Psst, you should research how “steganography” works. When the RIAA tried to kill youtube-dl (until a few days ago was restored), people have found ways to distribute the software similar to the DECSS, by disguise them into different files. You can do that as a method of preserving your videos on 3rd party platforms to steer clear from the copyright holder's faulty algorithm (it isn't content ID, it is either an organization who monitors for pirated content to notify the copyright holders).
In the meantime, can you make a video about DRM and section 1201? This is the other problem with the DMCA, relating to technological restrictions.
As a channel who’s been posted a lot of copyrighted content for years now, I guess I’ll pitch in and tell what I have learned:
I’ve never been a fan of royalty-free music (hate it, in fact), so I’ve found some good alternative sources for copyright-free music: -Video game soundtracks (almost always claim free, rare exceptions) -Mixtapes (Most times claim free, if it’s not on Spotify, that’s a good sign) -Bootlegs/unreleased demos (most times copyright free, good luck finding them though) -Remixes/covers/fan recreations/instrumentals (Sometimes works, risky, works better for songs that aren’t super well known) -some songs slowed down actually sound better (especially if it’s a genre like Drill and Bass) -Some ‘self-released’ music isn’t copyrighted on YouTube (such as music by Lil Ugly Mane) -Live versions of songs (Sometimes works if the live performance you use isn’t very well known, Peel sessions are also great for this)
Generally, if a song posted on youtube is copyrighted, you can look at the bottom of the video description and you will often see a song listed (this doesn’t apply if you’re on an [Artist - Topic] channel, when a song gets copyrighted on YouTube, those videos are automatically uploaded)
Now, as I am a channel that deals in sports content, that’s an area I’ll also cover:
NFL - at least 15-20 seconds and your video will be claimed within a week, if not, right away MLB/NBA/NHL - In my experience, if it’s not claimed right away it most likely won’t get claimed at all (be careful with NBA though, channels that post full highlights of games have been known to get terminated) College Football - At least 10 seconds and you’re claimed within 24 hours, case sensitive though, as multiple different companies own the broadcast rights to college football, so sometimes you may never get claimed. International sports (such as Soccer and Olympics) - Extremely case sensitive, don’t know much about this field as I do not post it often. Sports shows (such as Sports Center) - If you post full top 10 countdowns, your channel can get terminated (RIP Mespin & TheMagicMan), but if you include a short bit of a countdown, your video will most likely not get claimed.
You almost never receive full-on copyright strikes for uploading sports broadcast clips. Unless, of course, you upload the full broadcasts.
Still, for some of these, I heard people get their ''vaporwave'' claimed, because some of the obscure sourced songs have copyright or they are already parodying another song. tricky subject.
There's a lot of really good epic and intense royalty free music, but it is impossible to find anything in any other genres (unless its literally classical and in the public domain) that's good.
A few royalty free tracks I really like (and actually listen to at times):
Eternity and On the Cool Side by Kevin McLeod (both are used by Andy Hoops very well).
Joker (type in Joker Copyright free music and you’ll see a video with a sailboat thumbnail, used by Jonny Arnett for if the MVP went to the best player in the 2000’s for instance).
As well as
Golden Hour, Menories with You, In My Clouds, By the Pool, Good Morning, Overjoyed, Chill Day, and Saturdays (all by Lakey Inspired and all but the latter have been used by Rusty Buckets).
Royalty Free music can be bland, but it also can provide a great compliment.
I used the content ID system to identify a song for a buddy. Couldn't find it on shazam, so uploaded the audio to youtube and within an hour got claimed.
@reddor Okay, so lemme get this straight. In an era where no one pays for music, there were people willing to pay for a stolen bootleg of a song by an indie artist? That's weird as hell.
I think the strangest part is, some songs will get you a copyright strike instantly (within 24 hours), while others slide off the hook almost completely. That's what I don't seem to get about YouTube's copyright system.
I tried uploading a cut version of never gonan give you up, it got claimed literally as soon as it was uploaded, then i put a vintage filter and some text over it and suddenly its fine
benefiting from a company trying to benefit from a company that tries to benefit from you in other words benefiting from YouTube that benefits from a music company that tries to benefit from you but you’re benefiting from youtube at the same time so it’s like win/win/win
This is fucking hilarious even if it’s just a story you made up to look cool to emp And I can’t blame you. We all want emp to think we’re cool …Hey emp
I had negotiated commercial music usage with some musician in the past, years later all the videos we used his music in were claimed by a record company he signed with years later. Apparently they completely disregarded my agreement with the musician AND the artist himself never responded to us after that.
@Andrew Smith Good luck suing a record company. As shitty as it is- there isn't anything we can do. As Emp said before in this video; it is out of the scope for most, if not all, content creators to sue over a fraudulent claim. Assuming your wallet hasn't been drained from the initial cost of a lawyer, alongside court/travel, the company can afford to keep postponing the trial. Lawyers will make you pay for the extra time.
Just to add to how hard it is to not have music copyright claimed, I've had MY OWN PERFORMANCES of public domain classical music copyright claimed before
Wikipedia links to a source that says that isn't true though. So I assume it's pretentious bullshit. Like when QI says things that are blatantly untrue in an attempt to sound smart and obscure, but actually just undermines its own concept.
When people in an environment as public as the internet are finding ways to "smuggle" content into their videos, while the platform they are uploading to itself is trying to stop that, it's a clear sign that the current copyright system no longer works and needs to be thought over.
Wow, Copyright Deadlock is the coolest and most petty thing. I love the idea of cramming in so many copyrighted content so nobody gets the money. I'm now going to do this in all my videos, I was never planning to make a profit off them anyways, I just want them to be watched. :D thanks Emp
"so i owe royalties to the rap group?" LMAOing at the implication that any aspect of copyright law or yt's claim system benefits the actual artists of any of these works. it's the faceless labels and monolithic corporations who seize ownership of their art that are causing all this exhausting bullshit (i mean, literally, they're the ones with the resources to pay lobbyists to make sure copyright law gets as fubar as it is in the first place)
Another deep tale from the internet: So i was looking for copyright free music content; and downloaded a bunch of songs. Turns out the guy who uploaded that content used the "free copyright" title as an excuse to make people download his actual copyright content and then claim it. So i made my coffe; scratched my cats; opened my lap top and added an undertale song instead.
Great video emp but you forgot the best way of smuggling music past content ID. Mashups, key and BPM matched. Video game music tends to make the best matches because they're nearly all instrumentals.
Lillildipsy .-. Here is a better analogy Youtube is a net that ensures that the big fish are safe and secure, while the small fry are left behind in the trench of copyright abuse.
I feel like something that's overlooked is that if you DO fall within fair use and get claimed anyway, you will (eventually) win the dispute and the revenue rights to your video.
The issue with that is that copyright disputes are rarely decided by who was actually in right, but who has more money to pay the lawyer. And with corporations literally employing teams of lawyers, it becomes basically impossible to out-sustain them. You get stuck in a Catch-22 where even if you fight back and somehow beat whatever music label is fucking you over you end up broke because lawyers charge exorbitant amounts of money.
One time I got a copyright strike on a video of mine.
Why? Because it included the state anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In case you didn't know, the USSR national anthem has been public domain for DECADES.
its kinda ironic have a copyright claim from a national anthem(who get the revenue? the state?), even more from a country that doesnt exist anymore and EVEN MORE from a comumunist nation
@André Well, the Russian government didn't claim it. Their copyright law explicitly states all Soviet iconography and anthems are in the public domain. I think what happened was a performance credit.
@Sama Lass Just because the piece of music is in the public domain doesn't mean that specific recording of (modern) musicians performing it is. aswell.
If a game soundtrack is copyrighted, then theres a good chance that the game is copyrighted too because gameplays would get copyrighted claimed because of the music being played in the background of the game
@Uriel Ceniceros Ok it's a bit long to explain. Practically, a few weeks ago, sony music entertainment japan had begun to copyright claim all the videos that contained the earthbound ost (if you do not know what earthbound is look on wikipedia because it is definitely too long to explain it to you) blocking all videos that contained the game's music. The problem is that being the ost from a video game then this was going to include ALSO the gameplays of the game, which in fact were blocked or claimed within a few days. Rechecking recently I noticed that things are returning to normal, with videos of the ost being visible again or copyright claims being withdrawn, although there are still some videos blocked.
@WatchLaterTVi know earthbound samples music, but it’s mostly the Beatles and one song from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and I’m pretty sure they don’t have the rights to strike videos that use either of those.
9:45 That explains why you did it in that way. Not gonna lie, that's my favorite part of the Monday Night Raw video, and hearing the audio from the original footage but done in a step-by-step collage made me take in the scene with some degree of imagination, and it was an interesting experience, making it my favorite part of the whole video. Screw those fartknockers for forcing you to do it that way, though.
2030: Submit to broadcasting SFW gaming videos on Pornhub because they are unfortunately looking like a viable competitor to youtube...yeah. I'm thinking about it.
2020: Don't broadcast anything offensive to children or targeted towards children, but we'll let the news show war, terrorism, murder and worse cause they'll pay us
pyropulse I truly think they don’t have enough loot to pay all of the creators. This is a shit show. But they can’t tell us this because it would be pandemonium!
We need to file a class action lawsuit against Warner and Universal for repeatedly and illegally falsely copyright claiming people. The street goes both ways and its a crime when they do it too.
Jaydoff We can only hope big Youtubers, the ones with the money, will take action. Like Pewdiepie or similars. But I don’t think anyone is willing to go to court with fucking Warner Music, etc.
Mr Beast should actually attempt this, he's one of the few people that has the time and resources to start a lawsuit like this. It could change everything tbh.
@Jaydoff im with ya, like for real, maybe it's possible if enough people join this venture. Im sick and tired of mental acrobatics that creative people have to go trough just to create thanks to parasitic companies that unjustly profit off of their work.
I remember when Nintendo started cracking down on people using their music. Back when I was still a part of the GMod/SFM community, I was hearing complaints left and right from my peers. Even though Nintendo has eased up a bit, it really kinda killed a lot of the motivation to go forward in the community.
20:32 I love how your examples of obscure music are pretty much in my music taste homeground. Not a fan of Cassiopea or Spin, but that kind of obscure prog is exactly what I listen to
Okay I'm going to try to tell as many people as possible this but you can use a verified partner account; put content on another account AND THEN CONTENT CLAIM IT FOR MONEY! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS AND DID EMPLEMON BRING THIS UP?
I got hit with a copyright claim when i showed an instagram story of a single i found at a thrift store of 1999. Copyright laws are absurd at this point.
I did a Kingdom Hearts lets play, on the first episode, I got copyright striked by disney for making a joke using the disney theme, I didn’t even steal it, I sung it myself because I am crap at editing. After that, I gave up on being a YouTuber because I didn’t want to deal with it or possibly get sued
I literally just tried to upload a funeral video for my Mom’s friend the other day only for it to get hit with this garbage. Somebody literally has a auto claim system, for a public domain song, set up to try and make money off military vets passing away. I hate this mess.
Halfway through this video, actual tears of anger came to my eyes. Dear Companies, Restricting free speech is a crime against humanity, not another way to make money. If the law is with you, then you are both in the wrong. No, you know what? We've tried mercy. Now it's time to fight. You gotta break the law to fix the law, as MLK showed us all. We need to recreate the Civil Rights Movement, and all the strategic coordination it took to bring justice to America. That method killed de jure segregation. Bad copyright law should be a piece of cake.
for someone that has been both a looong time user of Youtube and a recent student in production of youtube videos, i find this video to be very very useful, emp. Thanks Homie.
I think it also helps to alter the dimensions of the video. For example, changing it to something weird like 1001x135 while being extremely stretched out, will also help make it harder to detect.
I've had scumbags illegally copyright claim things on my channel, and since I'm not the rights holder I have (had) no way to stop them. The whole system is broken.
This new YouTube browser player is awful, not only does it randomly 144p more often, you can double tap on the sides to skip 10 seconds. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REWATCH THE JOKE I MISSED IN A +30 MINUTE LONG VIDEO SUSAN?
Thank you, Emp. I love you. I wanna try making videos and I started my year by making a shitty Onision meme vocoded to songs from Evangelion, specifically Cruel Angel's Thesis, Komm, Susser Todd and Fly Me To The Moon. It was very quickly claimed, blocked and struck. It completely sapped me of my drive to actually go through with another Eva related project I was starting to work on. This guide will come in hand for avoiding situations like it in the future.
Honestly for the safest approach to the music problem possible while still preventing content from being bland, use royalty free music that is relatively obscure. There’s a lot more out there than you think, and the more types of songs you have the less bland it will seem. Hell, most people don’t even realize that it’s royalty free due to how obscure it is. It doesn’t even have to come from obscure artists, certain artists have made tens of thousands of works.
Alternatively another solution is to just not have music at all. On paper it sounds like an awful idea but sometimes the structure of the video, theme of the video, and many other things can let you get away with this. However keep in mind that this option is very situational regardless, and if you feel like your content could benefit from music then I highly suggest you use it.
TIP FOR MASKING INSTRUMENTALS: If you want to obfuscate the instrumental track you're using in order to bypass copyright, add an EQ to the track and clip out as much of the high and low frequencies as you feel comfortable with, then add some record static. I've found this to be fairly effective in multiple occasions, adding a small pitch shift doesn't hurt either!
Another neat trick you could use. If your sound source is stereo ( in most cases it is ) you can null out and remove the 'center channel' fairly simply.
The center channel consists of content that is equal amplitude on both the left and right sides of the audio. Things like bass drum, snare and the main vocals. It really depends on the decisions made during the mix process, so your mileage may vary.
To remove the center channel, you first need to make two mono tracks from the original stereo track. I'm not sure if you can use Audacity for this, but I know that you can do this with Ardour. Ardour is free and open source software.
Take your two mono tracks, time align them and reverse the polarity of one of the tracks. Everything that was once panned to the center now disappears. To bring back portions of the audio that is nulled out, add an equalizer to one of the tracks.
To bring the kick drum back, use a high pass filter. This keeps the low end from canceling out during the summing process.
@null It's the same technique you could use for making a karaoke song as well (just for removing vocals) . I used this trick for a wedding years back, yielding decent results.
This tool can be used to de-mix a song, to separate out the audio files. Works best on acoustic tracks.
I uploaded a bit from a morning radio show that included Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart". The cassette tape had tracking problems for the first few seconds, making the start bassy. I got a copyright match, and when I asked YouTube to remove the song, they didn't completely remove it. You can still tell it's there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gnlcmgfY6g
People have been repeatedly hit with copyright strikes on YouTube for the album Polygondwanaland, which was explicitly released to the public domain (including commercial use, the band encouraged independent record shops to press their own vinyl).

