however this is their platform still they involve in it. that why they do so many auto detect system about copyright.. . in simple word, they also want we to create completely new original video. but that also big problems for me croz lack of idea & shy to record myself. maybe i should record my cat dance "tiger show" later.. 😁😁😁👌
@@LunaticMode Problem with the auto detecting algorithms is that it also picks up content that really is fair use. Using copyrighted material in the spirit of fair use does create new original content. This process that YT has hurts the creation of original content.
Honestly the "Fair Use" laws and massive corporate lawyers have killed my creative spirit literally it's hard to do anything without getting demonetized.
I don't even care about monetization but I still wonder why videos that are clearly commentary which is under fair use get taken down just because RUclips is hiring freaking ai to tell if the video deserves copyright in the first place. The whole system is corrupt like bruh!!!!
RUclips will take it down, then you claim it is fair use, back and forth, and the end of that process you will have to go to court to defend our rights. But, that is the point almost all the fair use claims by the claimers are dropped and your video is restored.
Why Would copyright even apply on RUclips? why are policies like the three strike's implemented for copyright?. If there's no fair use applied on RUclips any content should be fair gain.
It amazing she can state that its a law twice and people still blame them lol. The law was intended to help people who WORKED on the original project. Examples are anyone who works on film sets, video games, or other entertainment that wants to put it on a reel or resume later down the line. IT WASN'T INVENTED to give youtubers rights to copy-paste and profit off of other peoples content exactly 40 years later....
That's about right. A judge will have to determine if it was "fair" or not...that's the only way to know. Hmmm...do I want to sit through a courtroom trial and play dice with how the judge is feeling on it, just to play a "fair use" game....mmmm, not really.
@@TegridyMadeGames i dont think the problem is that, the problem is, youtube will demonitize, take down or even ban creators without a courts decree, in most cases, youtube is just lynching and act as the judge jury and executioner without a courts judgement even though they claim ONLY a court's judge can decide, while at the same time they already decide a judgement themselves BEFORE the court's judgement.
this doesn't explain why copyright holders are the ones who hold all the power regarding disputes. youtube's default "we dont decide fair use" statement is a convenient cop-out that absolves them of any responsibility to address a rampant issue of copyright abuse from big companies like UMG that's plagued the site for years.
Currently all the so called fair use claimant has to do is claim fair use and then RUclips restores the stolen video and the only other recourse is to take the person who stole it court.. We hold all the power? Only until the person who stole our video says they didn't by claiming fair us
They don’t. If they take down your video and you know you’re in the right, you can always file a lawsuit against them. Whether that’s worth it is up to you.
because they are the owner.............. You guys don't seem to understand that this is LAW, not something youtube decides, as she stated twice.... "Fair use" was invented to help people who WORKED on a project to be allowed to use it later down the line. Think of all the people who work on film sets and want to clip it later for their reels, ect. It wasn't intended for people to just take other peoples work to improve their own.
RUclips doesn't decide anything, because no human looks at your claim/appeal. It's all done by A.I. routines. Google has worked very hard to insulate themselves from ever actually having to deal with the 'little people' who use their platforms and who create the content that make them profitable for Google. The only time a human gets involved is if a dispute garners negative media attention.
This is very informative. One thing though, When people complain that their entire video got claimed for a two second copyright protected clip, they aren’t necessarily suggesting that two seconds is short enough to be considered fair use. They are saying that it’s not fair that the entirety of the ad revenue for the video now goes to someone that only owns two seconds of it. Your platform desperately requires revenue share.
yes... if I just use a copyright music in my video, than the revenue from the video should be shared among the two... not the whole revenue should go to copyright owner..
@TryHardNinja I generally agree with you, however I have exactly one viral video and another channel's author used a few seconds of mine video and of two other guys videos a) without my and their permission nor notification b) without any mention of origin c) he added paid advertisement to his video d) he made preview clickbate using stop frame from my video e) he claimed my strike as fraudulent one I won't go to court just because I have no spare time for that. I have less than $100 earnings for my entire channel a month, so I see no financial reason to sue that author. However it would be fine if he asked for reuse first, and added some link to my channel or my video he copied. Am I asking too much?
@@Oxygen1um it works only if the owner of the song wants to do it. they don't agree and keep all the money even if you put hard work and effort into your OWN version of the song I do covers in my other channel and it's really annoying
@@peschex0d Legally speaking, yes you are asking too much. They don't need to do any of the things you are complaining about under fair use, and yes it sounds like your copyright claim was a frivolous one. I can almost guarantee that you would have lost if you would have taken it to court, so it was lucky you didn't. On top of that you opened yourself up to being sued yourself.
There are so many creators, like Thunderfoot, that constantly use copyrighted material and long clips in their videos, and claim fair use, but never have to take them down. I also see many people performing full covers of copyrighted music without their videos being taken down. I don't understand how this happens when it's so easy for others to get copyright strikes.
@@awemanyfit It was like the Wild West. • Less rules to worry about. • Videos prioritized entertainment before profit. • Your only restriction was your imagination. • Cat Videos and shitposts galore. • Let's plays were starting to emerge.
Since only a judge can decide if something is fair use, bigger copyright holders just have to threaten lawsuits or demonitization in order to win. Fair use (or any American law, really) is only as fair as the amount of money in your pocket.
I have no idea why RUclips hasn't incorporated a revenue sharing system for copyrighted material based off of an algorithm that pays a certain percentage of a monetized video to the copyright holder based on how much was used! That would be a win-win for everyone!!!!
Ok men need your help here.As i understood from your answer, if I am starting a channel which is GENERALLY about music(so i will tell the biorgaphy of an artist for instance,) can i use copyrighted content without any fears for BAN? And does yotube ban videos in which there is copyrighted music or only demonetize some of them?
@@RedRumble14 I recently had a one-man band cover of Hotel California removed...and received a warning that future complaints could result in disabling my channel altogether.
@@OmniphonProductions thanx for the answer. Do you know anything about uing parts of other videos from youtube(maybe a few seconds) and parts of actual film in context of your video. Can youtube immideatly detect it and what are the consequenses ban or demonetization of its ok to use?
@Connor Welch not everyone has the option to go-to court. It is an expensive endeavour, and there is no guarantee you will get enough money to break even , if you win. It is RUclips's responsibility IMHO. They made a system that is easily abused and have become complicit with it's abuse. There needs to be a built-in consequence for abuse. As it stands, I think RUclips should be labeled an accessory on the cases that go-to Court. Maybe after that, RUclips will reconsider the system in place.
True story: Paramount PR invited me to a screening of one of their Mission Impossible movies for review. I made a video talking about my thoughts on the movie and ranking the Mission Impossible movies using some of their trailers video edited over me talking and criticizing the movies. Years later Paramount claimed the video - I disputed through YT and said it should fall under fair use but Paramount responded with a manual rejection. I ended up just deleting the video since the views weren't so high but it's annoying when a company invites you to something for review - you make a review video and then they basically kill your video (even after praising the movie).
We know where you are coming from but sometimes it can be hard to understand why a rights owner has claimed your video, but that doesn’t mean they’re not authorized to do so. You can always dispute a content ID claim that you believe was made in error: yt.be/help/LKJN. Hope this helps!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...I think if they asked you to do a review, they should have given you a fair use right to their music, in writing to protect your creative rights, using their work but authorized in writing. in this way it defends you from any claim of copyrights 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Creo que si ellos te pidieron , que hicieras un reviews, deberían haberte dado un derecho sobre uso legítimo su música, por escrito para proteger tus derechos de creatividad,usando el trabajo de ellos pero autorizados por escrito. De esta manera te defiende de cualquier reclamo de copyrights.
Here's a massive problem with RUclips's "fair use" approach, however. 02:41 "Companies are claiming just a few seconds of a video. How is that not abuse?" Ignoring the "lol just use 3 seconds of audio and it's fine" nonsense people try to pull - copyrighted material for only a few seconds of a video DOES NOT at any point in licensing of copyrighted material result in ALL OF THE EARNINGS of that video being taken. There's so many elements of copyright-able work in a single video, that just copyright claim of the composition or recording of a song should NEVER take the entire revenue of a video. Period. This is a lazy, stealing method of not providing a tool for creators to license out these chunks of material. Sure, not every publisher will allow such licensing - but many do, RUclips just isn't facilitating that.
True, i have a half an hour video that i worked on for many hours. It contains about 17 seconds of copyrighted music (the curb your enthousiasm meme theme...) and the entire video gets claimed by that company. What??
