[@Monev360]

I have received a lot of copyright claims. A 1/3 of the videos on my channel are copyright claimed. It sucks because I'm actually creating content around the clips I use. It's not like I'm just re-uploading music videos.

[@birdedex]

I got a copyright claim on *my own music,* disputed the claim, and because KZbin gives all the power to the _alleged copyrights holder,_ it got rejected. Great system, love it!

[@DOSStorm]

That sucks. Did it strike because it was a melody used in another song or was it detected as the original song?

[@AmaranthineMask]

Thanks for including the playlist on the end screen! I just wish it also had a video about copyright regarding fonts/typefaces. I'm not surprised that most of the attention gets focused on music copyright because music is so important to making a video and the automated tools make it easier for copyright holders to find matches, but I wonder if it's only a matter of time before they've created automated systems to find copyrighted fonts used in videos as well :\

[@GrasslandsStudio]

Artist here! Got a copyright strike the other day since I had music in the background playing. It was copyright free music but apparently it’s only licensed for twitch livestreams and not KZbin. I got striked for “spam/deceptive practices” which REALLY sucks. I’ve decided to completely leave music out of everything now because I really want to monetize my art. Really really hoping my monetization isn’t affected by this down the line. It’s frustrating how something like this gets a strike and yet there are THOUSANDS of videos out there of full length movies, tv shows and cartoons that pass by without a problem. Seems SUPER unfair

[@TheCanadianGamingPenguin]

One of the issues with some of the "copyright claims" is that there are bot-sniffers that sniff out this data. At least when it comes to music. I can understand why, but to make a claim a human should have control of that, not a bot. Bots can flag. Humans can check, then claim. My church uploads the services on Sunday (the service is livestreamed on Facebook during the regular-church service time, and then uploaded to KZbin afterwards for those that couldn't watch it live), and A LOT of the hymns are public domain, a lot of the tunes are public domain; the music used when we were not able to meet falls under the license my church has for this content (with some hymns as exceptions, but none of those exceptions have been used); when we were still able to meet in person: the organist is live-playing the music. The videos would still get copyright claims within seconds of the upload being completed and/or processed (I can't remember which). The only way someone could possibly do that is if their sitting there staring at a screen waiting for a "copyright breach." Which leads me to believe that it's not a real person: it is a bot. Regardless of the copyright claims, my church has a license to use the content (as mentioned above). It's "hilarious" when the "copyright owner" tries to argue back and say that "they still feel like it's their content." It's also hilarious when they try to claim that a portion of the video is "violating copyright" when there's another portion earlier in the video (or later) that uses that same hymn. It's "hilarious" that they try to make a claim on a hymn that doesn't even go by the name they claim.... It's also "hilarious" that they're trying to claim public domain content in the first place. Also keep in mind: some of the hymns, tunes, etc. are over 200 years old.... [Side note: I know about these claims because my father is the Pastor, and is the one that is running the KZbin channel for the church, etc.]

[@beaconoflight777]

I agree, it happens in our church, few videos copyrighted, it was in a church service but it was copyrighted. I didn't remove the video. Well, it's their revenue even though it is for church service purposes only.

[@arnoldmmr]

It happens in our church too. The same scenario here as well and we use the Hymnal which are more than 200 years old. We are not running it for monetarization? I am not sure whether we have to worry about copyright claim or not

[@ehanayaanrocks]

1 question, will copyright claims EVER delete my yt channel? I'm okay with not getting money but I don't want my channel deleted (Not copyright strikes, copyright claims)

[@TheCanadianGamingPenguin]

@@ehanayaanrocks - From what I understand a copyright claim cannot take someones channel down, but it can result in a copyright strike, depending on the situation. If you google "What is a copyright claim? youtube" there'll be a link in the search results that goes to what youtube provides as an explanation. I don't think I can share links here without the comment being deleted, otherwise I'd share it here. lol

[@TheCanadianGamingPenguin]

@@arnoldmmr - It really depends. I suggested to my father to challenge the copyright claims, in the event that the "person"/company making the claim (whether they had an actual proper legal claim to it or not) decided that they wanted to slap an ad on that portion of the video, or some such that would interrupt the service. I'm not entirely sure if they could do that anymore, anyways. I do remember having a project for university where I put music (that was free to use for certain purposes, such as educational purposes) to the project (it was also PART of the project), and the portion that included the music ended up being copyright claimed, and they slapped an ad on the video. If I remember correctly anyways. lol That was... five? years ago now. It's been a while anyways. lol

I feel like deleting the offending video shouldn't be held against you, especially if the whole reason you deleted it was to go back and solve the issue of why it got struck in the first place. That's like punishing me spilling milk on the table even though I took accountability for it and cleaned the mess and the chairs, just to be on my folks' good side.

[@SparksXtra]

I agree. If a punishment would happen, it should be a very small one then. Instead of a copyright strike if you delete the offending video.