Hilarious how an hour long video can have a 5-second sample from a song or a soundtrack leading to the whole video being removed, demonetized, or blocked in certain regions (if not simply muted), yet there are millions of uploads of ENTIRE MUSIC ALBUMS from many rock and metal bands and those not only survive through the years, but gain views still and people even leave comments
if this doesn't let you know just how fucked the copyright system on youtube is, nothing will
@Liam Thompson a video featuring the broadcast of Robert J Oppenheimer saying I am become death..... was copyright claimed by Warner bros for Linken Park
My favorite (a.k.a. most flabbergasting) is the video of a kid playing the star wars march of the empire on a ruler pressed against a desk that got ID'd
I got claimed on one of my videos for using an Undertale song by a company that didn't even own the rights themselves, and of course monetized it, because YouTube's system is so easily exploitable.
Here's a fun one that Soundcloud mashup artists use to avoid their tracks being taken down; take the track and pitch it up or down by a decimal and stretch it out by a millisecond, it will sound exactly the same but the bots won't pick up the original songs
Unfortunately this doesn't always work. There are videos that have altered songs to a much further degree (reversing it, pitching it down/up by several decimals, altering the speed by over 25%, etc) that are starting to get detected.
It's almost as if they're improving the bots to try and get around content creators methods. Though this also leads to false claims happening (like when Mr. Beast got claimed by some record label for simply yelling "yeah" and the bots thought it was Journey or something).
The only example I can think of at the moment is Pewdiepie's recent Dr. Phil video. He distorted the video AND audio of the clips he used and still got copyright claims. Of course this could also just be a case of the copyright holders actually manually claimed the video because they saw it.
Also take this comment with a grain of salt because I'll admit I haven't yet watched this video lol
For what it's worth, I never register any of my music with the Content ID system. I did it once, a long time ago with one album, and really hated it. Decided that my music would be free to use and listen to for it's life time. And in the case of the ass hole who decided to change his licensing, if I ever decided I wanted to earn money off of my music, it would never be 1) from copyright claims. 2) from music I have already released for free.
I put an unlisted video on my channel of me playing an interpol song on youtube so I could send it to my grandma, it was insta-claimed, even though I played all the instruments and sang the vocals, I got a claim for the MELODY of the song. I actually thought covers were pretty safe on youtube before this, but apparently not.
For what it's worth, in regards to still images I actually really enjoyed the editing in the WWE Never Ever with the live commentary over it. I thought it was stylish.
Have you seen the people copyright claiming their own videos with music they own the license for to counter the company's claim?
Also, you missed the most common technique to obscure smuggled video: Speeding it up. I've seen people do this for literally a decade, and it seems the system still hasn't caught on
Hey guys, I heard that Hyper Potions is an independent artist that won't claim your music, and they're happy to allow you to use their music as long as you credit them.
@The Plains Jam I guess it eliminates all the annoying and disgusting "kid" channels, but also puts a lot of good content creators in danger due to how vague the concept of what they view a "kid" channel as.
Grimms Yeah that’s a big problem. I’m pretty sure that YouTube and the FTC will hash this out and do some new terms. For the mean time, those channels will have to adapt and survive. I will say that I’m looking forward to how this will play out
@Grimms well guess what, that exact thing will be such a huge financial blow to YouTube, that it will definitely fold, or at the very least cut costs DRAMATICALLY
BrickBuilder Infinity you see Mr. Infinity, pre 2014 YouTube had no toy channels filled with children. It was beautiful, but then channels like fgteev, toy monster, and Ryan's toy review brought a foul stench to the site and caused a huge surge of children to YouTube. Coppa will make YouTube more like what it almost was in the golden ages.
You can make a song on a different account, register it to the content ID system, and use it in a video on your main account, then claim your video with your alt account to get monetized without having to appeal to YouTube's age appropriate monetization system.
Public domain music is also an option (although it may be country-specific) - note that this is different from "royalty free" because it's literally past copyright-ability.
Another example of just how insidious the music copyright is on YouTube: Pyrocynical had an outro song by Whitewoods, a vaporwave internet group who samples copyrighted music to make their vaporwave music. Sony claimed the song and all 500+ of his videos with 15 seconds of the music at the end got claimed, making his entire channel copyrighted.
If you're gonna be a smuggler you have to keep in mind variety is dangerous (more chances of getting copyrighted) but so is uniformity - using the same thing in all of your videos makes it so if that gets detected, now you have multiple copyrights to worry about.
Happened to Mumbo too a while back, and in an unsurprising display of YouTube's incompetence, Matt Lowne's intro as taken from the YouTube Copyright Free Library.
I feel like at that point, it’s cheaper and safer to pay someone to produce a 15 second outro for you, especially if you’re going to recycle it for multiple videos.
Yes, the copyright system itself is incredibly outdated, originally made nearly a century ago and updated decades before the widespread use of the internet. But until lawmakers change the rules... why not just pay a small fee to use the music?
(Again, this is just specifically for the outro, I realize it’d be pretty expensive to pay for multiple different trackers per video)
@Nonukez he did just that after it happened and got his own new song comissioned. He didn't before because the music kind of became the theme of the channel
I think if you use someone else’s song without permission the amount of money they get should be the percentage of the length of time the song was used for in the video divided by 2 because only the audio was ‘stolen’ and the visuals were likely made by the original uploader
Even saying lyrics is copyrightable according to the current youtube system. Most businesses aren't going on radical copyright inquisitions because they know they will cause too much backlash, so instead they're just slowly boiling the pot with ever increasingly bullshit claims in hopes people wont notice and it'll eventually become the norm.
Thankfully, I've never had to deal with getting copyright striked. (Probably because I animate myself but probably because my videos don't get more than a few hundred views)
Yo I just have to say, your videos inspire me to want to make videos while also hitting me with the realization that I should give up on that dream. Keep up the good work!
Props to emplemon for not only showcasing how people smuggled copyright content, but also trying to get contentid to not take down this video by putting them in use at the same time.
YouTube's priority is not to be sued out of existence by major media companies. The Content ID system helps to protect them from that. Without it, YouTube wouldn't exist and if it did, using copyrighted material without a license would be much more expensive for individual creators. Obviously the system is not too great, but it is a layer of protection for creators. Don't forget that.
22:03 Considering that I've repeatedly used Higher Powered by Audio Hertz as my go-to stock music for copyrighted music, I would get several claims at once if that song loses its creative commons license.
That Brawlmaster guy was a treasure hoard of video game songs. Nintendo killed that decade long channel for... no reason? They weren't losing money, and getting a lot of exposure.
I personally recommend copyright claiming your own videos. That way, if any company claims it, they'll still have to share 50% of the revenue. Plus, if you have several accounts, you can effectively funnel 99% of all the revenue towards yourself. The only way for that to stop being a viable option would be if YouTube acknowledged the inherently flawed system and fixed it.
@Ecrivon Lunyx i mean, it's as illegal as what the companies do
you claiming your own content makes sense, companies claming a song that they didn't make doesn't what's the company going to sue you for? what's youtube gonna sue you for? we can refute all their shit back by telling them that theyre shit, or making them look at a mirror, so they wont
TL;DR:: they have to be big fucking hypocrites AND acknowledge it to sue us, they do only the first part
@Conut Gnuz Yeah, but they could just give you a SLAPP suit to silence you, knowing you cant afford american court fees as you still have to pay your attorney even if you win the case, unlike in the UK where the loser pays both sides legal fees
Making your background songs into nightcores are also a good solution for using copyrighted music. Yes, Those anime high pitched remixes of songs amount to something. Although I would suggest you make it a nightcore yourself rather than nabbing it from someone so you'll have more wiggle room on mixing it up to your tastes. 8bit and Midi remixes also apply. Midi being lower on size.
about the video smuggling: one time I've flipped and squeezed a music video footage to about 1/3 of it's height and yet still it got claimed. 1/5 of the height squeeze worked though
I wonder, could the video game music method apply to Mod tracker files (as in Commodore Amiga music)? If so, that makes Mod music another source of smuggleable music
The most easiest thing ive seen to avoid copyright is flipping it, ive seen animation reviewers do it, some times I cant tell that it was flipped until some text appears

I got claimed for playing a song too like the original on piano that the content id system thought it was a reupload...
YouTube auto-detects the Minecraft parody song "Revenge" (creeper aw man) as the Usher song for some reason even though the Minecraft song's backing track was remade with noteblocks
The YouTube copyright system claimed multiple of my covers of songs that was made using a musical instrument I DESIGNED. That included Megalovania. Kinda bothered that they want to make money off my engineering. I honestly wish the dispute system had an option where you could say its not the right song (i.e. the content ID system messed up) because there isn't that option.
When discussing music claims, I had an issue when I captured the performance of a band performing a cover of a song. The band who made the original song (or their record company) claimed the entire 1 hour video for a live-performed cover of material. Joke's on them, though. I'm too small-time to be making money on YouTube anyway, so what's the point? The channel I uploaded the video on is Midnight Owl Radio, not my own personal channel that I don't do anything with.
Same with Nerd City, if not even more so: he uploaded some good tutorials for creators and showed the inner workings of YouTube, so it's likely that part of his audience is also other youtubers.
I normally don't care much about copyright issues on YouTube since they don't personally concern me but EmpLemon's videos are always so well made I still watch them even if the topic isn't interesting lol.
This video makes out that it's fine to steal stock photos and get away with it. If you stand to gain from using the image, you should pay. The people who spend their time to contribute these images rely on the income.
when it comes to putting up copyrighted music, just slow the track down by 1.5-2x, and leave a note in the title or description for the listener to manually turn up the speed 1.5-2x in the youtube video "playback speed" settings
i swear MrSuicideSheep, Chill with Taiki, etc are keeping us music lovers alive. The chill, lo-fi, and even vaporwave, chill house, chill trap, chillstep etc are put on Youtube for recognition so that they can be streamed on Spotify.
"The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley seems to be so protected that I can't find the original version of the song on YouTube, I can only find remixes. I don't know why a song from the 1980's is considered so "precious" that it can't even be used on YouTube. The only place I could find the original version of the song was Amazon Music.
YouTube needs some sort of competition. Without any rivals or threats to YouTube they can do this shitty tactic and system to screw content creators over. If there was a second website competing with YouTube then they wouldn't be doing these shitty business practices as to not lose advertisers and content creators (a.k.a $$$MONEY$$$).
I added a song to some videogame footage I once uploaded. It was SUPER quiet and only meant to cover the maybe 10-seconds total of relative "silence" over the course of the 5-minute video. The rest of the video you couldn't have heard the song if it was 10x louder. It got claimed.
I once got copyright striked for using a car start up sound effect... that was in public domain... that some random music company put at the start of their crappy music video. Thanks YouTube.
Music, images, video, and software, in a digital format, is information. Information can effortlessly be copied and shared, whereas physical, material objects cannot (read: law of conservation of mass). For this reason, treating unauthorized use of information as "stealing" is inaccurate and wrong.
Youtube is actually just trying to learn how to read there though. It has no idea wtf that book says. Youtube can't be held legally responsible for anything because it's just a babby, an youtubekids. Google, take me to spiderman elsa.
Many years ago I attached a photo sensor to my microphone input and covered it with my finger to measure my heart rate. It worked, but my skin was touching the wire, which, incredibly, created an antenna that picked up a long-wave radio station. I shit you not. I added 30 seconds of it to the end of my video on the project. Youtube identified the song I picked up from the radio, but weirdly not the copyrighted music I was blatantly adding to the video. I did not get a strike. Actual (very cringy) video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPrhUaV-ERI The relevant bit starts at 1:47
11:09 i did my first video about 2 years ago, and it got claimed because the music playing in the background, which was HEAVILY NOT LOUD OR ENJOYABLE, was playing. from a famousish company named Intocable (spanish for untouchable i think) cause it was just there. there was a lot of noise in the back so yeah that’s another thing to point out.

So in theory, I could be copyright claimed for playing a song about a battleship, in a video I made (on a separate channel) where I was supposed to make a boat for a school project. The music was played from my computer, the video was filmed on my phone (with my computer in the background) in the back yard of someone I knew with a swimming pool, with me talking over it describing my project. Interesting...
Might I add that I only plan on uploading if I have to do a project that requires it.
I only found out about this recently and I’m not sure if this has been said yet. At 10:35 is the white straps playing in St. John’s finishing up a tour across Canada. Among other secret concerts and performances where there should not have been from the groups “we can do anything” mentality, they performed a final secret performance where they played one note. Then left.
16:32 Realizing that 009 Sound System - Dreamscape was so popular through virtue of being alphabetically gifted is deeply hilarious. I wonder what other cultural phenomena will/were created because they showed up first on a list.
I love how they basically copyright infringe you because they are using your content to gain money.
It should be backwards, user videos should have a priority over already published pop culture elements (given that they credit creator properly so looking for sources is not hell).
Anyway I think it is pretty shitty that a 3 minute song you randomly used for background can strike a 30 minute video and make earnings for the author company.
I mean if they upload the music with no other intent than making money directly from the unprocessed product then people do deserve to get struck down, in any other case they are practically stealing from you.
I'm really pissed of that there's no Jimi Hendrix or Beatles songs on YouTube... It's detrimental to the legacy of those musicians and a lot of young people are missing out on discovering their music because of that
If you find a nice song by an independent artist, that you want to use in a video, it's common courtesy to ask first and most of the time they only want to be credited in the description. Of course if they let you use their music like this it's the nice thing to go to their website and buy their album too.
I paid for a stock music site to use their songs on my vids and avoid copyright. But then another stock music site had an artist claim some of that stock music as their own and stock music site 2 slapped me with claims even though they were peddling stolen music. I did the research and pointed out the mistake to both sites. The thieving site ignored me, my stock music site basically said "Thanks but we don't care." And the copyright strike stood for a month.
I'd be willing to pay the percentage of my revenue the same as the percentage of the song was in my video (a 5 second music clip in a 100 second video gets 5% of the revenue for example). But instead a 5 second clip in a 30 minute video means the song get's 100% of your revenue. That's not fair on any level.
I find it funny how near the end of the video, Emp uses a song from tf2 from a gamemode called "Mann vs Machine", which I think is hilarious, due to youtubers vs copyright is litterally men (and everything in between) versus machines.
5:14 GUESS WHO'S WRONG! 7:06 I swear I've seen that unsettling image in Dragon Quest. 9:36 Also upping the pitch for the audio. I've seen it done too 13:00 DUDE Man, what a glorious second part. I've seen some second parts in MY time but that was the secondest of all. Seriously though, cheers, my belo Emp.
The Arist Niel Ciceraga, had to take the song "When he died" taken out of the Album Spirit Phone's upload on youtube, because it sounds similar another song, even though its his own unqiue creation and has been sincearound 2012. Its pretty bad if a song can just get removed because some more popular person used a similar tempo or something and claimed you stole it
That's pretty wild considering he is the same guy who used to make mash ups of popular songs. Though Lemon Demon ACTUALLY is original material. I didnt know this though. My minds slightly blown. Neil is amazing.
When I was like 7 or 8 I made an original composition in Mario Paint called "Starlight Casino." It turned out Sony Music also had a song called "Starlight Casino", and my music got copyright claimed solely because the title was the same and they assumed it was their song. Thankfully, they rescinded the claim after someone actually checked it out and realized it wasn't even the same song
Sad thing is this isn't exclusive to youtube. There have been multiple occasions in the music industry where artists/publishers have sued other artists under the accusation of their song too 'similar' to theirs.
You do realize you could make a channel that is able to content claim videos and content claim your own videos in order for ad-sense to be on said video right? Not counting copyright dead lock. I've been telling people about this for years!
I actually made a video (For educational purposes) and used "all you need is love" from the beatles. It got claimed less than an hour later. So, I used a remixed version than sounded almost exactly the same and didn't get copyrighted.
this didnt age well. i mean the information and video is fantastic. however NO one could have seen the WARPATH both MUSIC and FILM studios have gone on now against content creators because of massive loss of revenue due to corona. holy shit balls. where do we go from here?
The bit about paying royalties to Cypress Hill's publisher reminds me of copyright law in China, especially in regards to toys/collectibles. In China, if you make a bootleg Gundam, you actually own the right to the bootleg. So if ANOTHER bootlegger takes your design, you can sue them. Even though you stole it in the first place. WHAT A WORLD
Had a particularly dumb encounter with Content ID recently. A few weeks ago, I uploaded a Clone Hero gameplay video of the song Dead or Lie from Danganronpa 3, and although the video was claimed, all they did was put ads on it. Fast forward to yesterday, I made a shitpost using a shorter edit of the exact same song... and it gets immediately blocked worldwide.
Apparently using the full version of Dead or Lie is perfectly fine, but using the TV edit is gonna get you blocked worldwide. What fucking sense does that make?
I am getting recommended the first two parts of this series so much more. But I haven't seen the one that has "Copyright Law is a Joke" in the title once.
From personal experience, licenced commercial music can be refuted if it was played through a video game. In my Taiko no Tatsujin guide, I managed to refute all copyright claims and won all of them. Give or take, this was a several years ago. There was one video that got region locked, but youtube assured me that it wasn't a copyright claim. The song was called "Knuckle Heads" from the NHK Music Group.
i would like to mention on the video game music section that there was a huge shit show back around 2014-15 with specifically the SMT: Persona series where a russian actress copyright claimed a bunch of songs from ATLUS and got a good couple of channels removed due to her actions, which i find absolutely fucking hilarious in hindsight cause she of course had nothing to do with the series at all. eventually it stopped and now you can search for them and get good results. i am pretty glad youtube is finally adding in rules to claim holders to actually prove that the client is using their content at all
Step 1: Make your own song (or pay someone on Fiverr to make it for you, but make sure that they give you full ownership of the song) Step 2: Upload your music to Spotify/Itunes/Wherever you listen to music Step 3: Use your music in your video Step 4: COPYRIGHT CLAIM YOUR OWN VIDEO I know it sounds crazy, but this is how it works. If one person claims a video, then the owner of the video gets nothing, and the person who claims it gets all the money. If TWO people claim a video, then the monetization is split between THE TWO PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED IT. Therefore if your video gets claimed for something stupid, but you already claimed your video for having copyright music (your music) then instead of losing all the money, you're only losing half
ok, this is something happened to me about 10 years ago...
I uploaded a video I made of me playing my original piece of music with the camera pointing at the sky. It got copyright claimed. I appealed the decision, and lost. I deleted my channel in response. Then came crawling back years later, dammit...