Im not even going to watch the video after I read the comments. These kind of videos from RUclips are the true reason they disabled dislikes. It’s a shame how less they care about their creators. People put their love, life and soul into their channels just to get them false striked and possibly deleted.
How are music analysis channels even supposed to work then? Do you just talk about what you are referring to instead of playing at least a 5 seconds clip of it? That makes the video lose a lot of educational value, if not all of it. In the entire history of music teaching, teachers have always shown examples of everything they are explaining... this is still nonsense imo.
Official answer is "deal with it." you have to bear with it, get dmca'd, go through the process and argue fair use in court. The biggest argument will most likely be "Market Usurpation." example if its a song and people go to your vid just to listen to the song, you clearly usurped the songs marketability. And it would be up to you to argue in court that examining 5 sec of a song for educational purposes doesnt usurp the market. So yes, its abuse.. But youtube doesn't care
Unfortunately for the record labels out there they actually will lose in every court, and their only option is abusing the manual claim system and scaring people. The starting and stopping of the song, with your voice added with commentary about the music is in fact protected by fair use. By the same standard though you introducing a song like your a DJ or MTV VJ is not covered in anyway. Education, Critiquing, and some forms of Sampling are protected, simply put using the entire raw audio in a video is not ok. There is a lot of ways around this but thats not the point.
Okay, RUclips... explain this: I received a copyright claim because I played a piece of copyrighted music even though it should clearly fall under Fair Use. 1. I played a piece of music the original artist submitted to me himself, for the sole purpose of playing it on a live stream and giving him feedback on the production. 2. The content was educational in nature and the original artist benefits from it by learning something. 3. His piece of music wasn't the only piece played and critiqued, there were many more over the course of the stream, meaning the sole purpose of the stream was NOT to spread copyrighted material. 4. The claimant and the artist being represented are based in the US, so US Fair Use laws apply and thus the above-named things should be taken into account. I, of course, disputed the claim since this should be considered Fair Use, the dispute was rejected. I then muted the audio of that song in particular, because live streams and donations are a big part of my channel and I can't risk losing those. However, the fact that the claimant rejected my Fair Use dispute even though it's a clear cut case of Fair Use is what is a problem to begin with and this all ties back to the horrible system RUclips uses where claimants get to decide if my dispute is right or wrong. So this video specifically says, that only a judge can decide if something is Fair Use or not. So why then is it, when I file a dispute because I believe the claim is indeed Fair Use, that the claimant gets to decide over that and not a judge as you say? There is no court case until it reaches the point where the damage to my channel is already done! The claimant decides if my dispute is correct or false... If they reject it, I can appeal that decision, however with the risk of putting a copyright strike on my channel, limiting my options for live streaming and receiving donations, which are the two things that keep my channel going. So, not a viable option to risk that. Only if my appeal is rejected again it'll become a court case, but by that time, my channel will already have a strike on it limiting my channel severely. So we can safely say, this is not a viable option for me to take. RUclips keeps specifically stating in this video they can't decide if something is Fair Use or not and that only a judge can, then why is that not happening when I dispute a claim based on Fair Use? You are literally proven yourself wrong with this exact statement in the video. When you drag somebody into court, that is a fight between 2 parties and the third party, the judge, is the one to make an unbiased judgment. You are not going to let the defendant or accuser decide on the result of the court case right? So when I receive a copyright claim, why is there no third party to look over these? Why is the claimant the one to decide if I'm right or wrong? That is like having a court case and letting the accuser decide if the defender's arguments are false or correct. RUclips should have a team of copyright specialists looking into every single copyright case as a third party overlooking the process to make sure things go the way they should. And then I haven't even talked about the copyright claims that I constantly receive when I'm making music on RUclips, claims on videos where the video itself already disproves the claim itself and therefore should never be appearing on my channel in the first place. The fact that I receive claim after claim on content which is clearly my own is a big sign something is horribly broken when it comes to copyright on RUclips. So, instead of ignoring all my tweets, comments, emails and other forms of contact I tried, maybe it would be wise to at least come back to me with an explanation like you would expect in the case of a RUclips "partnership". We creators signed an agreement to be in a partnership with RUclips, yet we creators completely lack the amount of transparency and communication you would expect from a true partnership. So, is it really a partnership or does RUclips simply call it that when it actually isn't? As a creator who has spend a lot of time on this platform since day one, I can sadly say that I'm reaching a point where IF a new platform equivalent to RUclips shows up, I would not hesitate one bit to jump ship. And as a creator who has put thousands of hours into his channel, that is a very hard choice to make. However, we've reached a point where things are so broken, RUclips is moving into a direction that is favoring big corporations over the independent creators who have been the reason of the success of RUclips, and I absolutely don't like that. If during this entire wall of text I have understood something wrong, then please RUclips respond and explain it to me instead of ignoring me making matters a lot worse. I signed the partnership agreement years ago, but until this date, I have never received any help when it comes to issues with my channel, nor has RUclips ever responded to any of my questions I asked them... Now THAT is a great partnership... not!
can you talk about the abuse of the copyright claim feature too? There are people out there claiming content that does not belong to them and do it constantly.
YES THRY ARE DOING IT ON THE SAME VIDEO AGAIN AND AGAIN. I GOT FLAGGED ON THE SAME VIDEO THRICE ONE OF WHICH IN THE END WAS GETTING ME A STRIKE FOR SADISTIC PLEASURE IT SEEMS TO ME OR THE PERSON IS INSANE FULLY. I DON'T KNOW WHICH OF THEM AFOREMENTIONED IS TRUE, BUT I ASSUME THAT RUclips WANT'S US TO NOT USE IT INDIRECTLY
Yet UMG are literally just claiming any video with random timestamps. They claimed a stream I had as a vod with no music within it and the time stamp was when I was at the toilet and it was silent!!!!!!! Broken system
Yes, silence has already been copyrighted! If such silence is 4 minutes and 33 seconds long the estate of John Cage might come after you ! Just make sure no musicians are present...
I’m so tired of watching RUclipsrs try to comment on videos, but can’t because it has some background music. They always have to muted the video because of “fair use”, making the commenting impossible.
@@MichaelGlennglennimages An example is when a really boring video is being used for the purpose of criticism, which is valid under Fair Use, and the original copyright holder being criticized makes a claim not only because they don't like what's being said about them, but also because the new, edited, and highly transformative video gets more views.
@@ursonate yes that is correct. The chance of losing a fair use case in that specific instance is unlikely. Although if one wanted to sue for it they could. It would cost them time and money.
RUclips is pandering so heavily to the corporations in this video. "Only courts have the ability to decide" is RUclips saying "We won't treat it as fair use until the courts decide". Look at how they threaten creators by saying "Even a few seconds may not be deemed fair use". This is how they convince you that removing content automatically without any legal action being taken by the corporation is reasonable. How can you have a fair use doctrine when every video, even those that fall under fair use, is swiftly removed from the platform when even a few seconds of material is caught by its copyright checking robots? This is "guilty until proven innocent", not "innocent until proven guilty", and it is truly unjust.
From what I can tell DMCA muddies the water. It forces RUclips to remove videos or risk being sued for inaction. So RUclips is playing it safe for themselves by going over board and removing fair use content. I think if the law was updated to make the type of copyrighted content you have to remove more specific it would help.
What I love so much is that monetary "creators" work around these (uhhh) rules by adding copywritten music clips to copywritten video clips to make entirely new videos. Apparently it's working...
If you dress up as the Joker, act like the Joker and in no way change anything about it as well as monetizing your video... it would not be fair use. WB owns the on screen likeness of the Joker and you could essentially cause them to lose money (not really likely) from their version. So not fair use. If you parody the Joker in some way, it would be far safer overall.
Twice I pulled music from the RUclips Audio library and it was flagged as copyrighted. The second time, I went through the dispute process and had to wait 30 days for the video to be able to be monetized, even though it was RUclips's already-approved music.
@@TreeBarkProductions how would anyone find that out for any specific song? if its on the public domain list, that's defeating the entire purpose of public domain. Id be curious which artists would upload public domain music just to fuckin strike it. That would be good content for a video actually.
4:05 Automated systems like content ID shouldn't be able to automatically demonetise someone's video. It should be able to notify potential copyright claimants, but that's it. Since fair use is in your own words "subjective case-by-case decision", you CANNOT use a guilty until proven innocent' approach. That is objectively wrong.

