    Important update: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6364458?hl=en
    The Music Policy Directory will be going away with Creator Studio Classic.

    As you've probably heard, we’re in the process of moving over to the new and improved Studio. As a result, we're focused on migrating and building features where we see healthy usage with impact on creators’ goals.

    This one unfortunately didn’t make the cut. We introduced this Music Policies tool years ago to help creators proactively avoid copyright issues with music in their video. But it’s seen low usage and would need substantial work to be migrated and improved. Moreover, we’ve found that creators are addressing this need by uploading their videos as private or unlisted in order to spot any issues before publishing videos, which we plan to build a better experience around in the new Studio.

    As always, if you need free and safe music and sound effects for your videos, check out our Audio Library. We add new music every month!

      So if say, we dont care about monetizing a video, and just want to post a video for fun, it is ok to use a copyright song that says it will be unillegible for monetization?

      It’s easy. You might be able to use the copyrighted music in your video IF: you check the TH-cam song policies data base AND it says the song is able to be used without monetization. Some songs are alright and some will just get muted instantly.

  • @SEANTSEANT
    @SEANTSEANT 5 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    this is important for youtubers to know: if you see "free" next to an instrumental on youtube, it just means its free for non-profit. if you use that song, your video will more than likely get a content ID claim from the producer still. I suggest just reaching out before hand to producers and ask for them if they would release the claim (or whitelist your channel from the songs) in exchange for a shout out. or you can just buy a lease and use the song forever in your videos! :)

    When i started youtube, i got many copyright music claims. But im still here, so i’ll try to explain
    Using copyrighted music cant affect your channel like deleting your channel or deleting a video, it just doesnt let you get monetized for that one video and the video can be blocked in some territories
    Just try giving credit to the owner in the desc by giving a link to the song and telling them who the artist is and what its called.

    I hate how TH-cam protects huge companies before their own creators. Instead of giving all the money to the company who owns the song, show clip, movie snippet, etc., share the revenue. It should be changed to this: 50% video image, 50% sound. If you use music for example throughout an entire 10 minute video, 50% of the profit should go to you while the other 50% goes to the music label. If say you used a song for 5 minutes of the 10 minute video, then you get 50%+25%, and the music label only gets the 25% from half the video's audio. This would be a lot more fair to the creators on TH-cam and it would open up for a lot more fun when it comes to making content.
    Those dancers who dance to popular songs on TH-cam could finally make at least 50% of the profit from their own videos rather than leaving all that money on the table for some music company to take. Just a thought

    Thank you for this post. I do have a few questions from it.
    1. If you use a copyrighted song in your video and there are advertisements in your video. How are the royalties shared between the artist of the song and the artist of the video content?
    2. If I am a songwriter/composer, how can I use my content safely in my videos without having my video striked or taken down?
    Thank you for your post. I hope to hear back in your responses.

    I just do not understand why using copyrighted music on TH-cam videos is such a bad thing! It is not harm anyone and it is not inappropriate! If this stupid law does not fall within the next fews years, we will all be banned from singing our favorite songs and listening to our favorite music in our communities, not just on TH-cam! Some episodes of Drake and Josh are unavailable to stream online. This is why I do not trust these present day entertainment companies!

      Because if the channel is monetized then the copyright owner needs to be paid also so royalties can be paid properly to the song writers and musicians and even heirs or who may inherited rights to those royalties if the music writer or even person who wrote the lyrics passed away. Its not just about giving the musician credit if your making money from it.

    What about when your walking in Public and some bar is playing music so loud. That you pick it up while your recording say a travel video? And/or/also what if your doing a food video in a restaurant. Recording what you eat and music is played thru the restaurant? I can not tell the restaurant or bar to turn off the music. Or someone rides by on a bike or car. Playing loud music? That you do not want to hear in the first place? I was filming some Police helping a homeless man right next to a bar. The bar had popular music blasting to the point that all you can basically hear. The Press is protected under the Constution. Which filming in public would be Constitutionally Protected.

    According to Copyright Law we are a small business in a less than 2,000 square feet (hence my office space is my business space). If you have a radio in the back ground you are allowed to have it. You cannot use a CD/streaming music. You could fight every claim and technically win, or take them to court and sue. If your work space is more than 2k you can have up to 6 speakers in your work space, this is fair use with a radio station btw not picking your music.
    Source: Google "radio business and law"
    I'm guessing YT don't care about this law, I want to try it but i don't want to lose my channel over them not following the law. Im thinking of making a burner account to test it.

      It’s the same reason Costco is allowed to stop you AFTER you’ve already paid and check your receipt. You signed a contract to follow the rules when you purchased membership. If a non-membership store forced you to stop against your will they would be breaking the law and you could sue.

What I'm really saying is if they want people to Buy and Artist Music etc.. Why not letting a Content Creator use it. It's might Boot their Revenue big time. Also Pretty Soon I think if this Copyright thing continue to Expand like it is.