Normally i try 8 bit versions of the songs on the video. At least the youtube audio fingerprinting have no chance to get it by itself. Oh, he said that... HE HAS IT ALL... My hero.
The copyright system as well as American law must be torn down and built once more so that everyone can understand it and that it doesn't take 5 ever to be able to use content.
13:13 - This is the same reason why the song 'Bittersweet Symphony' by the Verve was claimed by the Rolling Stones. The sample they used was in the public domain, but when the Stones used it in their track it suddenly became copyrightable again.
Been getting away with using non-IOSYS songs with my SoulCalibur VI touhou vids but with ads being run regardless of your video being monetized or not, I wonder if there's a point to my efforts moving forward.
I once used a cover of a song in one of my videos. It was claimed... by the original record company. The melody was the same, despite the instruments and lyrics being different from the original recording. What a load of ass.
Ironically, Casiopea, the album showned in the video, is hard to find since some months on Youtube and the internet in general. Sucks cause that's one of my favorite album, and it's high priced on discogs. Spin is still around, and even in the recommendations on the right part of my screen right now.
My biggest fear about Youtube is that the channel Terminal Passage gets terminated someday. I would actually have real trouble recovering from this since nearly all the songs I listen are coming from there.
Classical music gets claimed because labels are saying a performance of a public domain piece is too similar to a recording they have of an artist performing the same music (record labels and songwriters/composers have their own, separate ways to claim royalties and lay stakes for copyright) and the person uploading the music is infringing on the recording. It's total bullshit.
When I was a kid I made some Youtube poops, and one day I was hit by three strikes at once by a company whose name was all in Japanese or Chinese or something. They were just shitty Super Mario World cartoon and Zelda CDI poops. I must have been about 13, I remember I was really afraid seeing all this official stuff, and I thought some people were going to come to my house and arrest me. But I think even now I would feel the same way. I think a lot of people don't even realize when the claims against them are nonsense and will just be frightened and let it happen without putting up a fight.
To fully maximize content smuggling, create a song that is unique and easy identifiable. Register that song with a label, they put that song into the Content ID System. Use the song as ur outro and claim your own videos for part of the revenue.
Fun fact: Jagex was one of those companies that was really strict about copyright and runescape gameplay being featured in videos. I originally started youtube making flash gaming videos, and runescape videos back in like 2006/2007, and got permanently disabled for having too many copyright strikes from Jagex LTD.
For my videos I began using my own custom-made 8-bit chiptune remixes of songs arranged in FL Studio, but sadly it's not entirely effective: one of my LEGO tutorials got claimed because of chiptune covers of '90s grunge songs in the background – and worse, another video got claimed for using a chiptune remix of a public domain classical song from the 19th century. For the latter copyright claim, YouTube said my 8-but cover of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" belonged to Disney, so I had to provide links to the Wikipedia article about the song being in the public domain and how the composer wrote it well over a century ago. I eventually got the video restored with the claim removed after a week or so. But anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing my 8-bit chiptune remix of the Downward Spiral theme in your next video!
That's actually a scary thing to hear about. Disney is really scummy, and has been trying to prolong the period during which the author gets royalties and the rights of the work belong to them (and after which, said work goes to Public Domain). In fact, they've been gradually doing this since the 1950's, by relentlessly lobbying the lawmakers - first they got it changed from 35 to 50, and then to 70 years. These bills and legal acts were first introduced with the right intent - to make sure, that the author and owner of intellectual property would get paid for their work... But if you ask me, making this "copyright protection period" even longer makes no sense at all, because the work in question would've been copyrighted for much longer, than that author could possibly even be alive. In other words, the copyright would then outlive the creator by orders of magnitude - but who knows. I mean, at this point, there's no telling what Disney is gonna do next.
I almost couldn't tell whether this was some sort of ironic hyperbole. It almost madden me that these policies are in place the way they are. Absolute horseshit! I think you're lucky anyway since I've heard in many videos that appeals and other ways of reaching out amount to nothing if you don't have the proper connections.
YouTube continually stressing and pushing the line of "I cant leave youtube its not that bad theres no where else to go" to the point people are gonna start uploading to fuckin facebook
You wanna talk jacked up sampling logic: the tracks that come with iMovie and Garageband are essentially unusable because so many hack "musicians" have used them unaltered as the backbone for their songs, that they instantly get claimed by some nobody. Despite clearly being royalty free in Apple's terms.
I sometimes hear on youtube songs with one its audio channels had its phase inverted, producing a discomforting, through-your-head sound. Is this valid technique?
Your advice about game music should come with a strong disclaimer. While there is a lot of original game music out there, the fact is that there is also a fair bit of game music which is licensed from artists or music companies. You can get copyrighted by uploading game footage with in game music because the music is licensed.
You think that's bad? Youtube once demonetized my whole channel claiming that it has copyrighted content. Only there was no specific claimant, no timestamps. Because there couldn't be, because literally all of the content on my channel, from music, through sounds and visuals were made from scratch by me. From scratch. Imagine my frustration. I've emailed them back and forth, but they had no explanation for this claimantless claim. Eventually they reinstated monetization a month later - no explanation whatsoever. (PS in case you got curious and checked - this is not the channel I'm writing from that went through this)
Just use Darude - Sandstorm (8bit version) for all your videos. That'll chill the cops on your heels.
Seriously though, it's creators like you that are the sole reason I keep coming to this hellhole, and I don't know how you endure. It's only going to get worse, almost infinitely worse too, come 2020. Not just talking about COPPA, but that's a sizable part of it. Love what you do and know lots of others do too. :D
How would you even go about getting video game music in the first place? What's a safe bet for acquiring it without fear of malware and to get the best quality (because I refuse to use my phone to record audio off a tv)?
i have a theory that popularity of slowed down/chopped and screwed music like vaporwave and ambient was due to copyright avoidance, people had to get creative
To be honest I think that $50 thing would be an ok thing to do but only if you were able to swap out tracks after uploading. Unfortunately only Gillette can do this as YouTube supports them in their propaganda
7:07 not just that, some games have it in their EULA that you can record footage, and others say outright on the startup screen that you can use the footage in any way you want.
I think they should take the revenue based on the amount used, example: video is 20:00, you used 5 seconds of copyrighted material, not fair use, you get the 19:55 you made, they get the 0:05 as if it was it's own video.
Slowing down music does nothing to change copyright claims. Haircuts for Men, a vaporwave artist, has had some of their music lost due to copyright claims.
@pyropulse If you have watched emplemon's video about Viacom and Youtube, you'd really know that Youtube isn't primarily at fault. It's basically the cooperates that want to steal the revenue. Blame it all on Viacom.
@Edward Elric why do you think the State exists, to protect poor people? Ask any politician exactly who they work for? Ask any rich man where money comes from... It isn't magic It's law
What really sucks.. is when you upload a video with an original song you spent weeks or months working on, and 30 seconds of it gets erroneously claimed through content ID. So you look up the reference song it says appears in your video and it literally sounds nothing like your content.
Jokes on you, I clicked out of the sponsored ad before you said you'd sic the ftc on me.... but then I thought about it and felt bad and realized I can just go back to youtube homepage in another tab and let this finish in the background. Thank you for doing God's work.
a lucrative company caring more about money than the content creators that its business model relies on? the legal system rewarding this behavior, as it cares more about said companies than the people it is supposed to protect? wow, who could've predicted this surprising turn of events
Apparently Ubisoft used to heavily enforce copyright on gameplay footage of their games as in 2010 and before that they often took down most videos that included gameplay footage from their games and often got entire channels terminated with a number of those people still banned on YouTube to this day. Anyways there’s also a number of indie developers that have absolutely no reason to take down gameplay videos of their games because of absolutely all of the publicity their games are getting coming from those videos so without the videos their games would forever remain to the side of the internet with not many people knowing about them! :)
Here's a mind blowing fact. Silvagunner exists because of how bad the YouTube copyright system is. The "game rip ost" genre was created because there was no other way to get the songs and they seemed to be claim proof. SiIva took this trend and made a big meme out of it with his high quality rip series.
I once made a parody of a famous music video wherein I replaced the audio & all the actors heads with anime girls (do not ask). Took me months. I tried flipping, cropping, overlaying, hue shifting, noise adding, panning, all without success. What worked? I ran the whole thing through a neural network style transfer AI thing. Came out looking like an acid trip but was finally able to get it past youtube.
The way to win the metagame is to not play. Last time I tried I used music from BEFORE THE FIRST WORLD WAR and it was claimed. I quit. YouTube should only be a hobby, not a source of income.
Don't forget that if Youtube REALLY hates you, you'll get copyright-claimed even if you don't have any content. That's what happened to Mister Metokur.
6:43 yeah its pretty sad how nintendo almost shut down super smash bros melee at evo 2013 and telling them they couldnt legally stream the event despite the fanbase raising money for charity to get the game at evo in the first place. That being said nintendo doesn't act that way any more and they've learned a lot (but they still don't support the competitive scene like other esports do smh)
This is a really good and educational video. I highly recommend homestuck music for copyright free music. Even though the web comic itself is controversial, the music itself is good, diverse, basically copyright free, and there's hundreds of songs so you won't run into redundancy issues.
600+ songs for the official albums and tons more fan music, unreleased demos, banished to the underworld songs(rip bill bolin music) but man, it all starts to feel the same until vol. 6-10
what if a Youtuber found something to copy-write strike a big media corp for something? for instance if a news website reported on a meme or video without their permission? if the media corp went to court to actually fight it and win... would they not be setting a future precedent for fair use?
I don't think it's even possible to legally withdraw a license from something already licensed? I know that open source software will always remain open source independently of the wishes of the creator, and all they can do is to release a new version with another license, yet the older one will be open forever.
Actually emp, at roughly 4:30 in the never ever, the "ooooh" from the start of the title song is in whatever the remix that's playing is. Is it bullshit? Yeah. But I am pointing it out that it's there in the slightest tangent.
I wanted to be a youtuber... went to school for event and promotions management, learnt law, learnt how dumb copyright and trademark law is, and left entertainment industry. Copyright law is straight up evil
I've made tons of videos using Metal Gear games. Around 75% of those videos are claimed by Konami. 2% are claimed by remixers who sampled music or audio from Metal Gear Games.
I got hit with a claim once, which on its own isn't a rare thing, but it was for a Stepmania video where I replaced the audio with my own remix, which I realized I could do. I'd posted versions of this remix twice before, and neither of those got claimed
Once I get copyrighted by a music that nobody hears because it's sounds like ambient noice. Ambient noice with copyright, that's a new one for me, the song is real and the claim is understandable I guess so I let him get away.
11:35 the only thing that could even hint or copyright infringement or something like that is when emplemon says "who lives in a pineapple under the sea", a lyric from the theme song. if this is true, its both disappointing and expected, since mrbeast got claimed for saying the lyrics to a song he didn't even know in a baritone voice in a video of his, like shown inside this video.
I want copyright laws in place to protect people from having their work claimed as someone else. IDGAF if someone uses my content for their own creative freedom. Just dont claim that my work is yours.

At least it's kinda fun as a challenge and making your creativity work
What are you talking about? EmpLemon originally made videos called YouTube Poops. A community of people who made these kinds of videos has been around for a while. Emp found enormous success with breakthroughs like the Uncredibles and Frying Nemo, but those in the YouTube Poop community began to resent Emp, and a hostile relationship developed. Eventually, some creator that Emp really respected put out a statement saying that "EmpLemon has been on a downward spiral mentally, and now he's lost it completely." Emp turned this around and made it his catchphrase. It's not a reference to any real-world person who only says downward spiral.
Ok so how about we flip COPPA onto the copyright claimers? Basically, if they fail to copyright a video fairly, then they have to pay the $40,000 fine. Hell knows they can pay for it anyways.
like any youtube that talks about drugs (not showing consumption, only education) will tell you, it's not only the copyright system... youtube as a whole is working against many creators and many don't even see it as "broken"... and i think this too, it's totally working according to plan.
You should probably also mention or write somewhere that a good resource for copyright free stuff would be public domain stuff on free music archive, pixabay etc
For some reason yesterday the Youtube Algorithm decided to recommend me your Dale Earnhardt video and I decided to watch it. I deeply enjoyed the video and finished it not noticing that it was 50+ minutes long. I then decided to watch your Spongebob video, which was also stellar. Then your part 1 of this series caught my attention, but I convinced myself not to watch it because I knew that I would immediately want to watch part 2. But considering that part 1 had already been released for 2+ months - and a quick glance at your infrequent (no offence) upload schedule - I assumed I would be waiting a while for the sequel to roll around. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this video being released today. I thought "What luck! A mere day after discovering this great Youtuber, I am blessed with the follow-up to a series I am interested in with no painstaking gestation period!". So you can imagine my heartbreak when I discovered that a part 3 is in the works. I implore you to take the time necessary to complete this series so as to retain the standard of quality throughout, just remember to wake me up when it has reached its close. (I did have to use a thesaurus at least 5 times writing this comment).
Part of the problem was that the trust in youtube becoming a thing was that only creative people would upload to it. People who had an instinct to own (or have permission for) the content of the video they upload. YT never enforced this. Now that it's become easier to commit copyright infringement than to upload original work, and VERY easy to make money off of frequently-uploaded copyright infringement, that's the norm.
Only now is it being enforced that "Hey, committing copyright infringement is bad" are people saying "How DARE you call me out on something I've been doing wrong for more than half my life! How will I feed my kids?!"

