hey guys my name is jason and i'm from
the milestone
um so today guys we're going to be
talking over the topic
how to avoid a copyright claim or a
copyright strike
and there's two difference within that
topic
and this can be to a music video or a
reaction video
guys we're going to be going over three
things today and these are really
important in order to save
your channel from being taken down
because at the moment guys
unfortunately channels are going down
like mad
and people are receiving strikes and
copyright claims
and you can be in big trouble if you do
not go through
the process um it can be catastrophic so
guys
three things we're going to be going
over what our copyrights claim
without having a strike and copyright
strike so there's two in there
number two i'm going to be helping you
what can you do now
as soon as that you've received that
strike or a copyrights
and number three the myths around
copyrights
and the myths around that i have seen is
what can you do in order to avoid a
copyright claim or a copyright strike
within the video
so guys let's get started
so guys we're going to be talking on the
first topic
what is a copyright claim well guys a
copyright claim
is is where you're using someone's work
it can be a piece of music or it can be
a piece
of their video that you're actually
using so this can be a reaction video
and what tends to happen is you've got a
lot of agencies
out there that are working for you
obviously for the copywriters
and these channels who have big
subscribers are probably going to have
an agency and you can
pretty much take studio 21 for a perfect
example
if you as you can see i uploaded a video
i did it deliberately to see what would
happen within 30 seconds
so as you can see on the bottom corner
we decided to upload a video
and then within no more than 30 seconds
of using their video content now
bear in mind we actually asked for
permission
but because it was an agency they had no
knowledge of this so you've really
really got to be careful
um so as you can see we kind of we got
the email and that was a copyright claim
so
a copyright claim will mean that
you can use that content
in the way that you're using it based in
your video
but your video is technically gonna have
more content
than what their video is being shown so
then you're not monetizing
their video for in order for you to be
able to make some money on
if that makes sense so you've got to
really
balance it out now a copyright claim and
a strike
which means that's it that's a strike it
means the other end have decided to say
wait a minute you're not using our video
in order for monetization
and these guys will look on your channel
to see how many videos that you have got
up
and they will check you out because they
get all the stats
telling them if the channel is being
monetized if the video is being
monetized
and if that looks like to them that
you're trying to
make some money from their content and
they're gonna
full out hit you with a copyright strike
which means if you get three copyright
strikes on youtube
your channel gets deleted that is it
but you've got to bear in mind it can
even go higher than that
so let's just say if you you are using
a a video of drake um of his music
and the chances are if you are trying to
make
purely solely of money trying to
monetize
a video of yourself in their video
and you're trying to make some money
from his video the problem that you're
going to have
you could end up in court based where
you live
but the majority of countries are going
to probably sue you
um and this is happening more than
than any other time it it
it can be it can be really grim um
because a lot of us do go out there and
we will make reaction videos and
sometimes we kind of think oh
you know this is not really going to
make any difference to them well guys
in the real world of youtube youtube is
the biggest
platform on earth it's the one the
monetization
is booming on there so i think
that the chances of you being taken to
court being sued
is very high so on the next on the next
topic
is what can you do now guys there's
loads of things that you can do now i'm
going to show you the email that's on
the bottom screen right now
we we contacted we did a video
and we did a reaction on one of the
other channels that i run
and the reaction was with me me and my
daughter
and we decided to email the company
um of the actual owners that created the
content now
guys we were staggered because we didn't
think that we would receive
an email back and it was great um
and they actually gave us all the rights
it was absolutely fantastic and
in fact they actually added our other
channel onto their channel
so it was really really great um so
they are all there is different ways in
order to
to be able to use someone else's content
without
having that copyright claim or strike
against you
and guys like i say i do highly
recommend you
asking rather than using before you've
asked
because some youtube channels can get
really miffed off with this
and to be quite honest i'm probably one
of those channels who would get really
miffed off
um it is not easy creating really good
quality content or videos
um and it can be real hard work at times
so some of the best ways that you can do
to go about this
you can ask for consent which is great
but bear in mind guys you've really got
to be careful
it's not just based on an email as proof
because emails and text messages and
things like that
and faxing that's not going to protect
you in no way shape or form
if you can get them to post you
if you've uploaded the video and they're
