I got a copyright claim on *my own music,* disputed the claim, and because KZfaq gives all the power to the _alleged copyrights holder,_ it got rejected. Great system, love it!

Oof the “I’m not angry I’m disappointed” is the ultimate shame trip.

Finally someone answered the questions that's nowhere on the internet!!! copyright claims that only block viewing in one territory don't affect the rest of the channel! Thanks for you help

I've experiencing 3 videos with copyright claim and i noticed nobody notice my video or not interested on my videos. But after watching this, i start to delete instead my videos and i gain views. Thanks for sharing mate. Love ya ❤️

Thanks for making a video on this! I was really confused between the difference in copyright claims and strikes! :)

Forgot to mention how this is used to silence criticism nowadays

Artist here! Got a copyright strike the other day since I had music in the background playing. It was copyright free music but apparently it’s only licensed for twitch livestreams and not KZfaq. I got striked for “spam/deceptive practices” which REALLY sucks. I’ve decided to completely leave music out of everything now because I really want to monetize my art. Really really hoping my monetization isn’t affected by this down the line. It’s frustrating how something like this gets a strike and yet there are THOUSANDS of videos out there of full length movies, tv shows and cartoons that pass by without a problem. Seems SUPER unfair

Who voted copyright disappeared

One of the issues with some of the "copyright claims" is that there are bot-sniffers that sniff out this data. At least when it comes to music. I can understand why, but to make a claim a human should have control of that, not a bot. Bots can flag. Humans can check, then claim. My church uploads the services on Sunday (the service is livestreamed on Facebook during the regular-church service time, and then uploaded to KZfaq afterwards for those that couldn't watch it live), and A LOT of the hymns are public domain, a lot of the tunes are public domain; the music used when we were not able to meet falls under the license my church has for this content (with some hymns as exceptions, but none of those exceptions have been used); when we were still able to meet in person: the organist is live-playing the music. The videos would still get copyright claims within seconds of the upload being completed and/or processed (I can't remember which). The only way someone could possibly do that is if their sitting there staring at a screen waiting for a "copyright breach." Which leads me to believe that it's not a real person: it is a bot. Regardless of the copyright claims, my church has a license to use the content (as mentioned above). It's "hilarious" when the "copyright owner" tries to argue back and say that "they still feel like it's their content." It's also hilarious when they try to claim that a portion of the video is "violating copyright" when there's another portion earlier in the video (or later) that uses that same hymn. It's "hilarious" that they try to make a claim on a hymn that doesn't even go by the name they claim.... It's also "hilarious" that they're trying to claim public domain content in the first place. Also keep in mind: some of the hymns, tunes, etc. are over 200 years old.... [Side note: I know about these claims because my father is the Pastor, and is the one that is running the KZfaq channel for the church, etc.]

one of my friend's friend had 22k subs on their channel and no copyright strikes or claims and their channel was terminated. He tweeted youtube but nothing happended. He is still not sure why his channel was terminated, and he probably lost a lot of revenue too.

so basically if you receive a 3rd strike but a year after the previous 2 strikes it wont result in your channel termintaion ?

Phew i got a copyright claim and thought i had to pay money . Idc if he puts ads or even takes it down . This really made me realived . Thank you

This is the first video that really gets deep into this. It’s and arduous but important topic! 🙏🏻

thanks, i panicked the moment i saw the words "copyright claim" under one of my videos and this video helped me to understand why those words appeared, thanks man

Thanks for informing me on the deference between copyright claims and copyright strikes this video help ease my fear of channel termination

thank you so much! my father keeps telling me if I get anymore copyright claims that he'll delete my channel. I keep trying to tell him that a claim doesn't really do anything and that it just means that I don't make money off the video, but he won't listen! He even thinks I'm going to get sued. The worst part is, he thinks it'll effect our family as well. I will try to show him this video and hopefully he'll understand.

Here's a tip. Upload your videos in private not in public, so you can fix it whenever there's a copyright, and then turn it public afterwards. 😊

i am a small channel. mostly family videos formed my channel. i started uploading re-edited 80's music vids and such, then got copyrighted. eventually, they were unblocked, but this year i made a passion project for the Film The Warriors 1979. i edited clips with voice overs to explain parts of the movie. It got Copyrighted. then they lifted it, then they reblocked and threatened to strike me. i argued fair use and cited 50 Other videos on the film but to no avail. i have three days left to delete it. I know i didn't make the movie and have no rights to it, but im unmonitized, and it's just a tribute video of sorts. its 46 minutes long. What Should i have done to keep my video up?

the video doesn't cover case: "Video cannot be monetised. The Content ID claim on your video doesn't affect your channel." When I have the license but have to wait a few days for acceptance, will I get the revenue back for the crucial viral period or will YT it not display any ads?