I was just about to finish a argumentive essay about YouTube copy right for a collage class. Great timing.
In all seriousness though I love your videos. You actually inspired me to write about the shitty copy right system.
About 10 years ago I made a trailer of Casino Royale entirely using Simpsons footage over the trailer audio. It was hit with a copyright claim and my account was permanently banned after another similar video I made. How things have changed...
Nintendo actually still does take down videos of their games. They haven't stopped. They just do it less often, and usually for cases like if somebody shows a mod or an exploit in the game. Still shitty to do.
A VERY old song I upload for people to help me with finding the game it belongs to got claimed by a guy that stole the song and used it in his own music. That's fair. I mean I uploaded C64 game music, which you can argue is bad, but the claimer didn't even credit the original theme.
I got once got a copyright claim for my own song I made in 2006. And someone used my song in 2011 on YouTube. With out me knowing. Then I reused the 2006 original. On YouTube on in 2018 and had it striked. Then I had proof it was my song with a save file on the final edit when I was making the music. Back in 2004-8
People smuggled music that's illegal in the states to youtube. They just put a short clip of different audio before the song to dodge detection. Was the most impressive music smuggle I saw, but it's possible they could end up doing time for that one. Not just copyright claims, he could legit do time in a state prison for that. I could elaborate on why it's illegal, but then everyone would find out what it is from Google and watch the videos and/or report them.
For some duty caulking reason in YouTube decided to Add a copyright claim to a gaming video. How the f*** did they do that that isn’t even reasonable!! And it was Hillclimb Raceing 2
6:35, obviously playing, recording, and sharing video game gameplay on the internet is copyrighted. How do you not know? do you not realize that for example in Minecraft the very textures in the game are copyrighted images, and all blocks in the game use those copyrighted images, and Minecraft is full of those blocks, which means that your screen is literally full of copyrighted Minecraft textures. Also a scenes from games may have visual backgrounds, which guess what, are copyrighted images. Any and all cutscenes in games are literally like watching a movie, and guess what they are copyrighted, so of course gaming is copyrighted.
But I am not saying that it should not be allowed to be recorded and shared on the internet, what I am saying is that it is just barely allowed.
If you do a rearrangement of a song its completely fine. I have some on my channel and they are 100% legally owned by me, even tho their is some music from Zelda for example. (feel free to use them as u wish, crediting me would be great)
They seem to have mostly given up because of the sheer volume of people posting the OST anyway, not to mention the “this is definitely not” videos which are probably slightly less detectable. Honestly just downloading the soundtrack is the best, as I soon found out.
On my public channel I had created a terrible song using Mixcraft and its included loops. I then got a copyright claim because some equally talentless hack published a song using the same loops.
You cant even win when you legally own the licenses to the audio youre using.
I cant get over how the guy making the announcement on his personal website saying they have a years notice sounds like the exact plot to hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
That Pulp Fiction claim is ridiculous. I had a claim from the Washington State Marching Band's 2016 performance of a Sousa song. The video was uploaded in 2010.
I was waiting a while for part 2 to come out since your first part was really educational. But you are misleading people a lot. In the beginning you are saying things like "copyright of images hasn't been enforced a lot" which is 100% false, and also implying that saving a image from a browser is somehow violating copyright. Copyright law does not affect private use; so that previous statement makes no sense. You also mislead more in the video when talking about video-game footage, implying that companies don't own the content portrayed in a youtuber's video. In reality, the youtuber owns the digital file that they recorded; which even then, is not freely made as it uses multiple pieces of software that have permissive licenses or something similar to a permissive license. But in order to post the content online, you still need to be within copyright intent of the people who own the copyright. These are all obvious points if you have read copyright law. What questions would be more relevant might be like, what abstracts allow us to link copyright law with various media formats. Like how can an arbitrary law apply differently to a book versus a online video, etc. Also, you could point out the biggest issue, which is youtube's handling of copyright law isn't to protect YOUR rights, but to rather keep themselves from getting into legal trouble, and how they can let other companies piggyback them to gain profits, like how UMG has been doing in the past year. And basically content creators can't do anything about it when their profits get claimed, even if the claim is not legal/done in a legal way.
This reminds how screwed Youtube is. My boyfriend got his music copyright claim WHICH HE MADE, USING HIS OWN STUFF, FROM SCRATCH. He took the video since he's not going to let some b1tch get money off of his work. Soundcloud remains his only channel i guess.
I used the yt audio library on one of my old videos because the music that was in my video was horrible Quality, worked great for a couple years until all of the sudden the song isn't available on yt audio library and I got a copyright strike
What the hell is this? How is this necessary? Mad respect for anyone who decides to make a career out of this, just constantly hoping they can make someone’s day a little better and manage to get paid for it instead of being ruined by an unfeeling cooperation.
Is there a growing anti-corp sentiment in wider society? I feel like YouTube fans and video game fans hate their guts, but I hope it’s not just limited to some countries
I just have this dread where an AI working for an individual fights against an AI working for a large company to find alteration methods so that youre AI can punch trough theire AI-s filtering system. And at some random moment you get a mail from youre AI you forget already cuz youre a dumb human that it found a version and is ready to present you the alteration and be aproved by you, hoping to maybe get a few extra ram for its baby AI its programing that one day might be more then IT and can work for a school profect as a Heizenberg dampener for a laser lol.
A game show once used a clip from a tom scott video, then tom's video got claimed bcz of it Also the shit that happened with thefatrat is just next level bullshit considering that it happened on a much larger scale
Surprised you didn't mention it, but does the copyright deadlock still work? If so, people should just do that and get their money elsewhere; I don't know why people still rely on ad-based revenue.
As a TF2 lover with nearly a 1000 hours on it (still not close to being a veteran), I'd like to know when it became popular in memes? Was it since TF2 broke it's record time since it's last major update? I thought that would kill it. I don't need sleep, I need answers.
I absolutely love that there is a brazen re-upload of all 6 star wars movies on this random youtube channel that was recommended to me, it has existed for 3 years and still hasnt been taken down
Another trick to avoiding claims on copyrighted music is to switch the left and right audio channels and/or invert the wave form. Doing so will generally have minimal audible distortion (except with songs that use heavy panning) while also creating audio that doesn't match up in a way that the content ID system can recognize very well. Maybe they've gotten smarter about that, but it used to work pretty well from what I hear.
15:42 I remember for a long time, I could find an upload of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower on YouTube. All I could find were Hendrix's cover or something else that just had song's title. Now, it's up on YouTube.
I'm a simple man. I see Casiopea, I like. screeching music nerd noises Great video as always.

This video is like the equivalent of telling kids not to do drugs, but telling them exactly how to get drugs, where to get them and from whom, and telling them all the effects of drugs. Not criticizing or anything, I just found it funny.
I had my own period of stupid, petty lashing out at the song copyrights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7LJl7ZToGs I made, like, 50 if these stupid, sped up singalongs. Eventually though, they started occasionally identifying and claiming them even sped up.

