are allowed and then those who do the covers claims a copyright from their cover while the original owner doesn't.

[@CineSoar]

Cover songs are not "allowed" (not sure why he says that, in the video). If you want to cover someone's song, and not run up against copyright restrictions, you have to contact the copyright holder, get permission, pay royalties, etc..

Helpful, thank you

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

There's an inequity in how creators are treated when there's an alleged copyright violation. I just made a Scriabin video that got flagged for supposed copyright issues, when the music I played is public domain. It should be on the accuser to prove violation, not on the content creator. Also, the content creator's video shouldn't be automatically demonetized for up to 30 days while the accuser decides how to respond. Also, if content creator channels can be deleted for "fraudulent disputes" (as KZbin threatens when allowing the dispute), the accuser should be punished for fraudulent accusations of copyright violations. No? Of course I'm not monetized anyway so it doesn't really matter at this point, but it's the PRINCIPLE of the thing, lol. I just made a video that got flagged for supposed copyright issues, when the music I played is 100% in the public domain as the composer (Scriabin) is long dead. I'm disputing , of course.

[@chrisluckhardt]

Hard disagree! I’ve been fighting rampant copyright theft from my Instagram and KZbin channels recently and the automated and manual reporting process is fantastic. The onus for using media that isn’t copyrighted should 100% be the creator’s responsibility. The current system is one of the few things IG/Meta and KZbin/Google do very well.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

@@chrisluckhardt Interesting to have a view from the other side of the issue--thanks. I suspect we don't disagree on everything, though! Producers should not be claiming copyright for works they obviously don't have rights over, like works of composers who have been dead for over a century. If they do so repeatedly they should face some consequence. This is a common issue in the classical music world [edit: search "TwoSet copyright" for a more high-profile example]. These accusers they don't seem to get any penalty for their obviously false copyright claims. Instead, the creator needs to file a dispute, get threatened to have the channel deleted if some unnamed person deems the dispute "fraudulent", and then deal with up to 30 days' wait (and demonetization on the video) for the accuser to "review". Now, I'm sure you're cool and not making specious copyright claims all over the place. And I'm sure there's no "perfect" solution. But there needs to be some means to keep bad actors honest.

[@chrisluckhardt]

​@@MarcPlaysPiano That'a all fair and thanks for the insight - I don't have first-hand experience with classical music or public domain copyright issues. A penalty for too many false copyright claims would be a good step toward fairness. I don't want people or businesses generating revenue off my content without a license, equitable agreement, or both. I was recently featured on Inside Edition, NY Post, and other media outlets for filming an abandoned McDonald's on a remote Alaska island. It's been a major time investment dealing with all the copyright thefts across all social platforms! But I let a few slide because they were for educational purposes and Fair Use applied.

Cool, and yeah, that sounds like a pain to sort through all that. Good luck with your future videos!! 👊

What I want to know is what to do when you dispute a fraudulent claim on your video and they don't remove the claim when you dispute it. It's your original audio, or someone claims copyright on something that is public domain. Have had this happen in both instances.

[@dandtintennessee7675]

I recently got a copyright claim using an original song I recorded myself to use in my video. The song it claims I borrowed a melody from is from some publishing company I've not heard of and I was never able to find the song anywhere. Makes me wonder if there may be something fishy going on. I Contested it and as of yet have not gotten any feedback. Will see. I've used the song in other videos with no issue and also given it to a other much much larger channel to use in their videos as needed and they've not gotten a claim. Weird stuff. By the way, I have a whole play list of simple stuff I've recorded that anyone is welcome to use.

I have a KZbin AI Remix Channel that was completely taken down. The audio in these videos is my own creation. I made all the instrumentals and vocal elements using my voice, which was processed through an AI vocal converter to sound like popular artists such as Britney Spears or Michael Jackson. They do not contain any elements of the original recordings whatsoever (I purposely made a point to do this to avoid any issues). These are my creations, even though some of them are covers of songs. KZbin won't even let me submit a dispute because when I provide the URL in the dispute email, it won't let me submit it because it says the channel URL is not valid. (Yes, because you took it down).