Because that’s just how DMCA law works. RUclips is siding on the side of safety to prevent another lawsuit like the one from Viacom all those years ago.
"Fair Use" can truthfully only be determined in court. As a platform for media hosting and sharing youtube can be held liable for the content they are hosting. Hence why things are the way they are on the site. If things are going to change it has to be done on a legislative level first

If you plan to include copyright-protected material in your video, you’ll generally need to seek permission to do so first. RUclips can’t grant you these rights and we can’t help you find the parties who can grant them to you. You’ll have to research and handle this process on your own or with a lawyer’s help. More info here: yt.be/help/xF5F

@@RedRumble14 No, I uploaded a video featuring about 6 songs that sound similar; comparing 5 second clips each. I am not monetized and only have like 5 followers but YT deleted my video and gave me a 1/3 strike on my account. It was automated, nothing taken to reason
In other words, don't even think about being a small creator unless your content is just going to be you talking to the camera, or graphs, charts, and images you made.
This is just a nice way of explaining how great corporations are basically taking over youtube. Most of us, contents creators, know that companies have been striking us mercilessly for using a few seconds of their material in what would clearly classify as Fair Use. Those false strikes are being designed to actually take control away from contents creators.
Two years later, someone blocked my video with my own voice and my own image I created from a blank whiteboard animation app. It is a censorship weapon.