Thanks to YouTube's copyright policies we now have the green Simpsons.
It turns out the YouTube sound library isn’t safe either, as Matt Lowne was claimed for using a song featured in it that was at some point removed for no apparent reason...
Cody from Cody's Lab got his video of inserting a magnet into his finger claimed by a music company and they provided a timestamp of the video that was complete silence.
I upload mugen streams to share for folks who can't make it to the stream on Twitch. I don't try to monetize them, yet my unlisted videos are blocked in Denmark because of Norwegian Space Disco. Youtube, man...
I personally find a lot of metal music doesn’t get copyright striked. Not sure why, might be because of the heavy distortion usually found in the genre.
Actually the Youtube Audio Library isn't a perfect solution either, a youtuber by the name of Matt Lowne recently had dozens upon dozens of his videos claimed for using a piece of music he had downloaded directly from the library some years ago, but which was for some reason no longer available in the library. Presumably the license expired and the creator decided to copyright the track, leading to an enormous waste of time and effort on Matt's part getting the whole affair sorted.
imo youtube copyright bs is why zoomers don't know who jimi hendrix is. the copyright striking ends up being counterproductive for the person getting the royalties in the long run
You know somethin'? I'm of the exact same opinion about copyright law's strict enforcement. I will not rest, I will not cease in my archiving and sharing of IP and media, until the day that these laws and policies are repealed. Trademarks and patents do nothing but stifle art, tech, and business innovation. The intention may be noble on paper, but the existence of the patent and the power of a government force only works to shut down those who outperform or provide complementary experiences to their products and services.
I feel bad everytime emplemon says that nobody watches ytp maybe they are not as big as they used to be, but at least in my university I see guys from time to time watching ytp on their phones and laptops and I still search for them regularly
That public domain story was kind of sad. Like, yeah the guy was dumb for what he did, but for someone like him I would've hoped he'd be forced to reverse his claims and leave people alone, not lose his entire music career.
10:35 the music copyright is so shit that vinesauce vinny got one of his videos taken down because it had a song from red vox. a band, that vinny sings and plays the guitar in.
I got claimed by doing a live stream of GTA V through my ps4. Rly fking nice because it took my ability away to live stream and I had to take the "copyright" class. I couldn't even dispute it. So lame...
There is something to be said about some games being uploaded online though. Detroit: Become Human and other titles are pretty much movies, and when people upload uninterrupted cuts of the entire gameplays without any commentary or altering. You can’t argue that that isn’t serving as a substitute for buying the game, it’s not just free promotion.
I got a video copyright claimed for using In the Hall of the Mountain King, but surprisingly the claim has been dropped last I checked the video. Wonder what's up with that.
The YouTube Audio Library doesn't work anymore. There's a whole new controversy around Matt Lowne being under attack for using songs that have been removed from the library AFTER he obtained them from there.
My strategy: just go to Vimeo, Dailymotion, Vidlii, BitChute, Minds, literally anywhere else and upload there. Maybe not Vimeo. Strongly recommend BitChute, though. It's G O L D.
And, hey, if you still want to upload on YouTube, just post an edited version of or a trailer for your video and then upload the real deal to the above alternatives. Except Vimeo. STAY AWAY.
That claim thing for the Pulp Fiction clip has happened to that Kanye clip where he said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” it’s bullshit how bad YT is at this
The bimmons are green, pretty epic. Rather good video, broke down in a critical way how the copyright has reduce the freedom of creators and how larger companies have bullied the person over pretty shitty claims but again it leads back to the retardedly word copyright law.
Funny how when he uses the fruit clip when talking about footage being irrelevant, the footage is actually relevant to the topic, that being irrelevant footage.
copyright is supposed to expire after 50 years... yet images of micky mouse are still copyright? i guess the rules dont apply to the big corporations who hold the copyright
Speaking of TantrisOST, it just got sniped not too long ago. I only know this because I decided to finally save their StarCraft II upload mere days before it happened, as if that influenced it somehow.
I think it's kind of funny that they'd be so religious about enforcing the music copyright but if you look up literally any song since the beginning of time you can find it from the artist the topic and several reuploads from random people
tbh, general IP laws are actually highly abusive and are prone to generating monopolies. In fact the funny thing about IP laws is that the term IP, intellectual property, was used as a refutation of the laws, long before it represented the subject by proponents of it, for trying to enforce applying ideas into law and thus making thoughts own-able property. Honestly I think IP law should die.
the second you defended spiff even though his entire channel depends on those copy righted images, not just a second or two but every minute in every video of his your legitimacy vanished and every point you make then on has no right
12:39 on a video that I made(that I deleted by now), some fuckers decided to claim some random megalovania remix as their song, although having nothing in common with that song
As said in 13:17, i had a similar problem, when the Kavinsky legal team claimed a song on a video i worked MjB-hnQIH3U?t=874 . Bot the sample he made(Kavinsky - Rampage) originally was from dragonball z... And when i replaced it with the dbz one, no monetization warning or problem ocurred...
whosampled . com /sample/197506/Kavinsky-Rampage-Shunsuke-Kikuchi-Gekitotsu!!-100-Oku-Powaa-No-Senshi-tachi/ ... Link smuggling, rsrs.
About smuggeling msuic, was played around in fourier space to remove some frequencies there? this would be an interesting thing to test.... but it might distort the song.
I uploaded a video of the man who sold the world using a clip from the phantom pain and artwork of mgs. Over a shit ton of vids and a lot of mgs fans discussing their favorite parts of the game and all. Didn't know i smuggled. Just wanted to share something i like
bruh, they're penny pinchers they couldn't give less of a shit if you commit toaster bath as long as you give them money, asking them for some sympathy is asking a brick wall to feel emotion
like what they did to me? ruin youtube and the entire entertainment industry so i cant be a famous animator or game dev or anything in the creative feild?
I think it would help if the only option copyright holders had was to block the video in all countries, instead of getting money for it. Free money is a serious incentive to claim videos. Taking it down only accomplishes something if the existence of the content actually hurts your business, like an entire movie. Taking down a video is also visible to fans, unlike revenue claims.
There are some interesting bootleggers out there(all in the same way). s̶e̶a̶r̶c̶h̶ ̶u̶p̶ b̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶l̶u̶c̶k̶y̶ y̶e̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶h̶o̶m̶e̶r̶ I've only seen it with the simpson and family guy but they have titles that LOOK like they describe what's happening in the thumbnail and they're always filled with jumpcuts.
Some copyright music is not even music I saw a video about the Mars Spirit and opportunity rovers launch and there was copyright music even though that there was no music I click the link and it took me into a recording an audio file of them so when they performed the music that surprised me even radio chatter could also be covering it it’s ridiculous!
Ayy, it didn't occur to me, but I'm really glad my boi Gilva Sunner is in this video! I don't actually make videos, I just like listening to the music, and he's my number one source
one way i smuggle music isnt through purely editing but the choice of song i use. for example my solo run of ebondrake citidel uses a song from monster girl quest. a hentai. and it has the audio sound effects from the game i am playing ontop of it making the song function as a background music replacement.
I know the biggest copyright smugglers on YouTube: those that put "Full movie in [insert language] " in the title. They upload an entire, unedited movie on YouTube in a resolution that is higher than 480p and they mostly don't get copyright striked or terminated! But those that upload well known movies like Shrek, get copyright striked or terminated.
Regarding video game music, keep in mind that publishers / rights holders are slowly getting wise; Nintendo went scorched earth with multiple vgm channels, well known or not, after Smash Ultimate leaked, and people quickly uploaded the then unreleased audio to youtube. Many channels have suffered or been wiped as a result, and now the future of vgm of Nintendo properties, new and old, are uncertain.
And a bonus story close to my heart, Namco Music Channel, known for their wealth of high quality Tekken tracks and other Namco property music, was slapped off the site when they were hit with multiple copyright claims and channel strikes.
As you said, the longer this goes on, the worst it gets. With the (semi) recent FTC news, it's not even known if there will be a youtube in the future.
2017 I made a video at Sziget Festival in Budapest of me and my friends. Obs, if you are at a concert probably you will ear music in the background. Was copyrighted not by the festival, not by Hardwell that did the remix but from the author of the orignal song. WTF
I have a feeling that the video has already been demonized and is going to get claimed by someone with 2 subscribers from India with no evidence to claim the video.
If I remember correctly a video of MikeyMegaMega was copyrighted because he accidentally and unknowingly said the lyrics of a song that he even didn't know "this hips don't lie"
You know Macintosh Plus Floralshoppe? The second song, everyone's favorite song with 420 in the title, gets copyright claimed by diana ross... HOW THE FUCK CAN THAT VAPORWAVE BE CONSIDERED A REUPLOAD OF THE ORIGINAL SONG ITS BASED ON?!?! And it's AUTO CLAIMED! AUTO ?!?!?!???!?!?!?!??!!!!
I got a strike on a video where I had a song playing in the background. That wasn't the point of the video, just happened to be what I was listening to. How does that work?
A lot of YouTubers and other creators aren't necessarily interested in copyright, but they have to learn about it in order to do their work, unless that's what you're talking about?
@Ecrivon Lunyx well no, I guess what i was thinking about is how many kids in my school probably dont know jack about copyright, and realized they never teach you about it, unless you stumble across it
the default library isnt even save... A ksp youtuber (Matt Lowne) recently had all his videos flagged after youtube took the song he used out of that exact library
A youtuber I watch got a copyright strike from Ferrari on one of his videos because he got a custom exhaust for his corvette that made it sound like a V8 Ferrari.
Me: Films my toilet bowl filled with a lumpy load of intestinally-processed bean burrito ingredients YouTube: This video has been copyright claimed by Tyler Perry (video) and Post Malone (audio)
Me: Guilty as charged
Zombieland was on youtube for a while, some zoom-ins at every few seconds and it pass the algo. In my early days of youtube I uploaded clip from Family guy. I had to use red line crossing the video, and the audio was poor quality from the incorrect exporting settings. Nowadays I had posted clip from Rick and Morty, didn't detect it, but was manually allowed, just like the clip from family guy, because it increases the popularity of the show, by the having the community sharing positive stuff about it.
Personally I would just avoid royalty free music because these musics are just generic and boring. I would prefer use some video game soundtracks instead of just using royalty free music
Shoutouts to the dude who made a song that used the reverse song of healing from OoT (not even well i might add, its just kinda tossed in there) and now all instances of it are being claimed including the original ben drowned series, and the dude refuses to release the claims.
I had a video of mine copyright struck because I used an AC/DC song. Kicker is, it wasn't their record label that flagged it up, it was some random asshole D&B artist that sampled a random part of the song and claimed my video (using the original AC/DC song). I just deleted the video in the end, the hell am I letting my content line the pockets of some random asshole.
Music copyright is the worst when it comes to rhythm games. A video of a music game where the song being played has to be muted is unwatchable, and one of my rhythm game videos constantly got blocked worldwide because of the song.
I had to circumvent this by turning the music down by 40db, putting all the music in the left channel, putting an equalizer that warped the balancing of the song, and I STILL got blocked worldwide.
It wasn't until I took a clip called "pizza etiquette" and I placed the audio right under the music track that I finally got it to upload without being blocked worldwide.
I took a piece of a rap song without vocals and copy pasted it to make a backing track from my video and it got copyright claimed as the instrumental version of that rap song lmao
There might be more people like me, who just appreciate the good art and good music, but don't have time for tedious and hardcore old JRPG's. I could get into a few of those franchises now, with 3D, but go and ask any fan about that
@L. de Wijse Fire Emblem isn't really a jrpg tho and definitely not hardcore, especially the newer titles try to make it as easy and accessible to newcomers as possible with things like Killer Queen's third bomb and casual mode
what if i upload a single video which has multiple and i mean it when i say ultimate and also make it hours long and also add every copyrighted song that can land me guarantee me a copy strike, all this but also all the copyrighted stuff is from all sorts of different companies, what will happen if i do so?
This is their plan, people! These are demons! Just like the Bible says, it's basically an intergalactic invasion into this space through people. I've..I'm I'm telling you. It's what all the ancients said, it's what they warned of. It's what we're dealing with. They're demons. They friggin inter-dimensional invaders, okay. I'll just say it, make fun of me all you want on CNN or whatever but everyone already innately knows this. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FRICKIN' HUMANS, OKAY?
I got a video on my channel taken down for playing 15 or so seconds of a sonic song, WHILE PLAYING A SONIC GAME. I turned the music on for the intro and got taken down, wtf
Annnnd THIS is why I left YouTube and moved to Periscope! I can't wait to get back to filming my show! Never take a karate chop swing at a side view mirror! Your arm will loose! YpuTube has gotten even worse huh? Yeah, I am glad I dumped them! I will only be using them for vlogs!
wait hol'up, so are you telling me, that the universe after billions and billions of years time after humans were born were spent just so the humans could use the copyright wars to each other, humans, the fuck are we doing to ourselves, jesus
Funny story about youtubes music copyright bullshit.................. one time I uploaded a video of me improvising a guitar solo over a public domain backing track, and 4 different publishers attempted to copyright claim it. It was literally a minute of me mindlessly wanking a guitar solo. Apparently I was unknowingly covering 4 publishers songs without even knowing it.
This is how copyright was intended to work. Every single complaint in this video is an example of copyright working as intended. Copyright is unethical. Repeal copyright.
Actually your song can somehow lead to more views and more more money. But why taking all of money from video? Maybe it would be better if the revenue going to owner would depend on how long song played in your video
And if you want people to just know that you are author of the song, there is another licence for it where person using song just has to paste your links in the description
I guess it was made so people can contact owner to use song and give them part of profit but if song too popular, they probably wouldn't be able to answer every single request from small content creators
@krerm I'm a fan of the Creative Commons Attribution license until we can repeal copyright, but copyright is based on fundamentally flawed thinking that inevitably leads to bad things happening. A music creator should never have any say over what a video creator can or can't create and they should never be allowed to extort money from a video creator no matter the circumstances.
@krerm No. No. No. The very premise of copyright is incorrect and unethical. It's like talking about the way slavery should work. It shouldn't work. In both cases, no one should ever have that sort of power over another person.
. . . actualy, if you can use videogame music you can use videogame music's REMIXES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH THIS IS BIG BRAIN TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fuck the beatles, I made a fully animated video using "Eleanor Rigby" once, and it got blocked everywhere. That's fine. So then I muffle the song a good bit. Gets claimed. Lower the pitch. Still claimed. Lower the pitch AND muffle it. Still claimed. Lower the pitch, muffle it, turn the volume down to where it's barely audible and slow it down to 50%. STILL FUCKING CLAIMED. After that I gave up and haven't uploaded this video I spent 15 hours on since.
Music claimed Ah, i probably should compose my own... Sample claimed Ah crap... Probably i should just use square waves instead Song claimed anyway So... Where is the nearest cliff?
16:40 except when youtube removes a song in that library it's suddenly copyrighted and what? you used that song that we HAD on our library but isn't on it anymore in your video? CLEARLY REQUIRES A COPYRIGHT CLAIM
bro, it's not 2006. any smartphone nowadays records perfectly fine and watchable video, prop it up and you can have a good time and record videos for free and when it comes to location, where are ya gonna fuckin go, bikini bottom?
It sucks because you can hardly make sample based music these days, alot of hiphop etc cant be uploaded without instantly being claimed. Its not uncommon for lofi-sample based songs to have 20-30 sources of samples, any one of them can get flagged :/
The riddler was riddling as he was pretending to be the joker pretending to be himself while thinking the words "jokes on you batman, rid-dle yourself of this inceptive conundrum."
Ironically, Keep it Coming by Nate Dogg is a full fledged record that is not copyritable by record labels, only EA... A video game company... /watch?v=W9e7U8z7hrY
My shit ass text to speech video of We are number one (made back when it was booming) got claimed because I forgot to set the volume slider all the way to 0 and it was just tiny teeny bit above so you could hear it only faintly in the video when no other audio was playing.
The thing I hate the most is old content either claimed or deleted from the user. Such as old YTP’s getting claimed and the holder not uploading them anywhere. So others have to reupload the older videos for them. It’s just sad to see those videos gone kinda like losing some internet history imo.
It's happened to me, and I'm still looking for any shred of videos from my early history. I know it's probably not going to show up anytime soon (if ever), but I still look for it.
Naw the law came into being way earlier. It's the companies that follow and stretch the law too far into foreign lands that cause the damage. The government can't predict nor prevent everything. We can hope it can react but reaction itself from the government is potentially dangerous so...
None of this has anything to do with the law. DMCA is far more fair. They have to give names and addresses, you can take them to court over false claims, the burden of proof lies upon them if they take YOU to court, etc... Really points to the sad state of affairs in America when the government is more fair than, well... anything.
Sometimes it isn't that simple though, in the case of commentary channels. Or as shown in this video, you can get claims even if that doesn't actually occur in your video. (Like some people last year talking about Rewind 2018 getting claimed for using those popular songs even though they specifically muted the clips to avoid that)
I got a copyright strike once for using a song which I though was okay anyways if it was the original song. But some random fucker who remixed the original song decided to claim my video when I used the original song instead of his shitty ass remix XDDDDDDDD
Lol, all of this work because some people are to stupid to understand that piracy is actually good for everyone.
You don't want your content seen? You don't want to be famous? Well ok then. I gonna watch something else in this ENDLESS OCEAN OF CONENT. If you don't want to stand out, that's fine by me.
I use dropbox, and it automatically saves a screenshot to my shared folder when I press the print-screen button. No more pasting the clipboard and saving the file manually.
Obviously, If you need to edit it, there are extra steps.
@Anatomy Of The Mix In the past thats how ive done it. My current job doesnt involve pc much, so these days i just meme hence my op. Quick way to grab something and paste into PS.
15:37 in less... you use a partnered verified channel to content ID for revenue your OWN VIDEO honestly do I need to reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time just TO PROVE THIS WORKS!
have people ever tried to use royalte songs but in cover? For example, instead of using, let's say the imperial march, why not make a cover of it (made in piano or guitar or whatever) and then use it? Would it get claimed?
I got a claim for using the Jo Jo to be continued meme, it's banned in North Korea, and now glorious leader will never see that video.....
Joke's on who ever claimed the video though, I don't monetize anything I upload, I just make dumb video game crap for my friends to watch. but hey if they can grab a couple cents from one of the whole 7 views my videos get from someone who might randomly watch my stuff without an adblocker, more power to them I guess.
3:12 Hey, does anyone know where I can get this simpsons clip with no voiceover and in yellow? I’ve been searching everywhere but I still can’t find it!
YouTube isn't biased in favour of "the left" or "the right" or any actual values. They're concerned with the accumulation of wealth and capital, nothing more than that.
uhm, you probably heard this already, but mumbo jumbo sat for a couple of days, deleting 10 seconds of his intro, even tho he had the right by the guy who made it, but he sampled the song from another artist or smt...
there is a way under copy right to buy public rights to music. cost a little money but its not as crazy as ud think as this includes bissness such as cafees sandwistch shops ect were music is being played publicly were its being used as backround music.. so it is possible to opperate simi legaly in this area
Patrick S. There’s a lot of them. Off the top of my head I can name paralyzer, dreamscape, with a spirit, born to be wasted, trinity, stop by ghost k, bodies, and my shooter.
Reference, You suggested me to use Metallic Madness Past and not Stardust Speedway Past, on my videos! Pre-Reference. This is the Mirage Saloon(Wild West) of Share holding!
wait isn't susan Blueish and also got into youtube within the family due to how she got a seat in youtube as the ceo of 23 and me is the sister of susan who married the CEO of google until 2015.
I love how I spent most of this video trying to identify the background music. Also, I appreciate your taste. The smash remix of Mila's divine protection is one of my personal faves.
Here's an idea; What if you upload the audio of the video to a different website, and just have the viewer play it separately themselves? Not the best solution but its one of the few this broken system might allow.
You know Emplemon hitting the hard topics when he's out here featuring Jim Sterling clips in the video. Also props for using Mila's divine protection. I like the Echoes version more but they're both good.
You can always stick to module music. There's a variety of them and it's easy to use them and credit the creator since most of them are dead or don't care or want the publicity. I would go for any track that you can find on YouTube uploaded by a nobody that hasn't gotten claimed. I personally prefer this method because they're better sounding than a midi, but still have that old vintage computer music feel. and there's a stock pile of these out there. Also some of them tend to be remixes of old pop music, so be careful.
When it comes to smuggling audio, I once found a channel that would fuck with the outputs of the audio somehow so that it could only be recognized on headphones. Anything else and the audio would be nonresistant.
As soon as i saw you talk about protected songs such as jimi hendrix i remembered to put a thumbs up on the video. It's a shame really, usually when i use music it's in the background of a game montage (and i usually use music i like, not generic dubstep stuff to avoid copyright/appeal to children), and it's fine by me when i get copyright claimed for revenue, but when the video gets completely blocked in all countries to the point where you can't view it, it's a huge problem. Thank you for sharing, emp.
Some gaming OST do have strict copyright over them. It's funny how I got a strike from a visual novel when the music was composed by a different person who didn't even worked for the game.
14:55 Also, reversing songs. I like to reverse copyrighted music both because it's funny and how it avoids being caught, but…one time, I did get caught (strike and video takedown) for it by IFPI, Taylor Swift's bodyguards.
Trout Mask Replica is a pretty good source if you want to use copyrighted music without the repercussions. The original owners/producers (Beefheart and Zappa) are dead, and YouTube's bots don't even pick up tracks from that album as music. And, tracks can be distorted or edited without altering audience perception music. Track 15 works particularly well for this. (Oh, and you probably won't have to deal with claims from the current owners, as Zappa's kids don't typically enforce unless you're performing the music at a paid show without permission.)
we need a web extension that can transform a youtube video in real time. that way people can upload videos with transposed pictures and an extension will rearrange them for the viewer
UMG tried to copyright claim me a while ago for a song from Minecraft, claiming it was from a song in the 1920s. I had to threaten YouTube with legal action for them to actually recognize that it was a false claim and the claim was removed shortly after the legal threat was sent. THAT is how bad the Copyright system is in YouTube nowadays.
I pirate and research the systems and algorithms in place to stop that or to distribute but having been looking into different methods you mention it can't be done effectively with music but that's where the vibrato plugin for audacity can make a difference
Also, I had a video get taken down worldwide once, the highlighted footage a low res clip of “this is your brain on drugs” with some slight meme edits. In the claim they cited a media claim, but their source was some music video from a German pop artist that I’ve never even heard of. Not to mention the video itself legitimately used a copyright song already, so I had no prospects of it being monetized and this was the leverage I used to get the video back up. I still don’t understand how such a thing like this is possible, I’ll post screencaps of the claim if anyone cares.
Then just recently (literally my last upload) got copyright claimed even though it was a poorly synced acapella parody over a midi cover with horns and bells... originally from a power metal song... Even the system detected it as a cover originally and they were STILL able to claim the revenue for my parody
I love personal websites but if you're going to make such a drastic change you should announce in social media. Specially uh, you know, YouTube, the site where people use your music the most.
YouTuber has entered the game -COPPA has entered the game -FTC has entered the game -YouTube responsibility has left the game -YouTube effective censorship has entered the game team death match start "Will you pay $5000 to send a signal for a lawyer?" Yes No >Yes, but with total submission to your YouTube and government overlords I'll take my chances protest YouTube
THE YOUTUBE AUDIO LIBRARY IS NOT SAFE! A YouTuber I watch called Matt Lowen got copyclaimed on almost all of his KSP content because he used a song from the YT Audio library in the intro. The song has since been REMOVED from the library. All the videos with the song have been claimed and he is trying to save them.
Remember when a fake rights holder claimed my video for a song (The Kirghiz SSR Anthem) that was NEVER copyrighted, and was protected from copyright by Kyrgyzstani law. Thankfully, youtube forced the to remove the claim.
The one royalty free bit of music you played around 16 minutes, to me we will always be I Hate Everything's theme song. He uses it in all his videos, that I can't help thinking "hey that's I Hate Everything's song!" Whenever I hear it.
This website is in ruins for repeatably punching the creators in the face the people who created the content that made this site what it is today these creators are immediately thrown to the side in favor of a large company this site has no respect for their real employees I want a website that will fight for the creators and have their back when there is a clear unjust
I keep getting unsubscribed from Emplemon, YouTube’s coming for him

I’d like to mention one case, MisterMetokur. Like him or hate him, he was unfairly issued with a content strike for recycling other people’s content. The guy didn’t HAVE any content on his channel when that happened. He removed it for the sole purpose of avoiding another strike, but low and behold, Susan found a way. Susan always finds a way.
The funny thing about Internet Historian's story is that Lightning McClaim isn't even allowed to take his song out of Creative Commons; once you've applied that license, it's permanent!
Jonathan Blind2019-11-22 18:55:44 (edited 2019-11-22 18:56:19 )
Dude, the fucking eagles have all their music claimed instantly. Its nearly impossible to find a consistent eagles music channel. It makes me wonder what these old ass groups actually think of this. Was this their doing, or their record labels
I watched part of this video and got an autism speaks ad at the beginning, then I realized there was a part 1, so I watched that, came back, got the same ad
This is why most rap music is shit All these "artists" do is sample(steal) sounds made by others and claim it as their own and add their hack lyrics Take any rap song that hasn't sampled at all and remove the lyrics, can you still enjoy it?
I made a shitpost on my channel that included a midi version of raining blood by slayer. it got immediatly claimed but not by slayer but by someone who did a cover of the song, so it's not like they even have the rights to begin with
I got a copywrite claim when i uploaded a video of Flight Simulation aparently because someone had a copywrited song that plays jet engine sounds htf you copywrite engine sounds is beyond my mortal mind comprehetion true story
Copying is not theft Stealing a thing leaves one less left. Copying makes one thing more, that's what copying's for. If I steal a bicycle, you have to take a bus. But if I just copy it, there's one for each of us.
~Nina Paley, Copying is not Theft, Question Copyright channel.
I thought Creative Commons licences were irrevocable; in other words, you can not remove Creative Commons from a work once it is applied. So the creator of the royalty-free track is basically breaking the terms a licence that they themselves decided to apply. Pretty infuriating. ( ಠ _ ಠ )
13:30 I have had an experience with getting claimed for using the same audio that someone else sampled in their song.
In 2013, a friend and I took part in a project at school. He made two clips in Movie Maker which were essentially slideshows of pictures with text over them, and had one of the Windows 7 sample music tracks playing in the background. I had a YouTube account, so we uploaded the videos to my channel for our teacher to embed on the project's website.
Six years later, they get claimed (the videos are unlisted, so it was probs ContentID). Why? Because they contained some song by an African rapper I had never heard of. Except they didn't, the rapper had sampled the track from Windows 7 that the friend used.
Most of the embedded content on the project's site is now missing, but I wanted to make at least these two clips were still available. Thus, these videos are in no way monetized and I sure as hell didn't want someone else's ads playing on them. In addition, I'm not sure what the copyright status for the original song is, but I have the feeling that my friend wasn't allowed to use it in the first place, so I went the easy route of replacing the music with some ambient tracks from YT's audio library.
Can’t wait for part three next year. But really though, I’m excited for part three of this since I’ve not seen YouTubers talk about copyright on the company’s side. I mean yeah the system is awful but companies like Nintendo have that right to claim those videos or actual musicians claiming the remixes of songs people make. Does that make the internet less fun for us, yeah but how would you like it when random people enter your house eat all your food and piss in your sink all the while taking advantage of your income with only a few giving thanks to you? Also they spit on your dog for good measure, and maybe kiss you good night too I don’t know. The downward spiral pulls all sorts of people.
KSP youtuber Matt Lowne used music provided by YouTube in the audio library, but recently they simply removed the song from the library and copyright claimed every single video he had ever made. A couple of days ago he received a copyright strike, and is in risk of losing his channel.
Not even the audio library YouTube presents to us is safe to use.
Something I've noticed that I'm unsure if it's a smuggling technique is that some uploaded clips will have very slightly distorted audio. It sounded like the audio was coming from behind me and was moving close are father from my ears
Be careful with the Youtube audio library, a guy by the name of Matt Lowne has been using a song from the library as his intro and now almost all his vids have been claimed
The fun part about the music copyright system is seeing people trying creative ways to upload the songs without getting them removed. You can try searching for Fire Emblem Three Houses OSTs and see memes like "This video is definitely not <Insert the track name>" as Nintendo was actively removing these videos during the release of the game.
I used to have some videos uploaded that were recordings of events i took part of in eve online. Important to me and i think historically relevant to my corp (read guild) Brave Newbies Inc. But when someone talked the faintest whisper of a song could be heard at one point. I was struck and not given the option to dispute the claim only to accept it, which would have gotten me a strike. With the two videos that would have been 2 strikes on my channel. Today the videos are gone because that was my only option, to delete them, to erase that history forever.
This was a nice video. But about the music copyright part,I don't understand is why there are plenty of full audios and lyrics videos on YouTube. Some do get copyrighted, but many stay online for a very long time. In fact, it's very easy for me to convert my favorite pop songs to mp3, and most of them are pretty high-quality. I just don't get it.
My headphones broke so I turned on automatic captions and was surprised at how good and accurate the captions algorithm has become. Is that why Youtube is so bad? They've spent all of their money on captions algorithms?
I remember reading something about Undertale fans producing handmade plushies and putting them on sale. Toby Fox was advised that handmade products made in small quantities wouldn't damage the game's profits. Only mass-produced dolls being sold unofficially without any kind of license. I don't remember if he explicitly consented to the plushies, but he certainly didn't take action against the fans in question.
With this case in mind, I think the simplest way to cut out 90% of this copyright bullshit is to make it so that when a video is de-monetized, the user's share of the money doesn't go to the content holder. That way, content holders can claim copyright on material that genuinely threatens their business, but can't exploit the system and trash some benign youtuber's account for a quick buck, putting it much more in line with what copyright protection is supposed to do I.E suppress piracy, and what fair use stands for I.E freedom of expression.
The only problem with this is the question of where that money should go. Anyone who gets the money will have a vested interest in seeing other people's videos taken down and will likely be just as unaccountable for the abuse of such a right as the content holders are now.
If advertisers get the money, Youtubers will be monetized only to have their money taken right back as soon as the ads outlive their usefulness. This means new, profitable videos with high traffic will have a grace period while smaller and older videos will be sucked dry.
If Youtube gets the money, they will cull the herd more viciously and efficiently than anyone else ever could.
If some other third party gets the money, this may be the best way of ensuring impartiality, but what entity could possibly be sufficiently entitled and responsible for such a right?
All of this has come about because creators are the ones who make content, but the advertisers are the ones who actually turn the content into business. Sites like Patreon are more successful in cultivating quality content creators because the creators themselves have independence.

