How to Legally Use Copyrighted Music

 




 

We can often find some videos using popular songs, and contents creators may question,

 

 

Why don’t these videos receive copyright claims from YouTube?

 

How much revenue can the uploader of the video take?

 

 

 

We prepared his post is to answer these questions.

 

 

 

 

 


 



 

Can I Use Copyrighted Music in YouTube?

 

 

 

The answer is, No, but it can be okay depending on situations.

 

In detail,  

 

 

 

 

1.     Using No copyright Music library.

 

Some of you might already be using free music sources from sites like YouTube or SoundCloud.

 

 

You need to be careful, however, because the provider can change their mind and officially release the track on music platforms like Spotify or YouTube Music, it might cause copyright claims later.

 

 

In this case, channel monetization may be affected or the channel may even be suspended.

 

 

 

 

 

2.     Using Royalty-Free Music Websites

 

 

 

Royalty-free Websites are where you can download tracks that are good-to-use in YouTube.

 

 

Royalty-free music services usually make a 1:1 contract with musician, so music you download here are ones that musicians permitted its use on YouTube or other platforms.

 

 

Although popular songs you know are not available in these websites, sources you download here are all free from copyright claims.

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

How Can YouTUbe dectect That I am using copyrighted music?


 


 

 

 

YouTube has its own Content ID system, which checks all videos on the platform and contrasts it with YouTube's own music DB.

Music copyright of all over the world are registered here, so that its copyright can be protected from abuse.

 

If the YouTube algorithm detects the use of copyrighted music, YouTube suggests three possible ways.

 

1.     Mute the part of video where the music is used

2.     Delete the video

3.     All profits from the video are transferred to the copyright holder of the music source



By doing one of these, your copyright claim will be released. 

 

 

 

 

 

What Happens When I Get Copyright Claim from YouTube?

 


 

 

Probably one of the most frequently asked questions, YouTube has a strikeout system.

 

 

 

If you receive 2 YouTube copyright violation warnings within 90 days, it affects your channel.

YouTube may,

1. Block the video.

2. Prevent you from generating revenue

3. Delete the channel when you get the third warning

 


When you receive the 3rd warning, the channel will be deleted, and you will be prohibited to make a new channel from your account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can I use the music if I leave a credit?

 


 

 

Even if you use it with credits, you cannot be completely protected.

 

It is because if the original author wants to registers the copyright of their music on DCMA system or if they decide to prevent others from using their music on YouTube, your video will not be protected from the author or distributors’ copyright infringement claims. 

 

 

Because of these kind of risks, it is recommended to use royalty-free music as much as possible when making videos.