I get this message a lot! "This video was found to contain copyrighted material. It is being monetized but revenue is being shared with the copyright owner." I don't use other people's recordings when making my videos but create my own music. Yes, it is not always original music because I'm teaching songs on my channel. Shouldn't the copyright owner be able to only take 5% of my revenue if I'm only putting their material into 5% of my video? That is NOT what is happening. They are revenue sharing the whole video cutting my revenue WAY DOWN or cutting my ability to monetize completely. That's not fair.
Delayed reply but here it is... This will fall under another section known as "use for criticism and review" in "transformative content" As long as you are criticising or reviewing the copyrighted material during its use..it is considered as fair use Please note I am no legal advisor and I don't claim any liability for adverse effects to your channel...but the above message is what I found out from a few youtubers
Good question. Fair use is a legal doctrine that says you can reuse copyright-protected material under certain circumstances without getting permission from the copyright owner. Learn more here: yt.be/help/3Zuw
It's not an example. Court cases often also rely on how good the lawyer is, so a small RUclipsr who doesn't have the H3 millions might lose the same case.
@@TheOutThereChannel the keywork here is clips and assuming the clips were used in a transformative piece of content why is this claimable? you always have to ask is it: "transformative" is it "educational" is it "a critic" the problem here is most of the time these things are often debatable and youtube doesn't have the authority to say one way or the other, unfortunately they are between a rock and hard place and have to allow people to report such things and this reporting system is hugely open to abuse by people who don't care or simply don'y understand these things.
It really is time that this was standardised. How are we as creators supposed to do our work if we constantly get claims and strikes? I teach guitar. How am I supposed to teach a song that I'm not allowed to play? Even if I don't use the original video or audio and simply perform the piece myself, I still get copyright claims. This appears to be getting worse of late. Perhaps an Organisation the size of RUclips could be doing more to protect creators rather than passing the buck? Frustrating to say the least.
One thing that would help *_immensely_* for music problems, is for RUclips to allow & keep multiple audio tracks in uploads. That way, any music that is NOT in the same track as the creator's voice or main audio can be safely removed without affecting voice or main audio quality. This way, it lies on the creator to record and/or upload with multiple audio tracks so these things can be separated from the start.
I have a copyright claim on one of my videos for using a free stock footage clip from a website that states right next to the clip that it's free to use and no attribution is needed. What I have learned is that RUclips will let anyone claim ownership of a creator's video without investigating it, so basically anyone can steal ad revenue just by saying that they own a portion of your work. This system is seriously flawed.
@@wickedsmahtshorts5103 I did. It took about a week for it to go through the process. The other person dropped their claim, so I was able to get the ad revenue back.
In other words: Don't stop producing content and post it on RUclips, we take an enormous share of your revenue, and when we have to take responsibility for a problem bigger than Mount Everest, we just toss you away like an old rag, but hey! All your work is ours and we'll still find money in profit in it! Thank you for donating to RUclips your life, don't Broadcast Yourself, Broadcast for Us!
There’s a lot of complaints here but I have to say, thank you so much. You confirmed my suspicions that someone used my content *without* fair use. Thank you.
Now explain how musicians, can claim copy rights on basic corde notes or even melodic modes, used for hundreds of years to teach music. And how do you expect for a small creators to be encouraged to creat educational content and fight big companies in court.
So do you mean to say that actual people on RUclips, average people have been taken to court and lost their hard earned possessions because a multi national company feels aggrieved?
actually, I think she said, YT knows nothing, sees nothing, and DOES nothing.... unless you're big media.... it's all so rigged. CNN/FOX could run a 45 minute segment on the Batwoman on CW showing virtually the WHOLE episode and nothing, you can't play 12 seconds of the trailer and critique it. watch this video a few times, there's more double talk in there than there was in the last debate!
Yes Bec, if you are using someone else's work to try and profit it doesn't matter how much money they have or you have, you are breaking the law and they have every right to sue you. Don't use copyrighted material unless you actually know what you are doing and are prepared to spend money defending that position in court.
@@PrimalEdge There is no two class system and this isn't a RUclips thing. This is copyright LAW, if you don't like copyright law talk to your government about it. In terms of your example, no CNN can not just run a whole episode of someone else's content and get away with that. CNN and The CW are both owned by Warner Media. CNN can run as much of an episode from the CW as they want as long as the editor approves it with corporate. What you're describing is called cross promotion. Further to that point, you also seem to fail to understand behind the scenes licencing. Large media groups have entire media departments filled with lawyers. They know what they can and can not get away with under the law, but where they want to use someone else's work they licence it just for safe measure. So let's say CNN wanted to play a clip shot by the BBC, they would contact distributions and licencing at the BBC News desk and pay a fee (usually somewhere from $500 - $5000) to licence that clip for the express use purpose. No copyright is violated because they have permission.
TJ Marx I’m not really sure if you accidentally wandered here or not, but this is YT. You might want to check it out. Maybe see some of the hundreds of thousands of hours of content out there where people are critiquing movies books TV shows video games and pretty much anything and everything out there that is copywritten. The only reason this copyright fair use issue has come up in the last year is because big media has moved off of their platforms on to RUclips. And before you respond go out there and check the hundreds of thousands of hours of people that have Paul proof that their stuff has been demonetized where in the past it has not. The fair use laws haven’t changed, the content creators have grown. And this all happened right around the same time RUclips has made a large push towards throttling back on “non-confirmed media outlets“ and there’s tons of videos on that as well. Ever since all the big media companies have piled onto RUclips and started monetizing their channels on RUclips all the other content creators who have been enjoying monetization for over a decade have started to see Demonetization and D platforming as well as having videos removed. This was never an issue for almost 15 years it’s only come up in the last 18 months. Check the fax. This is not my opinion, this is me watching it happen first hand.
It seems impossible to find real world examples of RUclips videos that are and are not fair use. Even searching the US government's website for past court cases about fair use, there's only a tiny number of cases involving this. We need more examples to better defend our works
Explaining what fair use is and refusing to change the horrible content ID system. FAIR USE DOESN'T MATTER IF WE STILL GET CLAIMED. This is just a way to shield themselves and say they acknowledged it.
Their content ID system is broken because I was using a video for commentary but since the content ID couldn't account for that I still got my video blocked. WHY DOES RUclips USE AN AI SYSTEM IF IT CAN'T DO IT'S JOB RIGHT?!
According to RUclips there *is no* fair use. If "only a judge can decide if it is", they simply assume nothing is and the content creator has to deal with it
I'm currently a reactor on here that watches TV shows, but before I started I made sure that I knew as much as I could about fair use. For me, if you wanted to react to a TV show and upload it to RUclips, the video can't exceed 10 minutes of footage, but only within 30 second clips, and then leaving out 5 seconds before using another 30 seconds. There have been a few copyright claims against me but I dispute the claim and explain how I use the allowed 10 minutes within 30 second clips, 9 times out of 10 the claim is removed. Hope this helps a few people out.
3 years later but those are made up rules. This video itself says so. If something is copyrighted then it’s copyrighted, stealing it 30 seconds at a time doesn’t change the fact that you are using copyrighted material. Now maybe what you do is fair use for other reasons, but this whole 10-minute, 30-second clip stuff is nonsense
I am planning on creating a top ten countdown videos channels that use alot of......... fair use clips? Like the channel called "Top trending". Would that be a bad idea?
We're not in a position to provide legal advice. If you're using someone else's content, you'll want to learn more about copyright. There's tons of info to get you started here: yt.be/help/VrKj. Hope this helps clarify.
This is very informative. One thing though, When people complain that their entire video got claimed for a two second copyright protected clip, they aren’t necessarily suggesting that two seconds is short enough to be considered fair use right now thanks😍
To summarize: You basically can’t use ANY copyrighted material and be sure you won’t be demonetized 🤢🤮 It’s time we changed copyright rules. It really stifles creativity and the Internet in general.
Stephan Reiken Yes. I’ve heard that people got copy strike for using material that is public domain or some other license that allows for redistribution and copying (like Creative Commons).
I had to search for this topic after I uploaded my coffin dance meme edit. I couldn't rest the first 5 hours because I was scared of copyright claim/strike of the astronomia song. I have deleted the video. Not taking the risk
@@Luaxon yeah.. i always doing meme edits.. i used Bastille - Pompeii song in 1 video.. if i ever monetize that video .. will it get copyright claim or channel strike.?
It WOULD be nice if RUclips offered the ability to store audio tracks separately from video - so that if there is a copyright claim on music previously labeled as "no copyright" then we would have the option of substituting the offending section of track without disturbing the video.
I have to say I do appreciate the extra requirements RUclips has added for those trying to claim videos. Especially letting us know what the specific problem is when there is one. No one likes seeing that yellow $ or getting that claim email. Personally, I've found that "transformative" is the most important for video. And I never ever use any copyrighted music. There's so much copyright free and creative commons 0 music out there! I look forward to RUclips putting in place even more creator-friendly strategies regarding Fair Use. The more transparency we get, the more creative we can be! It's starting to feel much less adversarial with, and again, it's much appreciated! Now, if I can just figure out how to get videos suggested 😉. Cheers
Considering a friend followed fair use, still got their channel terminated, you refuse to help, and now they're depressed and had to be talked down from self harm.....no I don't think you even follow your own rules.
My biggest complaint about "fair use" is "Royalty-free" licenses. I've had claims from both audio and visual footage on material I purchased a license to use. They'll wait up to the last minute (30 days) and then claim all of your income from your work. It's happened to me countless times. My hopes are that the RUclips library will grow two times the size it is now (it's gotten bigger and better already) and perhaps even offer copyright-free (licensed) footage for users in the future. That would help eliminate the predator companies from making their false claims. Sometimes the company doesn't even make the claim, a bot does for them.
I have a question about something kind of different to all of this: Last year I posted a video reviewing a hat that I bought from Wish. A few days ago a subscriber of mine let me know that a small company had taken footage of me trying on that hat from that video without my permission to advertise their product on facebook and instagram: a hat that looks very similar to the one I reviewed. The clip that they used in the ad makes it look like I'm trying on this companies hat and endorsing it when in reality I've never had any experience with that company and I don't know anything about their product. I messaged the company straight away and asked them to remove the ads as they never asked for my permission. They didn't respond so I reported the ads on facebook and instagram which have been taken down, but the company have messaged me now and I quote "before publishing any content to our page we were sure to thoroughly read over RUclips and Googles fair use policy on videos and video ads". I feel like I'm right in saying that what they did with using my content the way that they have is not fair use, but it's a company and being a very small creator I'm feeling pretty intimidated. Any advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!
I am not a lawyer. There is not fair use when a company uses material for advertising because ads have the purpose of generating revenues and there is no critics nor educational purpose in it. Worse, they are abusing your right of image (or whatever is called in US) and causing a damage to you that you may ask in compensation. So write down a formal letter, well written (possibly ask to a lawyer), do not be afraid to be *aggressive*, and firmly ask to cease and desist immediately, also add that through legal means you could even assess the case to call them to court and ask an appropriately consistent amount of money in compensation for the damages you suffered (list revenue losses, loss of credibility, moral damage, potential further costs). Caveats: if the company is resident in China unfortunately all the above can't be done, but you can still write to facebook to take it down. Ask for help to a lawyer. Good luck.
Maybe contact whatever government agency that deals with misleading advertising where you live. They will have more power and expertise to deal with this than you.
H3H3 got sued and won a fair use case in court. So there's legal precedent for fair use and RUclipsrs. Reaction channels are more likely to be fighting with RUclips over video demonetization. H3H3 no longer makes money from their podcast videos. They get money from sponsors for their audio-only podcasts.
Ok so I used audio that was CROPPED AND SPED UP to avoid copyright in one of my videos. Unfortunately the video got a copyright strike. This makes no sense.
Please make it harder to abuse this system, so that people who can't afford to or don't understand how to go to court are less likely to be bullied. Great video btw. Very informative. Also, I really enjoyed the voice of the talent. Well done. :)