You can't retroactively change the license of something you've given out.
If someone gives you, or you download from their website something that is CC, that license remains even if they change their mind the next day.
It's a fools errand as well, since you'd have to prove they downloaded it from YOU AFTER the switch, and not you before, or someone else (Since CC allows redistributing).
He probably fled, because that was a class-action lawsuit in the making, from both all the creators, plus the non-profits who maintain such licenses.
For those who has trouble on the copyrighted music, try using music that has not been released on its own publicly (not on album). The easiest way of this is to use video game music that has no soundtrack release (the entirety of Follin bros. works, vaporware games, games with unknown fates in terms of copyright ownership).
This is just my theory though, which came from on how music that risk your video to get copyright claim need to be registered and it's more likely that music that is not used on any album to not get registered.
Here's a list of a few videogame OSTs I've never had problems with in terms of copyright:
Terraria soundtrack Minecraft soundtrack Ace Combat 0 soundtrack Ace Combat 04 soundtrack Ace Combat X soundtrack Ace combat 7 soundtrack Ratchet and Clank 2 soundtrack Ratchet and clank 2002 soundtrack Ratchet and clank UYA soundtrack Jak and Daxter soundtrack Jak X combat racing soundtrack StarCraft II soundtrack Undertale soundtrack Half Life 2 soundtrack Celeste Soundtrack Spongebob Battle For Bikini Bottom soundtrack Age of Mythology soundtrack
Okay, so... I have a lets play series that uses fairly long segments of music. The only videos out of 20 so far to be claimed... are ones that use songs from Fallout 3 in this Fallout 4 series. Howeaver, videos using other songs not from that game are 100% fine, and I figured out why.
The content ID system is VERY sensitive to the actual frequency band signature of a song in its registry. It has to be. If it was able to follow more than a very very narrow signature, it would be flagging simmilar sounding music as being song X, not song Y. It could even flag people talking as music. This means a slight audio effect, even so much as making a song sound like it's coming from a radio by giving it a mild high and low cut and some EQ... prevents CID from registering the song. Even if you use all of it.
So if you give music a vintage audio filter the system can't catch it (Using audacity or other proper audio editing programs, not an app, which could embed other signatures for ID into the finished piece). I find this really amusing.
most of the copyright claims I got were for Dillinja tracks, with vocals, but they're also beloved tracks by the DnB community and ubiquitous with the late 90s/early 2000s DnB.
so it makes sense that they were claimed, but almost everything from around that time is pretty copyright safe, for me, it is like this: "if it's obscure enough, no-one will care", and most of the tracks I listen to from that time are, so I can deal with it.
I hadn't heard the news about YouTube's change of policy regarding what music companies can claim. thanks for the info
Hey emp, guys, i swear that youtube unsubsvribed me from your channel. Because this is like my favorite channel, and i was like oh i didnt get a notification, and when i checked i wasnt subscribed. :(
Youtube needs a constitution or bill of rights. I suggest the top 25 subs(non-legacymedia) holders as the founding fathers. Anyone want to second that?
Another video about youtubers algorithms, havent seen a youtuber do this before. Not hating but these type of videos very much alienate the audience because we could care less/ know anything about how youtube works and it will never be useful to us. We want to be entertained, i get these issues are very important! but are they for the audience?
A youtube channel by the name of matt lowne (Kerbal space channel) using youtube music library in the intro and got claim... And the original music in youtube library is deleted...
Everything that is marketed so much is insecure. This is because, companies get complacent and hackers attack the biggest and most vulnerable. This creates a downward spiral. Also, sponsors are gay.
I'm one of the original ILLUMINATI SYMBOLISM channels and from 2007-2015 I would get amazing views. My biggest video got 500k but some interviewer asked Justin Bieber if he was ILLUMINATI and referenced my video, <which in 2009 500k views was huge> , JB was clearly uncomfortable and his only answer after stumbling over his words a billion times was "buhht I believe in god!" Nice one Justin but Satan is a god too. Anyway after a lengthy news article "No; Justin Biebler is not in the Illuminati" - my channel was struck 3 times in a row and subsequently deleted. This is now my third channel but I've always been 181. Thankfully I've been able to find these epic vids through reuploaders. Neway thats some oldschool copyright story :^)
Some other forms of copyright smuggling when I was researching this months ago is that scrapped/unreleased songs even eps from an artist/band seem to be not detected. Besides gaming music Gamers and Weebs rally since some not all anime songs don't get claimed such as Jojo's part 4 soundtrack seems to be fine on my end.
Thanks EmpLemon, your help in navigating the murky waters of copyright has been an interesting to look at. For me, most if not all of the claims are music related. The music of the YouTube audio library is way too bland for me. I'd rather use music that fits my own tastes, even if they aren't popular in any shape or form.
Thanks, EmpLemon, for warning me about all of these ways I could potentially be "breaking the law" (on the level of going 1 mph above the speed limit, like you said) by sharing images that no one is actually trying to sell or restrict. Now I can avoid falling into these behaviors. It's just like how my pressed-grape brick that I bought during Prohibition gave me instructions for things not to do to avoid turning it into wine, which of course would also be against the law.
From my experience, it's ALWAYS major labels that are tied to these claims, even when I'm utilizing much of the strategies in this video that would in theory qualify my videos as meeting fair use guidelines. It's hardly ever anyone else BUT major labels. I talk about music on my channel, and back in March, I had a whole slew of claims filed on countdowns I've made. They were ALL from Sony, Universal, and... shudders Warner. This is a big part of why I respect independent labels a shitload more than major labels. They're pretty much the only companies I ever get claims from outside of the one time Viacom blocked a countdown I made about Hey Arnold worldwide, and some other select instances from some other label.
One thing you said in this video that makes me think a lot is when you said "As your channel grows, so too does your risk of encountering copyright claims." I see many reviewers and commentators, "fair-users" as you called them in Part 1, get slaughtered with claims, especially around that time back in March, and I sometimes wonder if I'm getting off easy compared to them because I'm a much smaller channel. Kinda makes me glad I don't do this as a job because dealing with that would be way too stressful. If I get claimed, I'm not really gonna care because I just want people to be able to view my content, but in theory, channels like ours shouldn't be treated like the bootleggers.
Solid video. Can't wait for Part 3!
P.S. Maybe the Spongebob theme got detected in your video because of the "OOOOH" that you hear briefly in the trap beat that plays before you show Squidward dabbing? It's dumb either way that that happened since it's barely a full second of the thing, but just a thought.
Hey... back when the claiming was really bad and anyone could file a claim and get the money for your vid, could you have technically created a fake copyright channel or something, copyright your own video and ensure that you get your money by circumventing other people claiming your vid?
Also, copyright infringement of images online does occasionally hurt someone. Artists deal with art theft all the time. Some of them who make a living from art.
Ooh, I got a good youtube copyright story. So, a few weeks back, I learn about this old Japan-only Sega CD game named 'Funky Horror Band'. It was a licensed game based multimedia project from the early/mid 90s about a band of strange creatures from outer space. Anyway, I find the game's OST on niconico, download it, and try to upload it to youtube. Now, this is an obscure game from decades back, tied to a license that swiftly failed without achieving anything notable, and none of the material involved ever left Japan. Naturally, it gets copyright struck within minutes of being uploaded, was made unviewable, and I've taken it down.
Not trying to complain since, yes, I don't own any of that content, just trying to say that obscurity is not a guarantee of even the slightest bit of safety when it comes to youtube copyright robots.
Hardbass tends to be a great choice for background music and the authors tend to be really chill, not to mention that it makes your videos significantly more cheeki breeki.
Manual claims requiring a time stamp is an absolute godsend. Remember to to dispute manual copyright claims, music companies back down when you fight back, they just hope you're too scared to. Even under the new system they'll claim far more of the video than they own, just give em the middle finger it's worked for me a dozen times.
Once I got a copyright claim on a video that had In the Hall of the Mountain King playing in the background. I disputed the claim as the audio was public domain, and it was accepted and my video went back up.
I was wondering what how do covers fair in the copyright field? (For both the cover artsist smuggling songs and the youtubers smuggling covers for their videos), thanks!
I had a video get claimed for the intro narration for the game Dune(CD). The claim was by a German band from the 90s that had sampled the narrator for the beginning of their awful techno song. They refused to release the claim and that video is unavailable in most regions to this day.
-We're stealing from those who have too much for a reason we feel is justified. -We have to deal with a system that is becoming increasingly more complex in stopping our activities. -We have to come up with increasingly more convoluted ways to route this system. -The system will always catch up with us. -We have to keep moving.
I love that you told people about game soundtracks being usable without punishment. I figured that out when I started my channel back in may and using strictly nintendo songs (theres quite alot variety) I havent gotten a single strike. Try it out guys!!
at this point staying unclaimed is so god damn hard, i'm surprised there aren't more memes about it. "what do you mean? its easy, just Don't Get Grabbed™"
22:46 That use of TF2 MvM advertising music made me fail No Nut November. Thanks a lot, EmpLemon. But all jokes aside, great video and use of music as both examples and quality background tracks.
I don’t think this was mentioned in the video but a lot of youtubers have their network claim their videos for them so they will get at least half of the revenue from the video, and if they’re feeling a little more obnoxious they will claim their videos multiple times so they will get more of the revenue
The vaporwave music section reminds me of all of Pyrocynical's videos being striked for beachwalk by Whitewoods being played in his outro, truly a brutal and broken system.
It's weird how music is worth anything soon as it's made in copyright claim it's impossible to make something new out of it. If it cannot be transformed into something new what's the worth in it too begin with yes I know a lot of people like or love music that doesn't mean the studio or the person who made it gets stuck on others.
Face cam doesn’t necessarily make you immune for example companies like Nintendo will still take the video down if your reacting to the new Pokemon trailer for example, but you can avoid this by playing the trailer at like .25x
16:40 unfortunately, the YT audio library cannot even be trusted. If any of you have heard about Matt Lowne, you’d understand YT is directly lying to him. It’s pathetic
Copyright should only be a thing if someone would reasonably be viewing the video to consume that content. No one is going to watch a 20 minute daily vlog for the 15 seconds of some song being played in the car in the background as the person talks. I also think content claims shouldn't be all or nothing. If copyrighted content makes up 10% of the video's run time, why should they get the other 90% of the revenue? They shouldn't.
I think what flared the Content ID in the SpongeBob Never-Ever, was that the "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" from the beginning of the SpongeBob Theme was in the "Krusty Krab Trap Remix" used in the episode.
I know of a ring on YouTube involving uploads of adult cartoons such as Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, etc. They use clips up to 60 seconds long per scene while cutting bits and pieces out from between the scenes. The videos run from 10-15 minutes each. Almost everyone I've seen has ads.
The sad thing about video game music... is that it too is being claimed. Nintendo is done with people using their music and shut down several channels posting it. So... ugh.
Also if the song is older than the authors life + 70 years. Aka classical music doesn’t really have any rights if you rip it from an original recording
I recorded a Portal gameplay and it was silenced on one point by MERLIN. Who's MERLIN? I have no idea. And Infernoplus got a copyright claim for the Animal Crossing theme apparently from a rando
Oh hi, Internet Historian. My favorite youtuber showed up on another video by my favorite youtuber.