[@GodOfGaming22]

Great video! But what if the "copyright owner" doesn't have a copyright for the material that they're claiming? Is it safe to dispute if the "copyrighted" video is in public domain? TMZ recently copyright claimed a part of my video of the Johnny Depp trial where Kate Moss is giving her testimony. They have absolutely no exclusive rights to any of the trial video but KZbin has decided that that section belongs to them because they also have a video with Kate Moss giving her testimony. I'm not monetized but I don't want TMZ placing ads and earning revenue from content that they don't own. Is it worth it to dispute a claim? The risk seems pretty high. I doubt KZbin is going to actually verify if TMZ owns the copyright and are probably just going to allow TMZ to remove my video and issue a strike.

[@Michael_black777]

that's why I only use youtube audio library for background music. don't trust those channels that says free music.

[@bigfellavideography]

I've received copyright claims on MUCH older videos on my other channel, but that's because I never wanted to monetise those videos, no matter how well they did, and right now I still can't monetise them cos I'm not in the YPP yet. Those videos did well in the early days but now no one watches them at all. Fun fact: even if you have *EXPRESS PERMISSION* from the copyright holder to use music in a video, there's no guarantee that the video won't have a claim against it due to the "sophisticated" content ID system. I've been down this path before, I know where it leads.

[@GabrielleSWalker]

This was very helpful. Thank you!

@@GagaTheArcher the videos are fine, they're still on the channel but ineligible for earnings if I'm in the YPP. youtube's way of identifying older audio content on all my previous vids, frankly, should be exempt from their audio recognition system. if it gets through the first time, then I don't believe anyone should be retroactively punished henceforth.

Interesting- thank you. I have this channel that I make trash edits on for fun- idc if they get copyright claimed. It’s all for fun in the end.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Rob, I have recently applied and was accepted into the KZbin partnership program even though I have copyright claims on most of my videos. I initially used free music from the Clipchamp editing program. Since then I have been editing on DaVinci Resolve. I have still used the same music as my theme song and background music for over 100 videos. Even though it said copyright on my channel it also said that the owner allowed it to be used. I am now learning that the rights owner of my music is now monetizing and also because I am not using Clipchamp anymore I don’t have the rights to the music either. I am in the process of trimming and muting all of my videos which has been a tedious process. As a new KZbinr I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t understand the details of how this works. Thanks so much for this video. I am sad that I have to change my theme music for my channel. 😥

[@mervynp8714]

Thank you very much for these helpful pieces of information. My question is Would a copyright claim now possibly become a strike later? Because as you said, the copyright claim is a fully automated process so it will often happen before the original owner requests a strike, won't it?

[@naukadladzieci]

the video doesn't cover case: "Video cannot be monetised. The Content ID claim on your video doesn't affect your channel." When I have the license but have to wait a few days for acceptance, will I get the revenue back for the crucial viral period or will YT it not display any ads?

[@basicallysoupmusic1233]

I need some help. In my HeadSpace song The music I made I used sounds from a pack from bandlab and it's been copyright claimed by Lullaby Salmaan who does have the same sounds but it's not exactly the same as his song. How does that work? If we use the same sounds from a free pack we can make from scratch is it really copyright if it's just a little bit similar for a few seconds

Is there no acceptable way to use part of a copyright claimed song over your original content video? If the notice says it doesn't affect your channel and it says "owner allows use on KZbin " does it still affect your ability to get approved for monetization on the rest of your channel? (Assuming you don't care about monetization for that particular video). Sometimes there is a song that perfectly fits the narrative in the content and you don't mind giving up the few bucks you might make.

[@mikeKidLazy]

This is very informative but my question is: ok, so if I have received a copyright strike and I don't dispute it, the strike should automatically expire after 90 days if I "don't do anything bad". But after the 90-day period has passed and the strike has expired, if by any chance I get another copyright strike later on, will the previously expired strike still count? Otherwise put, is a KZbin channel terminated if it gets 3 copyright strikes during 90 days, OR if it has got a total of 3 copyright strikes throughout its entire life (whether those strikes are currently active or not)?

Thanks! Lots of great info! I have a couple questions. 1. How are there literally hundreds of thousands of KZbin videos with famous, copyrighted songs uploaded? They are all just copyright claims and they get no ad revenue? 2. If I get a copyright strike on ONE of my channels, does it, or can it, cause a DIFFERENT channel I have on the same account to be demonetized? 3. If a single video cannot be monetized due to copyright claim, can other videos on the same channel still earn me money? Thanks!

[@MIZZKIE]

8:03 I've been doing research on how copyright violation works on KZbin, but this is the first time I've heard this 50 claims rule, and now I'm confused. So if I create 50 videos that have copyright claims on them (ex: anime videos), I get a strike, right? That part is totally understandable, but my real question is that if I wait for 90 days for the strike to expire, can I continue on making 50 more copyright claimed videos, wait 90 more days for the strike to expire, and repeat the process? If this 50 claims rule is automatic, then it means a bot made the strike instead of the actual copyright holders, so that means the copyright holders don't know that I even got a strike?

Love this video for its in depth explanation. Thank you! 🥰 Can you also make a video discussing copyright claims on KZbin shorts?