Ok...so then why would youtube take down a video without an order from a judge?
Hahahahah🤣🤣
EXACTLY
Because the compnay can be sued if they don't take down a video in a certian time frame, money basically.
RUclips will take it down, then you claim it is fair use, back and forth, and the end of that process you will have to go to court to defend our rights.
But, that is the point almost all the fair use claims by the claimers are dropped and your video is restored.
Why Would copyright even apply on RUclips? why are policies like the three strike's implemented for copyright?. If there's no fair use applied on RUclips any content should be fair gain.
“Fair use protects you, but even if you do all these things, fair use probably doesn’t protect you”
It amazing she can state that its a law twice and people still blame them lol. The law was intended to help people who WORKED on the original project. Examples are anyone who works on film sets, video games, or other entertainment that wants to put it on a reel or resume later down the line. IT WASN'T INVENTED to give youtubers rights to copy-paste and profit off of other peoples content exactly 40 years later....
Like your insurance company.
That's about right. A judge will have to determine if it was "fair" or not...that's the only way to know. Hmmm...do I want to sit through a courtroom trial and play dice with how the judge is feeling on it, just to play a "fair use" game....mmmm, not really.
@@TegridyMadeGames i dont think the problem is that, the problem is, youtube will demonitize, take down or even ban creators without a courts decree, in most cases, youtube is just lynching and act as the judge jury and executioner without a courts judgement even though they claim ONLY a court's judge can decide, while at the same time they already decide a judgement themselves BEFORE the court's judgement.
@@ClearCallMinistriesdon't steal then.
this doesn't explain why copyright holders are the ones who hold all the power regarding disputes. youtube's default "we dont decide fair use" statement is a convenient cop-out that absolves them of any responsibility to address a rampant issue of copyright abuse from big companies like UMG that's plagued the site for years.
Currently all the so called fair use claimant has to do is claim fair use and then RUclips restores the stolen video and the only other recourse is to take the person who stole it court..
We hold all the power? Only until the person who stole our video says they didn't by claiming fair us
They don’t. If they take down your video and you know you’re in the right, you can always file a lawsuit against them. Whether that’s worth it is up to you.
because they are the owner.............. You guys don't seem to understand that this is LAW, not something youtube decides, as she stated twice.... "Fair use" was invented to help people who WORKED on a project to be allowed to use it later down the line. Think of all the people who work on film sets and want to clip it later for their reels, ect. It wasn't intended for people to just take other peoples work to improve their own.
@@TegridyMadeGameshow do you talk about a film without using clips from it?
RUclips doesn't decide anything, because no human looks at your claim/appeal. It's all done by A.I. routines. Google has worked very hard to insulate themselves from ever actually having to deal with the 'little people' who use their platforms and who create the content that make them profitable for Google.
The only time a human gets involved is if a dispute garners negative media attention.
This is very informative. One thing though, When people complain that their entire video got claimed for a two second copyright protected clip, they aren’t necessarily suggesting that two seconds is short enough to be considered fair use. They are saying that it’s not fair that the entirety of the ad revenue for the video now goes to someone that only owns two seconds of it. Your platform desperately requires revenue share.
yes... if I just use a copyright music in my video, than the revenue from the video should be shared among the two... not the whole revenue should go to copyright owner..

@TryHardNinja I generally agree with you, however I have exactly one viral video and another channel's author used a few seconds of mine video and of two other guys videos
a) without my and their permission nor notification
b) without any mention of origin
c) he added paid advertisement to his video
d) he made preview clickbate using stop frame from my video
e) he claimed my strike as fraudulent one
I won't go to court just because I have no spare time for that. I have less than $100 earnings for my entire channel a month, so I see no financial reason to sue that author. However it would be fine if he asked for reuse first, and added some link to my channel or my video he copied.

I have to admit that RUclips makes it too easy to strike a channel, and zero consequences for a false claim lends itself to abuse.
@Connor Welch not everyone has the option to go-to court. It is an expensive endeavour, and there is no guarantee you will get enough money to break even , if you win. It is RUclips's responsibility IMHO. They made a system that is easily abused and have become complicit with it's abuse. There needs to be a built-in consequence for abuse. As it stands, I think RUclips should be labeled an accessory on the cases that go-to Court. Maybe after that, RUclips will reconsider the system in place.
yeap 🙄
Understanding algebra and calculus is much more easier than understanding fair use
True story: Paramount PR invited me to a screening of one of their Mission Impossible movies for review. I made a video talking about my thoughts on the movie and ranking the Mission Impossible movies using some of their trailers video edited over me talking and criticizing the movies. Years later Paramount claimed the video - I disputed through YT and said it should fall under fair use but Paramount responded with a manual rejection. I ended up just deleting the video since the views weren't so high but it's annoying when a company invites you to something for review - you make a review video and then they basically kill your video (even after praising the movie).
We know where you are coming from but sometimes it can be hard to understand why a rights owner has claimed your video, but that doesn’t mean they’re not authorized to do so. You can always dispute a content ID claim that you believe was made in error: yt.be/help/LKJN. Hope this helps!