Before YouTube provided their own royalty free music, I bought "royalty free" music off itunes and what do you know, COPYRIGHT STRIKE! The worst part is, it happened on my viral documentary! My video was getting so much traffic, YouTube's editor couldn't remove the 10 seconds of music! I probably lost around 15,000 dollars off that claim. YouTube finally updated their editing feature to be able to mute music from viral videos and I only found out because of Pewdiepie. Within hours the same guy tried to claim my video back and failed. Huge thanks to Pewdiepie, it's funny that out of anyone, his goofy videos ended up making me money lol
Nothing to do with youtube, I'm not English native and I tend to watch movies in English, the thing is if I can't find it, I have search watch it with subtitles in Spanish and I have at least 70% more chances to find it.
What's that track around 22 minutes in? It sounds so fucking familiar but I can't put my finger on it Edit: am an idiot, moment it got close to the climax I immediately realized it was mega man 2s opening theme
pretty much. The original purpose of copyright was to give people who take the time to produce inventions, creative works, etc. a time period where they can make money uncontested, because it's easier for the market to look at something original and make a cheap knockoff than for somebody to spend real time and effort to make something new. It was a genuinely good idea, but it's out of hand now.
I've personally put out videos for the soul purpose of playing with the content ID systems ability to detect music. Long story short, I've found that dividing a song into short reversed clips played in order is detectable, but playing a recording like that backwards is undetectable
Experimenting with making my own background music for my videos, from small numbers, to the theme, to even longer segments, has somewhat countered the music copyright side of things on my videos, but I can still get claimed on some things that aren't even there, or technically don't qualify.
Edit: On the use of Classical Music, I've one video that has a claim still on it for using Spring Awakening, a score that is supposed to be Public Domain. Oh well, I suppose.
@EmpLemon The segment about shortening bits of clips up to 5 seconds makes a lot of sense in the long run. There are countless videos of wrestling highlights on the platform that use this strategy.
What if you padded the music with junk data outside the range of human hearing (eg, ultrasound and infrasound)? Should be imperceptible to humans but make it look completely different when just analyzing the raw audio data like the algorithm presumably does.
I’d like to point out Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik’s legendary fix to this problem by simply using as many copyrighted material as possible in a video and then letting the corporations have to struggle to claim who’s it really is. Ingenious solution.
Could you potentially create a video with some copyrighted video or music in it, speed it up or slow it down to, for example, 0.5x speed or 1.5x speed, and tell your viewers in the description to play the entire video on that speed? That way, you can't get copyrighted, and the viewer can still watch and listen to the same thing.
I can maybe 1-up you on the erroneous music claims. I uploaded a 45-55m long video which contained a <7s clip of Charlton Heston saying "from my cold dead hands" and the entire video was was claimed and monetized by some extreme underground rap group that I could barely even find any information about, that's how obscure they were. Hail empress Susan.
1:43 Hey! The old ‘Piracy is Stealing’ message!! Damn, I didn’t think such a powerful wave of nostalgia could be contained in such a small snibbit of a video.
This happened to Dee Jay Punk Roc who sampled a Quincy episode in their record "I Hate Everybody." Someone uploaded it, and content detection said it contained a sample of a song that sampled "I Hate Everybody." ...because "I Hate Everybody" contains itself.
Also I saw a bootleg of a really bad anime that has horrible music looping in an overlay.
I cannot count how many times I - a nobody with <2k subs - have been copyright claimed by rap labels because I used the same public domain music they sampled.
If a different video hosting site came out that couldn't be as profitable as YouTube, would you guys switch to it? Or would you stay here and face the ever closing grasp of YouTube limitations?
Or both, i feel like a lot of YouTuber's should jump ship to a smaller video hosting site and take the temporary loss until ads can properly pay them, but likewise i feel like a lot of YouTubers will stay here and keep complaining.
I know i wouldn't mind using a different app to watch a YouTuber as long as they did it
I feel like EmpLemon is Public Enemy #1 to YouTube, like how there's a guy who technically doesn't do anything wrong in a town so the police can't arrest him, but he's still an asshole. Not to say you're an asshole, just using an analogy. And now, because I said YouTube in this comment, my account will be deleted because I forgot to copy paste the fair use law 10 times.
9:45 I thought using the images to depict the wwe footage was to put a cool edit in there but damn I didn’t know you were using that to dodge copyright
Nintendo has actually stopped copyrighting Gameplay videos, the only things they do now are taking down entire song uploads of their games, using their songs on videos seems to work just fine.
If I were running for President, I'd be running on a platform of drastically scaling back copyright law. Probably wouldn't win but at least it would raise awareness.
Note about music, even music from YOUTUBES OWN CONTENT LIBRARY isnt safe, Matt Lowne is about to get his channel nuked for using music APPROVED BY YOUTUBE
Hmm, 22:46, i gotta love that TF2 soundtrack. I swear to god, I think its one of the best game soundtracks ever. Its up there with Cuphead, Halo 2, Payday 2, Mario Odyssey, Journey, Undertale (and of course a few others).
Oh man Music is damn near impossible. You can’t even upload a video of you playing more than 5 seconds of the eagles or Led Zeppelin on your guitar without getting taken down
9:21 Another example was when someone uploaded a movie screening of Joker with an Avengers border. It got recommended to me and 1,000's more watching Joker related content and got deleted a couple days after upload, most likely due to people reporting the video
I don't monetize, but I still get some claims of the song and took away ads. Well first, I actually don't care if they take away my ads, because I don't monetize. And second, I just make videos for fun.
Every time someone uses a Kevin Macleod song unironically instead of just asking one of the millions of EXTREMELY WILLING small artists for permission to use a song/even a full album for free (usually the cost being linking them in the credits); god kills a kitten and writes the uploader's name on it's gravestone.
I once posted a clip containing the song "I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots. I knew it would get copyright claimed. It did, but youtube said it was a completely different song by completely different people. 200 IQ MOVE YOUTUBE
For your next episode of never ever do you think you could do something regarding either Freddie Mercury or Elton John because both are one-of-a-kind and only one of the two are still living
your password or the one you showed on the screen is we live in a society edit: I didn't watched any latter revile when I answer however I forget that the one who set the password is an outstander so yeah mission failed we'll get'em next time
I'm a godzilla fan, and i havent seen a old godzilla movie, like ever. Except a portion of godzilla vs spacegodzilla on cable. But this one video, i dont know how. It is literally the entire Godzilla vs king ghidorah english dub. It is on Youtube. I dont how it exists, but it does.
9:40 Ooh, that's a good one, I'll have to remember it. That said, I think having to use a series of images for that Mankind moment is probably, and very unfortunately, what makes the Monday Night Raw NEVER EVER the least impactful of the series. Not being able to use the one main clip that really proves your point in its entirety really hurt the message and impact, which is both damn shame, and yet another reason to despise ContentID.
Thank you osu for introducing me to a lot of music that isn't claimed. Since it's a rhythm game, utilizing music as its gameplay the game can still be tough as hell to not get claimed. It doesn't apply to myself but the community as a whole has been hit by it many times.
I honestly believe you are the best youtuber on this website. Please know that what you have done for this site is so helpful. You are literally the definition of perfection in everyway shape, and form.
I remember in like 2010 I had the oldest, most underpowered PC in the world. 240p was my saviour. 360p was just too much to handle. Constant stuttering and lag.
Still, I loved that bag of crap. It was an emulators paradise. 1000's of games from the 90's from loads of 80's and 90's consoles and computers. Alas the hard drive (80gb) ran out of steam.
Dear god i love you videos. Can't wait episode 3 of this series. I honestly think this series it's better and more interesting than the new Watchman in HBO. Keep it up Emp.
after just the 1st minute's edits. I can tell this is gonna be a good one. Also I'm glad to finally have a new video from you. It sucks that the vids take so long but the quality is worth every wait
One thing I've noticed is that most of the chiptune music you use is actually made with a program called GXSCC, which turns MIDI files into chiptune. So if you wanted to, you could just find a midi of the song and convert it yourself. Another option is to record playback of the midi itself through stereo mix. Of course, the downside of this is that the soundpack that windows uses to play midi, GS Wavetable synth, is easily identifiable by this point and is notorious for how corny and undynamic the instrument samples sound, so the best option would be to play it through a program called VirtualMIDISynth, which hijacks the midi player and replaces the GS Wavetable synth soundfont with any soundfont you load into it. If you don't know what a soundfont is, it's like a compact file which stores samples of instruments for use in music programs like FL Studio or Ableton. They are often ripped from super nintendo games and such, the most famous example being the iconic guitar sound from megalovania, which is actually ripped from the earthbound soundtrack. The file extension for a soundfont is .sf2, and you can find a lot of soundfonts on websites like digital artifacts, where you can get any video game soundfont, even from relatively obscure games like ghost trick. Hope this helped
20:50 and that's why video game music is the purest form of music. Isn't made for "muh art,muh symbolism,muh deep meaning". Isn't made for political bullshit. Isn't made to sell products(the biggest games don't sell soundtracks) Isn't made bland beat to club to It's simple made to be good music to listen to.
Internet Historian’s story reminds me of the time that I uploaded a speedpaint in 2015 using a song from Panty and Stocking in the background. In 2018, I got a copyright claim because some chump sampled the song from PSG... in a song in 2018. Somehow I “stole” their song three years before it was published.
I make villain tributes and I use Copyright images and I've never gotten in trouble in my life. This is such a stupid issue also love your newest videos Emplemon and YouTube just got harder with COPPA law.
It's so strange to consider "using a song in a video" "smuggling". If I'm using the music for any purpose besides blatant fraudulent redistribution, I feel like I should be well within my rights; Besides downright piracy I don't really understand what the problem is. It's like getting getting a house party SWAT-ed because I played a Taylor Swift CD, it's absurd.
I once had a vaporwave edited photo I made which was used on a Future Funk music video, this video got a shit ton of views and I caught wind of it after I found it. I spoke directly to the uploader asking if I could have credit for the photo and they refused other than linking an imgur photo (which they took from my reddit).
That royalty free music claim reminds me of a legal term which means after the fact perventing people doing something legal then the law changes it to be illegal to be protected but i guess isnt smart enough to make this a rule
Wait, does this mean that the Simpsons are green to dodge copyright? I always thought it was meant to showcase how we just accept that the Simpsons being yellow is normal.
Matt Lowne does Gameplay Videos of Kerbal Space Program and used in almost all of his videos a provided song by the Youtube Collection. A week ago or so all of his videos got claimed because he used this song. So basically Youtube gives creators a song to use for several years and one day to another it belongs to Sony Entertainment again and your life is fucked.
How to make free money: 1. make 30 second song with nothing but silence. 2. publish the song 3. claim the shit out of every youtube vids with silent moments!
Copyright should be like the american legal system in the sense where if it is subject to copyright far after it was put in a video, it shouldn't matter.
9:22 I seen that same background used in some video for the Santa Clause movie with Tim Allen shown in class when we had a Substitute teacher for Spanish. I question why we need subs when they are only useful for making us do boring non-school stuff and making classes more noisy than ever before. :\
Either that, or fork your money over to Nord VPN, which would likely act as a meat shield since that's a sponsored video. Turns out, any video sponsored by companies are protected from the easily exploitable copyright ID system. So either pack it up or sell your soul to a to a copyright sponsor (quote) "for the sake of society" (endquote).
Before I forget, two classical pieces of music are (strangely enough) protected from Copyright ID. These are Little Fugue in G Minor (it's too chaotic for the system to pick up), and "Come, Sweet Death" (A certain remix throws Copyright ID off because of it's tempo, you can thank a giant purple people eating robot for that).
can people in the comments stfu about COPPA lol. you guys are making it worse than it actually is. chill. if you want to know emp's opinion, check his twitter, he tweeted about it.
I know you probably won’t see this comment because it isn’t a shitty reddit text based meme that always gets top comment, but I had a question. Are you worried about the new FTC, COPPA mandated rules on youtube and how it might affect your channel considering you use media in your content that children would find “appealing”.
Copyrighted music degenerates in it's level so quick that if you take a shot of your toilet. Either Nintendo, Katy Perry or I, will get a revenue share!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way........

When the RIAA tried to kill youtube-dl (until a few days ago was restored), people have found ways to distribute the software similar to the DECSS, by disguise them into different files.

0 likesThe pacing and music in particular
As a channel who’s been posted a lot of copyrighted content for years now, I guess I’ll pitch in and tell what I have learned:
1053 likesI’ve never been a fan of royalty-free music (hate it, in fact), so I’ve found some good alternative sources for copyright-free music:
-Video game soundtracks (almost always claim free, rare exceptions)
-Mixtapes (Most times claim free, if it’s not on Spotify, that’s a good sign)
-Bootlegs/unreleased demos (most times copyright free, good luck finding them though)
-Remixes/covers/fan recreations/instrumentals (Sometimes works, risky, works better for songs that aren’t super well known)
-some songs slowed down actually sound better (especially if it’s a genre like Drill and Bass)
-Some ‘self-released’ music isn’t copyrighted on YouTube (such as music by Lil Ugly Mane)
-Live versions of songs (Sometimes works if the live performance you use isn’t very well known, Peel sessions are also great for this)
Generally, if a song posted on youtube is copyrighted, you can look at the bottom of the video description and you will often see a song listed (this doesn’t apply if you’re on an [Artist - Topic] channel, when a song gets copyrighted on YouTube, those videos are automatically uploaded)
Now, as I am a channel that deals in sports content, that’s an area I’ll also cover:
NFL - at least 15-20 seconds and your video will be claimed within a week, if not, right away
MLB/NBA/NHL - In my experience, if it’s not claimed right away it most likely won’t get claimed at all (be careful with NBA though, channels that post full highlights of games have been known to get terminated)
College Football - At least 10 seconds and you’re claimed within 24 hours, case sensitive though, as multiple different companies own the broadcast rights to college football, so sometimes you may never get claimed.
International sports (such as Soccer and Olympics) - Extremely case sensitive, don’t know much about this field as I do not post it often.
Sports shows (such as Sports Center) - If you post full top 10 countdowns, your channel can get terminated (RIP Mespin & TheMagicMan), but if you include a short bit of a countdown, your video will most likely not get claimed.
You almost never receive full-on copyright strikes for uploading sports broadcast clips. Unless, of course, you upload the full broadcasts.

0 likesI wanna try making videos and I started my year by making a shitty Onision meme vocoded to songs from Evangelion, specifically Cruel Angel's Thesis, Komm, Susser Todd and Fly Me To The Moon. It was very quickly claimed, blocked and struck. It completely sapped me of my drive to actually go through with another Eva related project I was starting to work on. This guide will come in hand for avoiding situations like it in the future.
Honestly for the safest approach to the music problem possible while still preventing content from being bland, use royalty free music that is relatively obscure. There’s a lot more out there than you think, and the more types of songs you have the less bland it will seem. Hell, most people don’t even realize that it’s royalty free due to how obscure it is. It doesn’t even have to come from obscure artists, certain artists have made tens of thousands of works.
1 likeAlternatively another solution is to just not have music at all. On paper it sounds like an awful idea but sometimes the structure of the video, theme of the video, and many other things can let you get away with this. However keep in mind that this option is very situational regardless, and if you feel like your content could benefit from music then I highly suggest you use it.
The music copyright system literally killed my first two Youtube channels.
1 likeTIP FOR MASKING INSTRUMENTALS: If you want to obfuscate the instrumental track you're using in order to bypass copyright, add an EQ to the track and clip out as much of the high and low frequencies as you feel comfortable with, then add some record static. I've found this to be fairly effective in multiple occasions, adding a small pitch shift doesn't hurt either!
911 likesReplies (9)
Hell, Using Invert/EQ, you could take out or muffle the drums from a track. Obviously how good it sounds after that depends entirely on the track.
24 likesAnother neat trick you could use. If your sound source is stereo ( in most cases it is ) you can null out and remove the 'center channel' fairly simply.
27 likesThe center channel consists of content that is equal amplitude on both the left and right sides of the audio.
Things like bass drum, snare and the main vocals. It really depends on the decisions made during the mix process, so your mileage may vary.
To remove the center channel, you first need to make two mono tracks from the original stereo track. I'm not sure if you can use Audacity for this, but I know that you can do this with Ardour. Ardour is free and open source software.
Take your two mono tracks, time align them and reverse the polarity of one of the tracks. Everything that was once panned to the center now disappears. To bring back portions of the audio that is nulled out, add an equalizer to one of the tracks.
To bring the kick drum back, use a high pass filter. This keeps the low end from canceling out during the summing process.
Hope this helps
@Anatomy Of The Mix this is really neat advice, I'll try this out for myself next chance I get. Thank you!!!

Making your background songs into nightcores are also a good solution for using copyrighted music. Yes, Those anime high pitched remixes of songs amount to something.

In other words, the copyright would then outlive the creator by orders of magnitude - but who knows. I mean, at this point, there's no telling what Disney is gonna do next.

0 likesFor some reason yesterday the Youtube Algorithm decided to recommend me your Dale Earnhardt video and I decided to watch it. I deeply enjoyed the video and finished it not noticing that it was 50+ minutes long. I then decided to watch your Spongebob video, which was also stellar. Then your part 1 of this series caught my attention, but I convinced myself not to watch it because I knew that I would immediately want to watch part 2. But considering that part 1 had already been released for 2+ months - and a quick glance at your infrequent (no offence) upload schedule - I assumed I would be waiting a while for the sequel to roll around. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this video being released today. I thought "What luck! A mere day after discovering this great Youtuber, I am blessed with the follow-up to a series I am interested in with no painstaking gestation period!". So you can imagine my heartbreak when I discovered that a part 3 is in the works. I implore you to take the time necessary to complete this series so as to retain the standard of quality throughout, just remember to wake me up when it has reached its close. (I did have to use a thesaurus at least 5 times writing this comment).

About music, I'm curious how you can find whole un-edited songs and even entire ALBUMS on this site that were uploaded over a DECADE ago.

People who had an instinct to own (or have permission for) the content of the video they upload. YT never enforced this.

How do you not know? do you not realize that for example in Minecraft the very textures in the game are copyrighted images, and all blocks in the game use those copyrighted images, and Minecraft is full of those blocks, which means that your screen is literally full of copyrighted Minecraft textures. Also a scenes from games may have visual backgrounds, which guess what, are copyrighted images.

