Why does Youtube give copyright infringements? Look, these artists WANT their music to be popular. I get the infringement for using music that a site provided me. What the hell was that for? I see if it's a jackass who just wants to claim that he/she sang it, but have you seen those GREAT videos that get a copyright infringement for having good music in the background and end up not hearing the video OR the music. If you use music, won't you make the artist more popular through sharing it with your audience? Youtube is one of my most respected sites, but COME. ON. These infringements have no meaning unless the artist himself gives Youtube the request to give it, and they should at that point have a list of songs/artists that have been requested to not be used. Give your thoughts in your replies below.
-Warner Music Group is the one making Youtube give all these copyright infringements -They can't read the description of and watch every video that has a copyrighted song in it
I hate WMG. They've wasted countless hours of my time on videos I've perfectly snced music to. Sure, you can pick one of their "approved" songs, but they're terrible and don't fit in well.
They allow you if you've bought it from iTunes or something. Obviously, as long as you're not abusing it..
Because it's the law, and they are acting on the requests of record companies exercising their own right to control the use of material they hold copyright for. Whether you or I agree with their business strategy or not is an entirely seperate matter. YouTube themselves are nothing to do with this, other than actually making sure that they survive as a website by avoiding massive lawsuits that would follow if they didn't deal with reported copyright infringements.
Put that sentence about the 1976 copyright act not only in your video description, but try the actual video and maybe an annotation at the beginning.
They should just have a form you have to fill out with the video that quick comes up at the beginning for you and tells you the songs used and ****. I think they even have that... because a little bar comes up sometimes and says the name of the song. If they DO have that, then you shouldn't complain. Give credit to those who "helped" make your video.
Nope, they still don't allow it.. even if you've bought it.. It makes sense to have copyrights in the way that it helps artists get money, but then it doesn't make sense when people on youtube just want to use half the song on a short 1 minute clip. I can see how the ENTIRE clip might be banned or something, but I don't see how even 3/4 the clip could be banned.. Meh, what could we do about it anyways?
I would like to share some quite interesting information. Link Pretty much what all this means is that they are now unable to: Mute, remove, or flag our videos that have music licensed by them!
In idiot terms for me, that means they can NO LONGER REMOVE SONGS?!?!?!?!?! FUCCCCCCCKKK YEAH. I hated it when youtube did that to my videos, and then i would have to replace them with 009 sound system, the only decent artist on music swap...
Uh, sorry to burst yo' bubble, but after I read Agamer's post I uploaded my video that keeps getting muted. They muted it. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Hopefully you realize that the passage that I posted only applies to the WMG, not the UMG or any other music company.