Here's a massive problem with RUclips's "fair use" approach, however. 02:41
"Companies are claiming just a few seconds of a video. How is that not abuse?"
Ignoring the "lol just use 3 seconds of audio and it's fine" nonsense people try to pull - copyrighted material for only a few seconds of a video DOES NOT at any point in licensing of copyrighted material result in ALL OF THE EARNINGS of that video being taken. There's so many elements of copyright-able work in a single video, that just copyright claim of the composition or recording of a song should NEVER take the entire revenue of a video. Period. This is a lazy, stealing method of not providing a tool for creators to license out these chunks of material. Sure, not every publisher will allow such licensing - but many do, RUclips just isn't facilitating that.
lol
Companies is much more VIP than there Creator

People put their love, life and soul into their channels just to get them false striked and possibly deleted.
How are music analysis channels even supposed to work then? Do you just talk about what you are referring to instead of playing at least a 5 seconds clip of it? That makes the video lose a lot of educational value, if not all of it. In the entire history of music teaching, teachers have always shown examples of everything they are explaining... this is still nonsense imo.
Official answer is "deal with it." you have to bear with it, get dmca'd, go through the process and argue fair use in court. The biggest argument will most likely be "Market Usurpation." example if its a song and people go to your vid just to listen to the song, you clearly usurped the songs marketability. And it would be up to you to argue in court that examining 5 sec of a song for educational purposes doesnt usurp the market. So yes, its abuse.. But youtube doesn't care
Unfortunately for the record labels out there they actually will lose in every court, and their only option is abusing the manual claim system and scaring people. The starting and stopping of the song, with your voice added with commentary about the music is in fact protected by fair use. By the same standard though you introducing a song like your a DJ or MTV VJ is not covered in anyway.
Education, Critiquing, and some forms of Sampling are protected, simply put using the entire raw audio in a video is not ok. There is a lot of ways around this but thats not the point.

@Crawford Klinner छिघघघघ
Okay, RUclips... explain this: I received a copyright claim because I played a piece of copyrighted music even though it should clearly fall under Fair Use.
1. I played a piece of music the original artist submitted to me himself, for the sole purpose of playing it on a live stream and giving him feedback on the production.
2. The content was educational in nature and the original artist benefits from it by learning something.
3. His piece of music wasn't the only piece played and critiqued, there were many more over the course of the stream, meaning the sole purpose of the stream was NOT to spread copyrighted material.
4. The claimant and the artist being represented are based in the US, so US Fair Use laws apply and thus the above-named things should be taken into account.
I, of course, disputed the claim since this should be considered Fair Use, the dispute was rejected. I then muted the audio of that song in particular, because live streams and donations are a big part of my channel and I can't risk losing those. However, the fact that the claimant rejected my Fair Use dispute even though it's a clear cut case of Fair Use is what is a problem to begin with and this all ties back to the horrible system RUclips uses where claimants get to decide if my dispute is right or wrong.
So this video specifically says, that only a judge can decide if something is Fair Use or not. So why then is it, when I file a dispute because I believe the claim is indeed Fair Use, that the claimant gets to decide over that and not a judge as you say? There is no court case until it reaches the point where the damage to my channel is already done! The claimant decides if my dispute is correct or false... If they reject it, I can appeal that decision, however with the risk of putting a copyright strike on my channel, limiting my options for live streaming and receiving donations, which are the two things that keep my channel going. So, not a viable option to risk that. Only if my appeal is rejected again it'll become a court case, but by that time, my channel will already have a strike on it limiting my channel severely. So we can safely say, this is not a viable option for me to take. RUclips keeps specifically stating in this video they can't decide if something is Fair Use or not and that only a judge can, then why is that not happening when I dispute a claim based on Fair Use? You are literally proven yourself wrong with this exact statement in the video.
When you drag somebody into court, that is a fight between 2 parties and the third party, the judge, is the one to make an unbiased judgment. You are not going to let the defendant or accuser decide on the result of the court case right? So when I receive a copyright claim, why is there no third party to look over these? Why is the claimant the one to decide if I'm right or wrong? That is like having a court case and letting the accuser decide if the defender's arguments are false or correct. RUclips should have a team of copyright specialists looking into every single copyright case as a third party overlooking the process to make sure things go the way they should.
And then I haven't even talked about the copyright claims that I constantly receive when I'm making music on RUclips, claims on videos where the video itself already disproves the claim itself and therefore should never be appearing on my channel in the first place. The fact that I receive claim after claim on content which is clearly my own is a big sign something is horribly broken when it comes to copyright on RUclips.
So, instead of ignoring all my tweets, comments, emails and other forms of contact I tried, maybe it would be wise to at least come back to me with an explanation like you would expect in the case of a RUclips "partnership". We creators signed an agreement to be in a partnership with RUclips, yet we creators completely lack the amount of transparency and communication you would expect from a true partnership. So, is it really a partnership or does RUclips simply call it that when it actually isn't?
As a creator who has spend a lot of time on this platform since day one, I can sadly say that I'm reaching a point where IF a new platform equivalent to RUclips shows up, I would not hesitate one bit to jump ship. And as a creator who has put thousands of hours into his channel, that is a very hard choice to make. However, we've reached a point where things are so broken, RUclips is moving into a direction that is favoring big corporations over the independent creators who have been the reason of the success of RUclips, and I absolutely don't like that.
If during this entire wall of text I have understood something wrong, then please RUclips respond and explain it to me instead of ignoring me making matters a lot worse. I signed the partnership agreement years ago, but until this date, I have never received any help when it comes to issues with my channel, nor has RUclips ever responded to any of my questions I asked them... Now THAT is a great partnership... not!
Bravo! Well said.

