I made a video using YouTube's own Audio tracks thing and put a classical piano tuner from its library. It still got a copy right claim and someone makes money every view.
How? The track is from YouTube. It was written more than two hundred years ago. In any case, a claim against YouTube's own tracks should be auto rejected and the violater banned. Instead...
Why?
- PeterisP 7y agoPerformance copyright applies to classical music as much as for everything else. You're free to play, record and distribute copies of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 as the copyright to the composition has expired, but you're not free to redistribute recordings of someone else performing Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 without the explicit permission from the author(s) of that performance.
- mcny 7y agoSorry but that makes no sense to me. I didn't upload a video with a sound track. I added the sound track with YouTube's tool. The track I used is from YouTube's library. YouTube knows it because I used it. There should be no confusion about who the performer is and nobody should be able to claim the video.

- thrownblown 7y agohave you rebutted the claim? and if so what was the response? also we have a whole other thread on the HN front page about this RN
- pjc50 7y agoThe realpolitik answer is that this is where the barbed wire ended up in the war between copyright holders and internet companies. It's a situation that satisfies nobody, but both sides get to continue making money. Justice has very little to do with it.
