Anyone else had this happen haha?

I guess there are much worse scenarios, like having the video taken down and/or account removed or whatever.

[TheRef]

I'd take it to peoples court...

[Rook]

lol, I used a song by The Klaxons. It's not like I asked permission haha.

[TheRef]

Youtube needs to get a life... Apparently they have nothing better to do... Than search vids, and throw out copyrights... douches to max...

[Rook]

I guess.

I keep the video though, so I don't really care. Nor was the sampler that good anyway haha.

[TheRef]

I'm still quite confused as to what the purpose of them doin that is... cept maybe advertising...

wow... are you retarded?

By using other people's music on your youtube vids, you're basically saying its yours, as you are the one responsible for the uploading.

Technically, they can't get any money out of you because you're not using their music for personal profit (hence why the loopkicks guys have to get permission before they could use any music on their DVD). They can however remove the video because you didnt gain permission before posting the video with w/e audio content.

They're doing it because its 'correct', as you dont have the rights to reproduce the music in any form.

[Taimatsu]

Actually, copyright is a huuuuge deal. I work in a print shop, and am required to take all of the knowledge courses based on copyright.

Just so you guys know, be careful with how you use other people's music. It can even be enough to be pressed with charges, fines, or even go to jail.

Now, with your everyday, standard tricking videos I would not be so paranoid in the slightest. Youtube has absolutely NO basis for profit with how we submit our videos, so there is no legal infringement. However, as you can see here, the original bands owning the song have the right to monitor its usage, and even "block" you from using it publicly.

So basically, if you are going to make a video with intentions of profit, MAKE SURE that the music choice was either created by you, or you get the owner's DIRECT permission on a written form.

haha, you got to it before me!

No, i'm not, lol, I understood that they cannot profit off of it... But even if they copyright it, they still will not profit will they? This was my thought process, originally... They could advertise, but how could they get $$$ from doing that???

[TKD_Andy]

urgh...

you dont have permission to use the music.

its got nothing to do with advertising.

its as simple as that.

[TheRef]

I dont think you understood the point I was trying to convey... anyways, I understand...

[dpitlock]

EVERYONE GETS THESE!

[Taimatsu]

To theref: Copyright is a LAW. Laws keep order. People are encouraged to follow laws. If laws are not followed, people get angry. If people are angry, because laws are not being followed, the ignorant get fucked.

No money involvement. That's the most basic explanation I can offer.

[TheRef]

right... I do understand that, Taimatsu, I was simply looking at the situation from a different point of view at first...

[Flowers]

I've had a couple of videos blocked already from that. It sucks = /. They did have Prince in the background though.

[Rook]

ah, shit.

[Skilzat85X]

You may look at it and be like "omg they need a life why are they bothering me", but if you were a producer of music, film, or whatever other media and people kept taking your crap, obviously without paying for it in most cases, and sticking it in their media for the world to see, you might get a little frustrated.

They can't just overlook this copyright, because then that would set a precedent of overlooking friggin everything, which they can't do. They need to protect the rights of artists, just as you want protection from the law in whatever other circumstances.

I was about to say something along these lines haha.

[Tim Hutchinson]

I've got 5 of these :(

[Kalvin]

I've gotten this message to, but like everyones said I dont think they really do anything, although they could if anyone cared much

[Scooba Dave]

theRef you'd be lost in this world without youtube

[mchitti]

they don't search your videos a machine does, It might just look at the sound waves, so if you used a compressor or added in background noise, it may have been unable to find it.

[DevinWho]

UMG got me too for a old video I made for my schools gymnastics team. They seized rights of it and put advertisements on it now

[mike111590]

it's very dumb. i got this like 5 times already. basically nothing happened. Youtube just informs you of it then keeps the video up hahaha

[Rook]

yeah, I wasn't like OSHIT YOO GUYZ WHUT DO I DO??!?!? I was just curious to see if anyone else gets them.

[shengoikee]

some people think they've just been contacted directly by music artists etc haha

it's quite funny

[TysonTF]

I got it because i used the song 'The Art Of Losing' by American Hi-Fi. I sure did. Not that it really effects you. So I didn't?

[TheRef]

theRef you'd be lost in this world without youtube

idk... just keeps me from being bored on occasions...

[Mr Lane!]