are we allowed to show pictures from tv shows? Or is that subject to fair use also?
Easier said then done...
I just wanna ask.. if we use a fair use.. is we still can monetize our channel?
@Sugma court orders? How wich?
The problem isnt that we/creators dont know what fair use it. The problem is that the ORIGINAL COPYRIGHT HOLDERS DON'T HONOR THE FAIR USE!
They don’t? Explain
@@MichaelGlennglennimages An example is when a really boring video is being used for the purpose of criticism, which is valid under Fair Use, and the original copyright holder being criticized makes a claim not only because they don't like what's being said about them, but also because the new, edited, and highly transformative video gets more views.
@@ursonate yes that is correct. The chance of losing a fair use case in that specific instance is unlikely. Although if one wanted to sue for it they could. It would cost them time and money.
Creators are copyright holders. People who use others work are copyright infringers. Aggregators. They aren’t creators.
@@ursonate Fair Use is not absolute simply because you claim it. Google it, or watch this video again.
RUclips is pandering so heavily to the corporations in this video. "Only courts have the ability to decide" is RUclips saying "We won't treat it as fair use until the courts decide". Look at how they threaten creators by saying "Even a few seconds may not be deemed fair use". This is how they convince you that removing content automatically without any legal action being taken by the corporation is reasonable. How can you have a fair use doctrine when every video, even those that fall under fair use, is swiftly removed from the platform when even a few seconds of material is caught by its copyright checking robots? This is "guilty until proven innocent", not "innocent until proven guilty", and it is truly unjust.
You honestly put it perfectly. Do you mind if I quote you in a paper I'm writing for my English class?
From what I can tell DMCA muddies the water. It forces RUclips to remove videos or risk being sued for inaction. So RUclips is playing it safe for themselves by going over board and removing fair use content. I think if the law was updated to make the type of copyrighted content you have to remove more specific it would help.
@@whompetgaming3881 screw the DMCA
What I love so much is that monetary "creators" work around these (uhhh) rules by adding copywritten music clips to copywritten video clips to make entirely new videos.
Apparently it's working...
Imagine this getting copyrighted
Emilol 1001 she’s copying a hairstyle, copySTRIKE
Irony.
This is actually covered by copyright and RUclips can decide what use is allowed. So even RUclips can go after thieves when they steal stuff.
Just a question, if I dressed up as the Joker and do one of my videos normally, is this fair use?
Parody you mean?
Wouldn’t bother me cause I don’t know what the Joker should really look like.
I like your response Bec R
If you dress up as the Joker, act like the Joker and in no way change anything about it as well as monetizing your video... it would not be fair use.
WB owns the on screen likeness of the Joker and you could essentially cause them to lose money (not really likely) from their version. So not fair use.
If you parody the Joker in some way, it would be far safer overall.
If you dress up as Mario, Nintendo will take you down. They're very aggressive about their copyrights and most creators stay clear of them.
What’s the point on doing fair use if RUclips will determinate you can’t monetize because reused content
In short "Fair Use" is of no use
Right😂
Twice I pulled music from the RUclips Audio library and it was flagged as copyrighted. The second time, I went through the dispute process and had to wait 30 days for the video to be able to be monetized, even though it was RUclips's already-approved music.
Some songs require you give them a specific type of credit. That may be the reason why.
@@TreeBarkProductions how would anyone find that out for any specific song? if its on the public domain list, that's defeating the entire purpose of public domain. Id be curious which artists would upload public domain music just to fuckin strike it. That would be good content for a video actually.

4:05 Automated systems like content ID shouldn't be able to automatically demonetise someone's video. It should be able to notify potential copyright claimants, but that's it.
Since fair use is in your own words "subjective case-by-case decision", you CANNOT use a guilty until proven innocent' approach. That is objectively wrong.

@@13Omood smh. something needs to be done about this. all of the mainstream youtube celebrities need to unify for change.
"Fair Use" can truthfully only be determined in court. As a platform for media hosting and sharing youtube can be held liable for the content they are hosting. Hence why things are the way they are on the site. If things are going to change it has to be done on a legislative level first

If you plan to include copyright-protected material in your video, you’ll generally need to seek permission to do so first. RUclips can’t grant you these rights and we can’t help you find the parties who can grant them to you. You’ll have to research and handle this process on your own or with a lawyer’s help.

In other words, don't even think about being a small creator unless your content is just going to be you talking to the camera, or graphs, charts, and images you made.
This is just a nice way of explaining how great corporations are basically taking over youtube. Most of us, contents creators, know that companies have been striking us mercilessly for using a few seconds of their material in what would clearly classify as Fair Use. Those false strikes are being designed to actually take control away from contents creators.

@@wisevoice5393 How to videos and motivational videos are the only things I ever get promoted to me these days. You need to realize that everyone on RUclips is seeing something different.

There are billions of videos on here about everything, and most are not going away anytime soon. They are encouraging us to do original content because it saves them the hassle of dealing with copyright strikes. The more we comply, the more carefree money they make.
@@rka1010 Pretty sure them getting no hits and no subscribers has nothing to do with no one wanting to see their content. With professional looking thumbnails like those, they should at least be getting clicks. Also you're not one to talk about doing things everyone else does.

I get this message a lot! "This video was found to contain copyrighted material. It is being monetized but revenue is being shared with the copyright owner." I don't use other people's recordings when making my videos but create my own music. Yes, it is not always original music because I'm teaching songs on my channel. Shouldn't the copyright owner be able to only take 5% of my revenue if I'm only putting their material into 5% of my video? That is NOT what is happening. They are revenue sharing the whole video cutting my revenue WAY DOWN or cutting my ability to monetize completely. That's not fair.
"The main focus of your video is copyrighted material"
So what happens to movie reviews/commentaries?
Yes... What happens to movie reviews??? Somebody pls clarify
Same, my channel basically focuses on commenting current tennis news, so I use a lot of images for this. Is this fair use?
Didn't they say that reviews was fair use? I'm not sure tho, I'm myself trying to solve the problem with fair use stuff...
@@goonjmotivational Criticism falls under fair use.
Delayed reply but here it is...
This will fall under another section known as "use for criticism and review" in "transformative content"
As long as you are criticising or reviewing the copyrighted material during its use..it is considered as fair use
Please note I am no legal advisor and I don't claim any liability for adverse effects to your channel...but the above message is what I found out from a few youtubers
What is fair use?
H3H3 vs Matt Hoss. Your best example on the platform.
yes but media corps ignore it.. how many hollywood clips have you used and gotten away with it?
Good question. Fair use is a legal doctrine that says you can reuse copyright-protected material under certain circumstances without getting permission from the copyright owner. Learn more here: yt.be/help/3Zuw
It's not an example. Court cases often also rely on how good the lawyer is, so a small RUclipsr who doesn't have the H3 millions might lose the same case.
@@RUclipsViewers AKA bot that just attended the question without noticing it was a retoric question
@@TheOutThereChannel the keywork here is clips and assuming the clips were used in a transformative piece of content why is this claimable? you always have to ask is it: "transformative" is it "educational" is it "a critic" the problem here is most of the time these things are often debatable and youtube doesn't have the authority to say one way or the other, unfortunately they are between a rock and hard place and have to allow people to report such things and this reporting system is hugely open to abuse by people who don't care or simply don'y understand these things.
It really is time that this was standardised. How are we as creators supposed to do our work if we constantly get claims and strikes? I teach guitar. How am I supposed to teach a song that I'm not allowed to play? Even if I don't use the original video or audio and simply perform the piece myself, I still get copyright claims. This appears to be getting worse of late. Perhaps an Organisation the size of RUclips could be doing more to protect creators rather than passing the buck? Frustrating to say the least.
Yes very annoying. I’m just trying to make a compilation but this stuff is so intimidating and I don’t feel protected
So why are you allowing people to report videos, then they get to decide if it’s a good claim or not.
Please tell me .
What is misleading title ..?
One thing that would help *_immensely_* for music problems, is for RUclips to allow & keep multiple audio tracks in uploads. That way, any music that is NOT in the same track as the creator's voice or main audio can be safely removed without affecting voice or main audio quality. This way, it lies on the creator to record and/or upload with multiple audio tracks so these things can be separated from the start.
And here we are 4 years later and nothing has change.
I always wondered how reaction YT channels do it.
😅😂
Ninja techniques...
Ikr they monitize their channel whole channel witg copyright claim i'm like how?!.