I've received copyright claims on MUCH older videos on my other channel, but that's because I never wanted to monetise those videos, no matter how well they did, and right now I still can't monetise them cos I'm not in the YPP yet. Those videos did well in the early days but now no one watches them at all. Fun fact: even if you have *EXPRESS PERMISSION* from the copyright holder to use music in a video, there's no guarantee that the video won't have a claim against it due to the "sophisticated" content ID system. I've been down this path before, I know where it leads.

I've gotten a few copyright claims. I'm a hell of a long way from being monetized but I hope it doesn't work against me when the time comes.

Thank you so much 😁 also when you let us had 3 seconds to screenshot, that was honestly awesome of you cause I never seen an explanation video give you time to screenshot 😂 so thank you

This helps me a lot with copyright claims, thank you! But, I have a question. What if we’ve already credited the producer of the audio recording in the description of our video, yet we still get copyright claimed? Is that a glitch? Does it affect it further or something? Will the producer still press charges, even if they see that it’s already credited? I’m confused 😅 And a bit worried

'I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed' 😂😂😂 That Dark Vader is scary. Good to know

Yes a family member was playing music in the background while I was recording and I didn’t even realise because it was so faint yet the company still put a claim in on me, I suppose it’s fair but at the same time I watch the video like three times and didn’t even notice it because it was so quiet

Strikes: warning (NOT OVER 50) I'd claims: Used to be a TON (I removed most of them)

Thank you for a clear, concise review of this important subject. I am a retired IP attorney (patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets) and recommend your video to anyone uploading content.

I feel like deleting the offending video shouldn't be held against you, especially if the whole reason you deleted it was to go back and solve the issue of why it got struck in the first place. That's like punishing me spilling milk on the table even though I took accountability for it and cleaned the mess and the chairs, just to be on my folks' good side.

that's why I only use youtube audio library for background music. don't trust those channels that says free music.

You deleting the video and getting a new account when you get a copyright strike: IVE GOT THE HIGH GROUND

Great video! But what if the "copyright owner" doesn't have a copyright for the material that they're claiming? Is it safe to dispute if the "copyrighted" video is in public domain? TMZ recently copyright claimed a part of my video of the Johnny Depp trial where Kate Moss is giving her testimony. They have absolutely no exclusive rights to any of the trial video but KZfaq has decided that that section belongs to them because they also have a video with Kate Moss giving her testimony. I'm not monetized but I don't want TMZ placing ads and earning revenue from content that they don't own. Is it worth it to dispute a claim? The risk seems pretty high. I doubt KZfaq is going to actually verify if TMZ owns the copyright and are probably just going to allow TMZ to remove my video and issue a strike.

This copyright claims is great. I just requested to remove a video who literally uploaded my entire video on his channel and KZfaq took care of it in a few days. I’m so glad that KZfaq cares about creators more.

Thanks for including the playlist on the end screen! I just wish it also had a video about copyright regarding fonts/typefaces. I'm not surprised that most of the attention gets focused on music copyright because music is so important to making a video and the automated tools make it easier for copyright holders to find matches, but I wonder if it's only a matter of time before they've created automated systems to find copyrighted fonts used in videos as well :\

I never received a copyright strike! So my KZfaq channel is almost perfectly good to go!

I have got two before I looked it up but it didn’t help me figure out what it was thanks for the information

Gotta love that I can't make song covers, from scratch, with every sound coming from my mouth or my instrument, (in all cases but one,) without also getting claimed

I've received a copyright claim so I had to mute that part or in the future I wouldn't be able to monitize it.

Hi and thank you for the video😊 what to do if I don’t see any options to fix a copyright claim such as remove the music or dispute? Is there a timeframe for these options?

Hi Rob, I have recently applied and was accepted into the KZfaq partnership program even though I have copyright claims on most of my videos. I initially used free music from the Clipchamp editing program. Since then I have been editing on DaVinci Resolve. I have still used the same music as my theme song and background music for over 100 videos. Even though it said copyright on my channel it also said that the owner allowed it to be used. I am now learning that the rights owner of my music is now monetizing and also because I am not using Clipchamp anymore I don’t have the rights to the music either. I am in the process of trimming and muting all of my videos which has been a tedious process. As a new KZfaqr I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t understand the details of how this works. Thanks so much for this video. I am sad that I have to change my theme music for my channel. 😥

I did get a claim once using one of my own songs. My music distributor doing a decent job haha! Now I only write exclusive stuff for my videos to avoid any issues.

