YouTube is in a very difficult spot, but you can't help but shake your head when you submit a home video using only a music clip that they offer within their free-use audio library here:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
...and you still get automatically flagged for a music copyright violation, which has happened to me multiple times. Granted in both cases one counterclaim submission (mentioning that I got the music from their free library in the first place) was sufficient for them to stfu about it, but the fact that this happens in the first place is a powerful example of how broken the system is.
- codezero 12y agoYeah, that's a pretty ridiculous situation.
- Aldo_MX 12y agoI got once a copyright claim on behalf of Antonio Vivaldi, at first I was like "WHAT??? You can't be serious, who the •••• owns Vivaldi's copyright?!?!?!" But the record label that issued the claim answered promptly to my counterclaim and the video was restored in 24 hours. My supposition is that record labels upload thousands of songs to the Content ID system without checking them first, and they correct the copyright status of songs with the counterclaims they receive.
