So I've learned that TikTok allows copyrighted music to be played in videos, and just gives a cut of the revenue to the label. Why don't more social media have this arrangement?
YouTube not allowing copyrighted music is insane to me. Just give the label a large fraction of the revenue from the watch time during the time that their music was playing. How hard can it be to negotiate this arrangement?
- the-dude 5y agoHow is YT not allowing copyrighted music? AFAIK, it is.
- Spivak 5y agoIt's up to the copyright owner if they want to take down or monetize the videos that have their IP in it.
- rchaud 5y agoThere are ways to get around YT's automatic strikes. There are numerous 'music reaction' channels where listeners play the music video in a small PIP window, and maybe shift the pitch a tad so it's not 100% identical to the original audio. This approach lets them play back the whole song + music video. Some rights holders are especially aggressive, and proactively search for infringing material, so this method isn't foolproof; if they manually flag it, the audio will be stripped from the video. But for the cases where the rights holders are happy to use automatic strikes, the workaround still works.
