First, Lets talk about YouTube Copyright and YouTube Copyright Music on Youtube.
Artists who write songs and perform music and the companies they work with own the copyright to their songs. That means they have the legal right to control how other people use their music on YouTube or outside the YouTube.
Copyright Law is not specific to YouTube but it requires sites like YouTube to process copyright removal requests, so it’s important to keep in mind about YouTube Copyright while creating content.
Remember: Videos uploaded to Youtube get scanned against a database of audio and visual content that’s been submitted to YouTube by certain Copyright Owners.
So, if you upload content that contains copyright protected Music. Your content receive a Content-ID Claim which means it could be blocked or made ineligible for YouTube monetization program,
or, it could receive a Copyright Strike which means it could be take down completely.
Note that YouTube Shorts operate a bit differently. They ‘ve been set up to allow creators the freedom to use music when added via YouTube Shorts Music Library or Shorts Audio Library.
But keep in mind, if you choose to use a song in your YouTube shorts from outside the Shorts audio library, You may receive a Content ID claim or be subjected to a takedown request.
There are also some common misconceptions about Copyright and how it works on YouTube. So here are some things to keep in mind to help prevent your content from Copyright removal requests or Content ID Claims.
First giving Credit to the Copyright Owner or using phrase and disclaimers such as “All rights go to the author,” “I do not own,” or “No infringement intended” does not give you the rights to use the copyright protected work.
You need to make sure you’ve secured al; the necessary rights to all copyright elements in your video before you upload it to Youtube.
Just because you recorded something by yourself doesn’t mean you own all rights to upload it to YouTube. If your video includes’ someone else’s Copyright-Protected Content such as Copyright Music Playing in the background or even singing, humming or playing some of a song on an instrument. You could still be subject to potential Copyright Claims and Takedowns.
There is no minimum amount of time you’re allowed to use someone else’s copyrighted work
If you’re using any amount of content that you don’t own or don’t have permission to use, even a few seconds you’re taking a risk of receiving a Copyright Claim or Copyright Takedown.
Even there are videos on the site that appear similar to what you’ve uploaded that doesn’t necessarily mean you also have the rights to post the content. Sometimes, a Copyright Owner authorizes some uses or works but not all to appear on YouTube.
If you believe your use of the content qualifies for a copyright exception such as fair use of fair dealing, Keep in mind only courts can ultimately that determination.
You may want to consult with an attorney before relaying on a Copyright exception.