I once has a copywrite claim made against me from a youtuber in an unknown country speaking a foreign language. Until recieveing the claim, I'd never heard of or seen them before. I simply replied to the claim and stated that not only did we both have clearly visible webcam on screen, and even our gameplay were both in completely different languages it was clearly impossible I'd copied his video just because I'd played the same game he had. It was removed within hours.

I didn't really know what do to with my copyright videos until I watch this video,Thank you!

9:37🤣 I seriously thought you were mate

Thank you for the video. The anxiety is real for a newbie haha Received a claim 2 days after video was published 😅 I have texted the author he said that I am free to you his track as it has no copyrights. Let's see how the dispute turns out

What about music promotion channels like mine??? As you said for each 50 Copyright Claim there is a strike but I'v never received one.

Thank you, I got copyrighted by a person who ships 2 characters and couldn't know what to do But now I can relax and sit down for 3 months

Someone wrongfully copyright struck my video. I have disputed. My Q is: Will this Escrow Period for 30days affect my video?? Should I wait to publish until the 30days are up?? Because they always let it run out the full 30days... I have not used their Content, it's all my content.

My friend got a copyright strike for no reason ... The person who was the reason for the strike have multiple comments on his videos that he is simply striking for no reason ...😒😒😟

Thank you very much for these helpful pieces of information. My question is Would a copyright claim now possibly become a strike later? Because as you said, the copyright claim is a fully automated process so it will often happen before the original owner requests a strike, won't it?

I kinda wanna upload gameplay videos for games, that usually get copyright claimed, without monetizing them though. Will the rights holder just take your video anyway (once you do get a claim) so they can monetize it on their own end? Please don’t tell me that’s how it works…

Then what about making edits, is that also not allowed in Copyright Claim?

Thank you Rob for the video! A helpful summary. Hope in the future the guidelines for fair use will be more defined and reasonable % percent of revenue will be shared with creaters as well if music is used. I've actually discovered a lot music and songs from videos by someone else.

I got the best and most detailed explanation for this topic now. Thank you Rob and vidiq team. You nailed it.

Thank you for explaining all of this. So basically: 1. Copyright claims do not negatively affect your channel 2. Copyright strikes affect monetization 3. You get 3 Copyright strikes and your account is terminated 4. For every 50 Copyright claims you get, you get 1 Copyright strike 5. The rightful owner can claim all revenue from your video and put ads in your video (Guys if you do montages and such like I started doing, I highly recommend using Copyright Free music. Always check the description for instructions on how to deal with Copyright on Copyright Free music videos though.) Hope that helped, best of wishes to all you fellow Content Creators!

So I did a video last night of myself sleeping all night. I'm a medically fragile patient, and I wanted to hear my ventilator, to essentially get some sleep data to see if I'm breathing over the machine's given breaths while sleeping. I have a tracheostomy, and use a life support machine to breathe for me. Well in the video, which I had selected as private on KZfaq so I could watch it on KZfaq the next morning for my own personal viewing and mine only, well I still wanted to be able to listen to the audiobooks I like to at night on my Amazon alexa. Well I woke up to the copyright claim. So I just deleted the video I'll do another video for evaluating whether I'm breathing at all over the ventilator at night, I'll do another video, but I just won't be able to listen to the audiobook while I do that. Even the video is private, as I only want to be able to see it. Nobody else. I don't want copyright claims. OK, I know it wasn't a strike, but I don't want to get my KZfaq account suspended. Better yet, I'll have the Dr. put me in the hospital and do the exam for me, even though I wanted to do it for my own data at home. But I regret listening to the audiobook while sleeping, while doing the recording.

Ive literally freaked out so much from getting a Copyright Claim and I never gotten a Copyright Strike before and I’ve literally deleted the video every time i get a Copyright Claim and i always thought they would make me pay :’) thank you so much for explaining because google doesn’t explain it well for my brain im too stupid 😭

Hunny the Dog approves 👍 Thank you for the information, as a new KZfaq creator I've learned a lot of useful information from you to help me grow my channel. Keep up the outstanding work 👏

I literally got a copyright strike for no reason, my playlist was “My true faves” and just videos from my childhood.