saying yep this is all squeaky clean
get them even if you've got to pay for
the postage get them to post a signed
copy agreement
that agreement is probably going to save
your channel and save your bum
to be quite honest with you um another
way for
if you're doing a trailer and you think
oh that's wicked that's a wicked film
you can actually go on to the disney i
believe um
as we've just checked up as well you can
actually sign up
site put all your details all your
youtube details your channel
on who you are i think there is a bit of
a fee but the fee is not really high
um and you can get you can get consent
by doing that and
that is the way forward and i truly
believe
if if you are serious about doing your
youtube channel
is go the go down to the correct route
don't go popping off videos as many as
you can
in order to try and make as much money
as you can because guys
they said that's going to get you into a
lot of trouble and that's something
that i i personally would not recommend
and i don't think any other person would
would enjoy that
so guys can you monetize a a copyrighted
material
or a claim well guys yes you can
now if the other end it says yeah
you know it's not a problem you know
that you can continue on and monetize
they have to agree to this if they've
put into a copyright claim
as soon as that they've done this then
you're able to make money
complete that's it point blank and they
cannot go back on that at all
now the other the other way is if they
don't get back in touch with you
i believe it's 30 days or 90 days um
that copyright claim is completely
removed
and you will be able to monetize that
video regardlessly
um and they the only way that they could
personally take down your
your video is by putting in a takedown
um again guys as i said to you it's a 50
50.
um but again i would always recommend
asking to be able to use their content
without taking
um you know that's gonna that's gonna
help you massively and help your channel
the problem is if you've built up let's
just say for a scenario a hundred
dollars from that video
problem is the moment that they put in a
takedown notice any money that you've
had in that
that you've monetized in order for that
video the problem that you're going to
have
is that's going to be took all the way
back and they're going to be able to
take you through court to be able to get
as much money out of you as possible
so again guys this is why are you always
come back to
is is asking because asking is better
than taking
um yeah so obviously you can sign up to
the websites
um and do it that way um so
as soon as that you upload the video i
would
probably say within 30 to 60 seconds
that you're going to have an email if
you're going to be um
if you're going to get a copyright claim
um it's probably going to be within that
certain time
um so what i would recommend that you do
then if you're going to receive a
copyright claim
what you can do go on to the claim it'll
open up a little box on your on your
control center on youtube
and then what will happen is you will
have the chance to be able to say look
i'm using your content um but it's based
on
something that i'm putting more content
in than rather than what i'm using of
yours
and you've really got to really be
careful on this because the problem is
it takes one mistake for them to
to catch up on and they
they can put you in a position where
they can decline that then
and i think you only you you do only get
two times
and you're only able to do this two
times and then after that you've got to
be really careful
because then what will happen is is the
more that you
you you can test this copyright the more
miffed off the other end you're going to
get and that could be result if they're
going to give you a copyright
without your channel being affected
i would therefore contest that and then
i would go through the procedures now
one of the biggest things that you want
to do and you should do
is go under fair use now fair use is
this is going to be a lot more easy to
do
rather than doing the other categories
um
because it's based on fair use and
you're saying look i'm wanting to use
your content but i'm going to be put in
in 70 and then you're going to be
putting in 30
and so you're you're you're having a
reaction to this video
and you're doing it in a way where you
feel
that the video is based on more you than
the actual video
now go under fair use select fair use
and then you're going to get
a box that's going to ask you to fill
out a few details now within that box
you're wanting to be putting in and now
guys
this is in my opinion i'm not giving you
any legal advice
whatsoever whatever that you do is
completely up to you
but in my opinion on what i've done
i would i would honestly say that you're
using this video for fair use because
you believe
that you're trying to put your point
across you're not interested in
monetizing or making any money from
their video bear in mind if you are
making money
and they agree well you're going to get
the monetization anyway but you don't
really want to be
saying to them that that you're wanting
to be making money out of this video
because
guys listen then they're not going to
have that the moment that you say that
the moment that you're gonna
that they're not gonna have it um if you
do get that declined
you can then do it again and you can
request youtube to
have a look over this um
and they will be notified in this
but then they've got the opportunity to
completely decline
absolutely everything of that video and
then they can
obviously apply for a takedown removal