[@sn7miller]

We see so many videos using parts of TV or other large media recorded piece, with watermarks and text and yet they are able to keep them. Given that they didn't get permission, is doing a certain amount of edits enough to remove risks of copyright claims... If so, what is required related to editing existing video so you do not get a copyright claim or a strike?

[@Raizmorph]

I'd like to ask for advice. You see my channel is gaming, and i have one video that has a copyrights claim. In a certain game there is a character that has a voice line. And there is a creator here on KZbin who used the first 20 or so seconds of that voice line in their music video. The voice line isn't very long. However i have received a copyrights claim because of that. So my question now is what should i do? Do i just silence the audio in that particaular part of my video OR do i go ahead and dispute (and under what does this particular situation fall to? Is it Original content, License, Fair use or Public domain)?

[@DwayneHamiltonArtist]

Thank you for this it help a lot

[@TheSillyFoX06]

This helps me a lot with copyright claims, thank you! But, I have a question. What if we’ve already credited the producer of the audio recording in the description of our video, yet we still get copyright claimed? Is that a glitch? Does it affect it further or something? Will the producer still press charges, even if they see that it’s already credited? I’m confused 😅 And a bit worried

[@dariusblv]

when u go to youtube studio and try to dispute a copyright claim it says that its not valid to say u gave credits to the owner. i got cpyright claimed on my song only for the fact that i used the same sound sample that anyone can use

Thank you for this content! I am a bit confused, so your channel may be shut down if you get 3 strikes in 90 days. My channel lifetime's got 3 strikes? What happen when a strike expired? It will go away and I get a fresh start?

[@MsALW77]

Strikes expire after 90 days. If one or both of the two strikes you had expire before the 3rd then your channel will be fine. If not, they terminate.

It says In the channel membership and the monetization requirements that you can’t have a significant amount of ineligible videos... which are what copyright claims do... but do you know how many videos can’t be ineligible??

[@lewisplaiz23]

thanks, i panicked the moment i saw the words "copyright claim" under one of my videos and this video helped me to understand why those words appeared, thanks man

[@Janice-d-witnessing]

Thank you, this is helpful. I'm still wondering if once a strike expires, the creator can apply for monetization. On my channel I point out the flaws and false teachings of a particular group, and they decided to put a strike on one of my videos. It was just my commentary on one of their videos on their own website, not YT, and I included screen shots. Not even actual video footage. So, it's well within fair use. But YT doesn't seem to provide any kind of mediation to allow this dispute to be resolved. I also think the person who launched the claim probably did it to try and get my personal information, which YT can send to them if I decide to dispute it.

i am a small channel. mostly family videos formed my channel. i started uploading re-edited 80's music vids and such, then got copyrighted. eventually, they were unblocked, but this year i made a passion project for the Film The Warriors 1979. i edited clips with voice overs to explain parts of the movie. It got Copyrighted. then they lifted it, then they reblocked and threatened to strike me. i argued fair use and cited 50 Other videos on the film but to no avail. i have three days left to delete it. I know i didn't make the movie and have no rights to it, but im unmonitized, and it's just a tribute video of sorts. its 46 minutes long. What Should i have done to keep my video up?

There should be no automatic claims at all. Looking at the list of possible copyright infringing videos, most of them are probably not doing anything wrong as far as I now. Probably all of them. If you were an evil guy, you could claim Leonhart's video because he was talking to you and has your logo in the livestream. KZbin considers that a 100% violation for some reason. I can't find that livestream on your channel, so I don't get how that's considered a 100% copyright violation. We all know that video is fine, but if you had automated claims going on, you'd have falsely claimed him and many other videos too. Do you know what the false claim rate is? Based on that list, it must be pretty high. The benefit of the doubt is definitely not on the KZbinrs' side.

[@heartsfor_me2]

I was very confused when I got a copyright claim, because that video had an audio that is very popular and a lot of people use. This has happened a lot of times, and I was scared so I deleted the video. (I'm not professional in any way and I just upload edits) but when I got one this time, I decided to look into it. I got a lot of different information, but I didn't know which one to believe. So, can I keep my copyright claimed video up and my channel will be perfectly fine?

[@BabyYeno]

Claims don't negatively affect you unless you have 50 or more. (For every 50 claims, 1 strike is issued). And check to make sure you're using copyright free music.

[@Fujoshia]

a question: does a copyright strike/claim can hurt another channels of the same users? let's say a user have 2 channels, now he opened a 3rd channel, hire freelancers to make videos and the video editor use other video footages without the owner knowing that... then after sometime get a copyright claim/strike... is that going to hurt this specific channel or the other channels as well?

I kinda wanna upload gameplay videos for games, that usually get copyright claimed, without monetizing them though. Will the rights holder just take your video anyway (once you do get a claim) so they can monetize it on their own end? Please don’t tell me that’s how it works…

I remember getting a copyright strike on a video. That video got blocked WORLDWIDE (196 countries if I remember correctly). I took down the video. It was caused by many copyrighted musics. It was catchy, however. The copyright strike expired, if you're wondering. Fun fact: That video would have gotten 200 views if it wasn't copyrighted.