I love your content so positive and helpful cheers guys for all you do.

My friend started a KZfaq and never got a single strike on his channel and literally every video has a copyrighted song on it. Meanwhile I got one for like 2 sec of a background song in my video. *Bruhhh* 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

There should be no automatic claims at all. Looking at the list of possible copyright infringing videos, most of them are probably not doing anything wrong as far as I now. Probably all of them. If you were an evil guy, you could claim Leonhart's video because he was talking to you and has your logo in the livestream. KZfaq considers that a 100% violation for some reason. I can't find that livestream on your channel, so I don't get how that's considered a 100% copyright violation. We all know that video is fine, but if you had automated claims going on, you'd have falsely claimed him and many other videos too. Do you know what the false claim rate is? Based on that list, it must be pretty high. The benefit of the doubt is definitely not on the KZfaqrs' side.

Thank you so much for this video I had no idea what to do and now I do!

I got copyrighted on accident because I forgot to turn music off in a video. If I just waited 7 minutes and 56 seconds longer, I would still have by ability to live stream.

Outstanding explanation. Thorough, very clear, good visuals with text.

It’s such a confusing thing sometimes and you get copyright claims over random stuff sometimes

Nowadays youtube have a lots of false copyright strike like markiplier, charlie,. I 'm so happy to know that the copyright strike will be expired after 90 day.

Hi there! I will tell you the story of how I got copyrighted TWICE! Once upon a time, There was a cringy KZfaqr (me back then) who would make the most goofy ahh videos EVER. One day, I posted a Real Littles (??) mini backpack unboxing video, And it got a copyright warning (Copyright Claim??) And here's how it starts... One time on my old channel I created a cringy unboxing video with I'm assuming COPYRIGHTED MUSIC! And I would literally expose it by saying "OmG tHeReS a BeNdY mUsIc ViDeO pLaYiNg RiGhT nOw!!" And guess what? The copyright thing appeared and I got scared as heck... And I thought that KZfaq was just STUPID??! AND UNFAIR?? That's a bit "childish for a young age." Unfortunately, The next one I'm about to tell you is from TODAY?? I was going to post a compilation video of my Chip Emoji Cartoons... And I forgot about copyright stuff and DID NOT mute the audio, And guess what happened? Got copyrighted AGAIN! And I warned my fans by posting it in my community tab.. And one from today was the original version of my compilation where I didn't mute it and I got copyrighted AGAIN! And I warned everyone about it by posting it in my community tab. Woah, What a rush! And I think I learned my lesson.. DO NOT use copyright music in your videos, And I made a reupload of my compilation video on my channel, And one last thing.. I will now be putting copyright disclaimers in ALL of my compilation videos! And now thank god KZfaq let my reupload pass on... Thanks for reading! ❤

Omg thank you so much I was panicking but this helped, I subbed!

No, I have never received Copyright claim or strike, I have been very particular about it 😁 I would always give credit to the owner and use videos that have a Creative commons license. 👍👍👍

I got one for doing a vocal cover of a song. I credited the youtuber who I got the backing track from in the video description, I also don't make revenue yet since I only have 200 subs I just dont want the video being removed since i worked hard on the vocals

What if. The copyright owner has passed away. And there videos remain online 🤔

Thanks! Lots of great info! I have a couple questions. 1. How are there literally hundreds of thousands of KZfaq videos with famous, copyrighted songs uploaded? They are all just copyright claims and they get no ad revenue? 2. If I get a copyright strike on ONE of my channels, does it, or can it, cause a DIFFERENT channel I have on the same account to be demonetized? 3. If a single video cannot be monetized due to copyright claim, can other videos on the same channel still earn me money? Thanks!

Receiving one claim was quite SCARY! 😂

I don't know why but I think I just got a Copyright Claim when it's actually my content, like you said anyway.

If I use a copyrighted song in a video, would I still get a strike if I give credit to the creator of the song?

Me using 6 seconds clip in my 20 minutes video (that took me 4 days to make). Content owner be like * take his all revenue 👿

It says In the channel membership and the monetization requirements that you can’t have a significant amount of ineligible videos... which are what copyright claims do... but do you know how many videos can’t be ineligible??

Is there no acceptable way to use part of a copyright claimed song over your original content video? If the notice says it doesn't affect your channel and it says "owner allows use on KZfaq " does it still affect your ability to get approved for monetization on the rest of your channel? (Assuming you don't care about monetization for that particular video). Sometimes there is a song that perfectly fits the narrative in the content and you don't mind giving up the few bucks you might make.