and to be honest that was your last shot
because if you get the takedown removal
um they can even hit you with a strike
and
to be honest this is not something i
would highly recommend
because then you've not only lost out of
putting all the effort into the video
you have then put yourself in a position
where you've then received a copyright
claim
and a strike and then that goes against
your channel
um for 90 days after 90 days i believe
it actually goes but you know 90 days is
quite a substantial time if you've got
three or four videos that you've done a
reaction to
and every single one of those videos
that you're going to have a copyright
strike or a takedown notice
the problem that you're going to have
you're going to lose your channel
um within probably a few days um
so you've really got to go about this in
the right way i would always believe in
asking asking is a big thing
for me because if someone asked to use
one of my videos i'd
i'd give them consent because i think to
myself well you know what
fair play you know it's it's not a
problem if i if it's not for commercial
use and it's not for
making tons of money if they've got a
small channel and you know
they're trying to build their subscriber
base or trying to get some more views
then
listen guys it's not a problem it's not
a problem to any of us but
the moment that you start putting up
i would say if you're let's just say
drake snoop doggy dog yeah
pretty big people um guys nine times ten
listen the moment that you upload that
content yeah
you're gonna have you're gonna have
copyright strikes left right and center
listen you it's so difficult but you can
beat this by going under the fair use
now guys there's some other ones that i
do want to go over and
some of them are absolutely ridiculous
um okay so there's been ones that i've
heard
well if i only make 30 seconds of the
content
of the of the background background
track
you know will this reduce the copyright
will i get found out guys
listen these agencies are that good
they've got the technology
to sniff out absolutely anything youtube
do that themselves you only have to go
on your control panel
and go down onto the copyright section
and any videos that have been built
over with your videos the problem that
you're going to get is going to show up
straight away and these agencies get
paid for doing this
and guys they're just going to whack you
with copyright claims left right and
center
um the problem is youtube listening
and then that's how it all goes back as
well
it notifies the the other person that
you've used their content
um like i said to you guys if you're
using that kind of thing
um be very careful back to the myth of
30 seconds guys
listen don't bother with it i i wouldn't
bother
i won't bother by doing that i won't
bother by distorting the background
noise
i won't bother by changing the the vocal
of the speech
i i won't bother with any of those
because the problem that you've got
you might not be caught out on the day
that you've uploaded the video
but what will happen after a period of
time you will get found out
and if you've built such a massive
amount
of video footage of of the monetization
and things like that the problem is
all that money that you've escalated
over time in that video
is simply going to go to nothing because
what will happen is
youtube would then send all those funds
all over back over to the other side and
you ain't going to get nothing
and all that's going to happen is all
those views and subscribers and
everything else you've built up i've all
gone to waste
because the video would have been
removed so guys
it really isn't worth it so you know
i would always recommend do it the right
way and because some of the ways that
people have listed on youtube
clearly is not working and you only have
to type in reaction
copyright claims to have a list of the
whole load of videos
um and these tricks just
don't work in the long run um so like i
said to you guys
ask them for consent right email them if
you go on the
if you go onto the channel where it says
about the channel
normally nine times out of ten they're
gonna have their their contact
information
guys send them an email an email is
completely free
wait until they've got back to you ask
them for permission ask them
see that if you can make any more videos
out of their videos of their
of the reactions get consent like i say
to you guys get consent also
even if you've got to send a letter to
the other side you pay for postage
whatsoever get them to sign it get it
sent back
listen guys that's going to keep you out
caught keep you out of a copyright
notice
and that's going to protect your channel
i would definitely recommend you
obviously when when that you are doing a
reaction video or any sort of video
that you put more effort into your own
video more than what their video is
be very careful on what type of music
that that you
that you are using clearly that's
because youtube have now got their own
music on their platform that you can use
um i think that tells you quite a bit um
in that specific reason so go over those
guys
and just be careful out there because
listen
you you don't want to take down all that
work that you've gone and done
and for all those people who think they
can beat
by making as much money out of
monetization of other people's videos
without the consent guys i will only
tell you one thing
that is going to bite you back on the
ass hey guys subscribe
like share until then guys make sure
that you keep on coming back this is the
milestone
enjoy making those videos
you