0 likesI was waiting a while for part 2 to come out since your first part was really educational. But you are misleading people a lot. In the beginning you are saying things like "copyright of images hasn't been enforced a lot" which is 100% false, and also implying that saving a image from a browser is somehow violating copyright. Copyright law does not affect private use; so that previous statement makes no sense. You also mislead more in the video when talking about video-game footage, implying that companies don't own the content portrayed in a youtuber's video. In reality, the youtuber owns the digital file that they recorded; which even then, is not freely made as it uses multiple pieces of software that have permissive licenses or something similar to a permissive license. But in order to post the content online, you still need to be within copyright intent of the people who own the copyright. These are all obvious points if you have read copyright law. What questions would be more relevant might be like, what abstracts allow us to link copyright law with various media formats. Like how can an arbitrary law apply differently to a book versus a online video, etc. Also, you could point out the biggest issue, which is youtube's handling of copyright law isn't to protect YOUR rights, but to rather keep themselves from getting into legal trouble, and how they can let other companies piggyback them to gain profits, like how UMG has been doing in the past year. And basically content creators can't do anything about it when their profits get claimed, even if the claim is not legal/done in a legal way.

Maybe they've gotten smarter about that, but it used to work pretty well from what I hear.

Nintendo gives a strike for uploading what belongs to you
There is something to be said about some games being uploaded online though. Detroit: Become Human and other titles are pretty much movies, and when people upload uninterrupted cuts of the entire gameplays without any commentary or altering. You can’t argue that that isn’t serving as a substitute for buying the game, it’s not just free promotion.

0 likestbh, general IP laws are actually highly abusive and are prone to generating monopolies. In fact the funny thing about IP laws is that the term IP, intellectual property, was used as a refutation of the laws, long before it represented the subject by proponents of it, for trying to enforce applying ideas into law and thus making thoughts own-able property. Honestly I think IP law should die.

Actually your song can somehow lead to more views and more more money. But why taking all of money from video? Maybe it would be better if the revenue going to owner would depend on how long song played in your video

0 likes@krerm I'm a fan of the Creative Commons Attribution license until we can repeal copyright, but copyright is based on fundamentally flawed thinking that inevitably leads to bad things happening. A music creator should never have any say over what a video creator can or can't create and they should never be allowed to extort money from a video creator no matter the circumstances.

You can always stick to module music. There's a variety of them and it's easy to use them and credit the creator since most of them are dead or don't care or want the publicity. I would go for any track that you can find on YouTube uploaded by a nobody that hasn't gotten claimed. I personally prefer this method because they're better sounding than a midi, but still have that old vintage computer music feel. and there's a stock pile of these out there. Also some of them tend to be remixes of old pop music, so be careful.

Use file > open to open the file.

set your settings and export it as a normal music file you can use anywhere.
or you can use a YouTube video downloader to download a YouTube video with the song in it.

Thanks for reading! Hope this helps.
When it comes to smuggling audio, I once found a channel that would fuck with the outputs of the audio somehow so that it could only be recognized on headphones. Anything else and the audio would be nonresistant.
0 likesAs soon as i saw you talk about protected songs such as jimi hendrix i remembered to put a thumbs up on the video. It's a shame really, usually when i use music it's in the background of a game montage (and i usually use music i like, not generic dubstep stuff to avoid copyright/appeal to children), and it's fine by me when i get copyright claimed for revenue, but when the video gets completely blocked in all countries to the point where you can't view it, it's a huge problem. Thank you for sharing, emp.

0 likesThe collective ownership over the means of production is pretty sick bro
0 likesTrout Mask Replica is a pretty good source if you want to use copyrighted music without the repercussions. The original owners/producers (Beefheart and Zappa) are dead, and YouTube's bots don't even pick up tracks from that album as music. And, tracks can be distorted or edited without altering audience perception music. Track 15 works particularly well for this. (Oh, and you probably won't have to deal with claims from the current owners, as Zappa's kids don't typically enforce unless you're performing the music at a paid show without permission.)

0 likesUMG tried to copyright claim me a while ago for a song from Minecraft, claiming it was from a song in the 1920s. I had to threaten YouTube with legal action for them to actually recognize that it was a false claim and the claim was removed shortly after the legal threat was sent. THAT is how bad the Copyright system is in YouTube nowadays.

0 likesAlso, I had a video get taken down worldwide once, the highlighted footage a low res clip of “this is your brain on drugs” with some slight meme edits. In the claim they cited a media claim, but their source was some music video from a German pop artist that I’ve never even heard of. Not to mention the video itself legitimately used a copyright song already, so I had no prospects of it being monetized and this was the leverage I used to get the video back up. I still don’t understand how such a thing like this is possible, I’ll post screencaps of the claim if anyone cares.
0 likesThen just recently (literally my last upload) got copyright claimed even though it was a poorly synced acapella parody over a midi cover with horns and bells... originally from a power metal song... Even the system detected it as a cover originally and they were STILL able to claim the revenue for my parody
The question on my mind now is: Did this video get copyright claimed?

0 likesI have had an experience with getting claimed for using the same audio that someone else sampled in their song.
In 2013, a friend and I took part in a project at school. He made two clips in Movie Maker which were essentially slideshows of pictures with text over them, and had one of the Windows 7 sample music tracks playing in the background. I had a YouTube account, so we uploaded the videos to my channel for our teacher to embed on the project's website.
Six years later, they get claimed (the videos are unlisted, so it was probs ContentID). Why? Because they contained some song by an African rapper I had never heard of. Except they didn't, the rapper had sampled the track from Windows 7 that the friend used.
Most of the embedded content on the project's site is now missing, but I wanted to make at least these two clips were still available. Thus, these videos are in no way monetized and I sure as hell didn't want someone else's ads playing on them. In addition, I'm not sure what the copyright status for the original song is, but I have the feeling that my friend wasn't allowed to use it in the first place, so I went the easy route of replacing the music with some ambient tracks from YT's audio library.
Reasons why I have waited so long to make a YouTube channel. Can't wait for part 3 of Copyright School, Emp.
0 likessome of the best content around, you're a national treasure
0 likesoh shoot we're gonna have part 3? love this can't wait !
0 likesCan’t wait for part three next year. But really though, I’m excited for part three of this since I’ve not seen YouTubers talk about copyright on the company’s side. I mean yeah the system is awful but companies like Nintendo have that right to claim those videos or actual musicians claiming the remixes of songs people make. Does that make the internet less fun for us, yeah but how would you like it when random people enter your house eat all your food and piss in your sink all the while taking advantage of your income with only a few giving thanks to you? Also they spit on your dog for good measure, and maybe kiss you good night too I don’t know. The downward spiral pulls all sorts of people.
0 likesKSP youtuber Matt Lowne used music provided by YouTube in the audio library, but recently they simply removed the song from the library and copyright claimed every single video he had ever made. A couple of days ago he received a copyright strike, and is in risk of losing his channel.

0 likesThe fun part about the music copyright system is seeing people trying creative ways to upload the songs without getting them removed. You can try searching for Fire Emblem Three Houses OSTs and see memes like "This video is definitely not <Insert the track name>" as Nintendo was actively removing these videos during the release of the game.
0 likesI think YouTube watches your video and purposefully updates enough to where you can make more videos
0 likesI used to have some videos uploaded that were recordings of events i took part of in eve online. Important to me and i think historically relevant to my corp (read guild) Brave Newbies Inc. But when someone talked the faintest whisper of a song could be heard at one point. I was struck and not given the option to dispute the claim only to accept it, which would have gotten me a strike. With the two videos that would have been 2 strikes on my channel. Today the videos are gone because that was my only option, to delete them, to erase that history forever.
0 likes2 months for part 2? inb4 3 months for part 3. Amazing series, I need more of it
0 likesThis was a nice video. But about the music copyright part,I don't understand is why there are plenty of full audios and lyrics videos on YouTube.

I just don't get it.

0 likesI remember reading something about Undertale fans producing handmade plushies and putting them on sale. Toby Fox was advised that handmade products made in small quantities wouldn't damage the game's profits. Only mass-produced dolls being sold unofficially without any kind of license. I don't remember if he explicitly consented to the plushies, but he certainly didn't take action against the fans in question.
0 likesWith this case in mind, I think the simplest way to cut out 90% of this copyright bullshit is to make it so that when a video is de-monetized, the user's share of the money doesn't go to the content holder.
That way, content holders can claim copyright on material that genuinely threatens their business, but can't exploit the system and trash some benign youtuber's account for a quick buck, putting it much more in line with what copyright protection is supposed to do I.E suppress piracy, and what fair use stands for I.E freedom of expression.
The only problem with this is the question of where that money should go. Anyone who gets the money will have a vested interest in seeing other people's videos taken down and will likely be just as unaccountable for the abuse of such a right as the content holders are now.
If advertisers get the money, Youtubers will be monetized only to have their money taken right back as soon as the ads outlive their usefulness.
This means new, profitable videos with high traffic will have a grace period while smaller and older videos will be sucked dry.
If Youtube gets the money, they will cull the herd more viciously and efficiently than anyone else ever could.
If some other third party gets the money, this may be the best way of ensuring impartiality, but what entity could possibly be sufficiently entitled and responsible for such a right?
All of this has come about because creators are the ones who make content, but the advertisers are the ones who actually turn the content into business. Sites like Patreon are more successful in cultivating quality content creators because the creators themselves have independence.

0 likesYou can't retroactively change the license of something you've given out.
If someone gives you, or you download from their website something that is CC, that license remains even if they change their mind the next day.
It's a fools errand as well, since you'd have to prove they downloaded it from YOU AFTER the switch, and not you before, or someone else (Since CC allows redistributing).

0 likesFor those who has trouble on the copyrighted music, try using music that has not been released on its own publicly (not on album). The easiest way of this is to use video game music that has no soundtrack release (the entirety of Follin bros. works, vaporware games, games with unknown fates in terms of copyright ownership).
0 likesThis is just my theory though, which came from on how music that risk your video to get copyright claim need to be registered and it's more likely that music that is not used on any album to not get registered.

My keyboard playing nerd brain exploded at that ELP reference. That song is so amazingly memeworthy.
0 likesOkay, so... I have a lets play series that uses fairly long segments of music. The only videos out of 20 so far to be claimed... are ones that use songs from Fallout 3 in this Fallout 4 series. Howeaver, videos using other songs not from that game are 100% fine, and I figured out why.
0 likesThe content ID system is VERY sensitive to the actual frequency band signature of a song in its registry. It has to be. If it was able to follow more than a very very narrow signature, it would be flagging simmilar sounding music as being song X, not song Y. It could even flag people talking as music. This means a slight audio effect, even so much as making a song sound like it's coming from a radio by giving it a mild high and low cut and some EQ... prevents CID from registering the song. Even if you use all of it.
So if you give music a vintage audio filter the system can't catch it (Using audacity or other proper audio editing programs, not an app, which could embed other signatures for ID into the finished piece). I find this really amusing.
I can't wait for my music to get around enough that rogue youtubers use it w/o my permission. Coz they totally have my permission.

0 likesDude, Emplemon is still making some of the best content on YouTube. Real glad he works as hard as he does on these vids.
0 likesI was waiting for this video, thanks emp for being a consistent content created, even if it usually takes 2 months
0 likesSome other forms of copyright smuggling when I was researching this months ago is that scrapped/unreleased songs even eps from an artist/band seem to be not detected. Besides gaming music Gamers and Weebs rally since some not all anime songs don't get claimed such as Jojo's part 4 soundtrack seems to be fine on my end.
1 likeThanks EmpLemon, your help in navigating the murky waters of copyright has been an interesting to look at. For me, most if not all of the claims are music related. The music of the YouTube audio library is way too bland for me. I'd rather use music that fits my own tastes, even if they aren't popular in any shape or form.
0 likesThanks, EmpLemon, for warning me about all of these ways I could potentially be "breaking the law" (on the level of going 1 mph above the speed limit, like you said) by sharing images that no one is actually trying to sell or restrict. Now I can avoid falling into these behaviors. It's just like how my pressed-grape brick that I bought during Prohibition gave me instructions for things not to do to avoid turning it into wine, which of course would also be against the law.

P.S. Love that Vinheteiro clip
emp lemon makes some of the best content on the internet im so glad this is free
0 likesFrom my experience, it's ALWAYS major labels that are tied to these claims, even when I'm utilizing much of the strategies in this video that would in theory qualify my videos as meeting fair use guidelines. It's hardly ever anyone else BUT major labels. I talk about music on my channel, and back in March, I had a whole slew of claims filed on countdowns I've made. They were ALL from Sony, Universal, and... shudders Warner. This is a big part of why I respect independent labels a shitload more than major labels. They're pretty much the only companies I ever get claims from outside of the one time Viacom blocked a countdown I made about Hey Arnold worldwide, and some other select instances from some other label.
0 likesOne thing you said in this video that makes me think a lot is when you said "As your channel grows, so too does your risk of encountering copyright claims." I see many reviewers and commentators, "fair-users" as you called them in Part 1, get slaughtered with claims, especially around that time back in March, and I sometimes wonder if I'm getting off easy compared to them because I'm a much smaller channel. Kinda makes me glad I don't do this as a job because dealing with that would be way too stressful. If I get claimed, I'm not really gonna care because I just want people to be able to view my content, but in theory, channels like ours shouldn't be treated like the bootleggers.
Solid video. Can't wait for Part 3!
P.S. Maybe the Spongebob theme got detected in your video because of the "OOOOH" that you hear briefly in the trap beat that plays before you show Squidward dabbing? It's dumb either way that that happened since it's barely a full second of the thing, but just a thought.
Hey... back when the claiming was really bad and anyone could file a claim and get the money for your vid, could you have technically created a fake copyright channel or something, copyright your own video and ensure that you get your money by circumventing other people claiming your vid?

0 likesOoh, I got a good youtube copyright story.
1 likeSo, a few weeks back, I learn about this old Japan-only Sega CD game named 'Funky Horror Band'. It was a licensed game based multimedia project from the early/mid 90s about a band of strange creatures from outer space.
Anyway, I find the game's OST on niconico, download it, and try to upload it to youtube.
Now, this is an obscure game from decades back, tied to a license that swiftly failed without achieving anything notable, and none of the material involved ever left Japan. Naturally, it gets copyright struck within minutes of being uploaded, was made unviewable, and I've taken it down.
Not trying to complain since, yes, I don't own any of that content, just trying to say that obscurity is not a guarantee of even the slightest bit of safety when it comes to youtube copyright robots.
Hardbass tends to be a great choice for background music and the authors tend to be really chill, not to mention that it makes your videos significantly more cheeki breeki.
0 likesManual claims requiring a time stamp is an absolute godsend. Remember to to dispute manual copyright claims, music companies back down when you fight back, they just hope you're too scared to.

pretty much. The original purpose of copyright was to give people who take the time to produce inventions, creative works, etc. a time period where they can make money uncontested, because it's easier for the market to look at something original and make a cheap knockoff than for somebody to spend real time and effort to make something new. It was a genuinely good idea, but it's out of hand now.

0 likesCan i just take a moment to say how fucking good emplemon is at making videos.
1 likeOne thing I've noticed is that most of the chiptune music you use is actually made with a program called GXSCC, which turns MIDI files into chiptune. So if you wanted to, you could just find a midi of the song and convert it yourself. Another option is to record playback of the midi itself through stereo mix. Of course, the downside of this is that the soundpack that windows uses to play midi, GS Wavetable synth, is easily identifiable by this point and is notorious for how corny and undynamic the instrument samples sound, so the best option would be to play it through a program called VirtualMIDISynth, which hijacks the midi player and replaces the GS Wavetable synth soundfont with any soundfont you load into it. If you don't know what a soundfont is, it's like a compact file which stores samples of instruments for use in music programs like FL Studio or Ableton.
2 likesThey are often ripped from super nintendo games and such, the most famous example being the iconic guitar sound from megalovania, which is actually ripped from the earthbound soundtrack. The file extension for a soundfont is .sf2, and you can find a lot of soundfonts on websites like digital artifacts, where you can get any video game soundfont, even from relatively obscure games like ghost trick.
Hope this helped

It's so strange to consider "using a song in a video" "smuggling".