Thanks so much I can wait 90 days 90 days is like 3 months

Who else is a big fan of vidiq?

8:03 I've been doing research on how copyright violation works on KZfaq, but this is the first time I've heard this 50 claims rule, and now I'm confused. So if I create 50 videos that have copyright claims on them (ex: anime videos), I get a strike, right? That part is totally understandable, but my real question is that if I wait for 90 days for the strike to expire, can I continue on making 50 more copyright claimed videos, wait 90 more days for the strike to expire, and repeat the process? If this 50 claims rule is automatic, then it means a bot made the strike instead of the actual copyright holders, so that means the copyright holders don't know that I even got a strike?

I found myself here because I got an e-mail saying that a copyright claim was lifted on a video on one of my channels. Which is good and all… except I can’t find where I was ever notified that I even got a copyright claim in the first place. So I’m still a bit confused here 😆

I need some help. In my HeadSpace song The music I made I used sounds from a pack from bandlab and it's been copyright claimed by Lullaby Salmaan who does have the same sounds but it's not exactly the same as his song. How does that work? If we use the same sounds from a free pack we can make from scratch is it really copyright if it's just a little bit similar for a few seconds

Thanks for making a video about this now i know whats going to happen if i ever get copyright claimed.

I got copyrighted from using a song that said in the title COPYRIGHT FREE

We see so many videos using parts of TV or other large media recorded piece, with watermarks and text and yet they are able to keep them. Given that they didn't get permission, is doing a certain amount of edits enough to remove risks of copyright claims... If so, what is required related to editing existing video so you do not get a copyright claim or a strike?

It took me around 2 years to learn how to play on guitar one of my favorite songs and finally I was ready to show it to my friends only to get a copy right claim so here I am.

When's this video going public?

Thank You for explaining this in easily understood terms, I’ve received 1 copyright claim 😩

My YT channel where I make Roblox content got a Content strike.(It said that my content was deleted for nudity videos whereas there wasn't anything like that) After wards it was written that I will get my account after 90 days 😢

So I can only request a video take down and not claim it? that's lame. I don't want someone to get a strike for using my content but I also don't want that person to make money from me. Is there really no way for independent creators to issue a id claim?

I remember getting a copyright strike on a video. That video got blocked WORLDWIDE (196 countries if I remember correctly). I took down the video. It was caused by many copyrighted musics. It was catchy, however. The copyright strike expired, if you're wondering. Fun fact: That video would have gotten 200 views if it wasn't copyrighted.

Thank you for this it help a lot

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: Copyright claims (Content ID claims) are automated notifications to rights holders when their content is used without permission on KZfaq. They don't lead to immediate channel termination but can result in ad revenue being claimed by the rights holder or video restrictions. Copyright claims apply to individual videos and not the entire channel. Mistakes can happen, and false claims can be overturned. Copyright strikes are when a copyright holder requests the removal of a video violating copyright. They can impact the entire channel, restrict monetization, and prevent livestreams for up to 90 days. Three strikes can lead to channel termination. Copyright strikes expire after 90 days, but they apply to the entire channel, not just individual videos. KZfaq uses Content ID to detect copyright infringement. It's a tool for creators to manage copyrighted content, and rights holders can choose to monetize, block, or track videos. Copyright issues can be avoided by only uploading content you own or have permission to use. To resolve copyright claims, you can remove the claimed sections, dispute the claim, or appeal if the claim is rejected. During disputes, ad revenue is held in a neutral account. Copyright strikes are more severe and are issued for copyright violations. They require watching KZfaq's Copyright School and may affect monetization and the channel's future. Copyright strikes don't expire if additional strikes are received within a specific timeframe. When applying for the KZfaq Partner Program, having a copyright strike on your channel may influence the decision of human reviewers. Understanding copyright claims and strikes is crucial for creators to avoid penalties and maintain a safe and legal presence on KZfaq. Made with HARPA AI

Your video is very helpful I got another copyright claim but it wasn’t red so is it a fake copyright claim

Love this video for its in depth explanation. Thank you! 🥰 Can you also make a video discussing copyright claims on KZfaq shorts?

I was literally just researching this haha

I just got a copyright strike on a video I recorded in game on my character on gta online yet some how this guy thinks it's his video when you can clearly tell it's not his character this is frustrating

Copyright school I’ve been trying to figure out how to watch that for weeks is there a link? 9:36