They aren't claiming the content but rather giving "criticism" (reacting)
I have a copyright claim on one of my videos for using a free stock footage clip from a website that states right next to the clip that it's free to use and no attribution is needed. What I have learned is that RUclips will let anyone claim ownership of a creator's video without investigating it, so basically anyone can steal ad revenue just by saying that they own a portion of your work. This system is seriously flawed.

Now explain how musicians, can claim copy rights on basic corde notes or even melodic modes, used for hundreds of years to teach music. And how do you expect for a small creators to be encouraged to creat educational content and fight big companies in court.
So do you mean to say that actual people on RUclips, average people have been taken to court and lost their hard earned possessions because a multi national company feels aggrieved?
actually, I think she said, YT knows nothing, sees nothing, and DOES nothing.... unless you're big media.... it's all so rigged. CNN/FOX could run a 45 minute segment on the Batwoman on CW showing virtually the WHOLE episode and nothing, you can't play 12 seconds of the trailer and critique it. watch this video a few times, there's more double talk in there than there was in the last debate!
Yes Bec, if you are using someone else's work to try and profit it doesn't matter how much money they have or you have, you are breaking the law and they have every right to sue you.
Don't use copyrighted material unless you actually know what you are doing and are prepared to spend money defending that position in court.
@@PrimalEdge There is no two class system and this isn't a RUclips thing. This is copyright LAW, if you don't like copyright law talk to your government about it.
In terms of your example, no CNN can not just run a whole episode of someone else's content and get away with that. CNN and The CW are both owned by Warner Media. CNN can run as much of an episode from the CW as they want as long as the editor approves it with corporate. What you're describing is called cross promotion.
Further to that point, you also seem to fail to understand behind the scenes licencing. Large media groups have entire media departments filled with lawyers. They know what they can and can not get away with under the law, but where they want to use someone else's work they licence it just for safe measure. So let's say CNN wanted to play a clip shot by the BBC, they would contact distributions and licencing at the BBC News desk and pay a fee (usually somewhere from $500 - $5000) to licence that clip for the express use purpose. No copyright is violated because they have permission.
TJ Marx I’m not really sure if you accidentally wandered here or not, but this is YT. You might want to check it out. Maybe see some of the hundreds of thousands of hours of content out there where people are critiquing movies books TV shows video games and pretty much anything and everything out there that is copywritten. The only reason this copyright fair use issue has come up in the last year is because big media has moved off of their platforms on to RUclips. And before you respond go out there and check the hundreds of thousands of hours of people that have Paul proof that their stuff has been demonetized where in the past it has not. The fair use laws haven’t changed, the content creators have grown. And this all happened right around the same time RUclips has made a large push towards throttling back on “non-confirmed media outlets“ and there’s tons of videos on that as well. Ever since all the big media companies have piled onto RUclips and started monetizing their channels on RUclips all the other content creators who have been enjoying monetization for over a decade have started to see Demonetization and D platforming as well as having videos removed. This was never an issue for almost 15 years it’s only come up in the last 18 months. Check the fax. This is not my opinion, this is me watching it happen first hand.

It seems impossible to find real world examples of RUclips videos that are and are not fair use. Even searching the US government's website for past court cases about fair use, there's only a tiny number of cases involving this. We need more examples to better defend our works
Explaining what fair use is and refusing to change the horrible content ID system. FAIR USE DOESN'T MATTER IF WE STILL GET CLAIMED. This is just a way to shield themselves and say they acknowledged it.
Their content ID system is broken because I was using a video for commentary but since the content ID couldn't account for that I still got my video blocked. WHY DOES RUclips USE AN AI SYSTEM IF IT CAN'T DO IT'S JOB RIGHT?!
According to RUclips there *is no* fair use. If "only a judge can decide if it is", they simply assume nothing is and the content creator has to deal with it
Even though it may qualify for fair use, I avoid using copyrighted content because I don’t want to take the risk.
Exactly. It's not that difficult.
Fair use is a trick, it still leads to copyright even if it’s not.
Sooo, basically, damned if you do, damned if you don't?
Got it.
Great video keep it up
nah
I'm currently a reactor on here that watches TV shows, but before I started I made sure that I knew as much as I could about fair use. For me, if you wanted to react to a TV show and upload it to RUclips, the video can't exceed 10 minutes of footage, but only within 30 second clips, and then leaving out 5 seconds before using another 30 seconds. There have been a few copyright claims against me but I dispute the claim and explain how I use the allowed 10 minutes within 30 second clips, 9 times out of 10 the claim is removed. Hope this helps a few people out.
Have you reacted on a copy right video from other channel ??
and will it be more easier to react to a creative common license video ?
3 years later but those are made up rules. This video itself says so. If something is copyrighted then it’s copyrighted, stealing it 30 seconds at a time doesn’t change the fact that you are using copyrighted material.
Now maybe what you do is fair use for other reasons, but this whole 10-minute, 30-second clip stuff is nonsense
Original content is still the safest one regardless of how bad our content could be.
true...subscribe to channel Mike Karanja 001
I am planning on creating a top ten countdown videos channels that use alot of......... fair use clips? Like the channel called "Top trending". Would that be a bad idea?
We're not in a position to provide legal advice. If you're using someone else's content, you'll want to learn more about copyright. There's tons of info to get you started here: yt.be/help/VrKj. Hope this helps clarify.
This is very informative. One thing though, When people complain that their entire video got claimed for a two second copyright protected clip, they aren’t necessarily suggesting that two seconds is short enough to be considered fair use right now thanks😍
To summarize: You basically can’t use ANY copyrighted material and be sure you won’t be demonetized 🤢🤮 It’s time we changed copyright rules. It really stifles creativity and the Internet in general.
and it's only getting worse
You missed the part where you can't use original material. The part where RUclips will claim your video anyway.
Stephan Reiken Yes. I’ve heard that people got copy strike for using material that is public domain or some other license that allows for redistribution and copying (like Creative Commons).

@@Luaxon yeah.. i always doing meme edits.. i used Bastille - Pompeii song in 1 video.. if i ever monetize that video .. will it get copyright claim or channel strike.?
It WOULD be nice if RUclips offered the ability to store audio tracks separately from video - so that if there is a copyright claim on music previously labeled as "no copyright" then we would have the option of substituting the offending section of track without disturbing the video.
I have to say I do appreciate the extra requirements RUclips has added for those trying to claim videos. Especially letting us know what the specific problem is when there is one.
No one likes seeing that yellow $ or getting that claim email.
Personally, I've found that "transformative" is the most important for video.
And I never ever use any copyrighted music. There's so much copyright free and creative commons 0 music out there!
I look forward to RUclips putting in place even more creator-friendly strategies regarding Fair Use.
The more transparency we get, the more creative we can be!
It's starting to feel much less adversarial with, and again, it's much appreciated!
Now, if I can just figure out how to get videos suggested 😉.

Try to give yt a taste of its own medicine by reuploading footage from this vid then try to false copyright claim this video
RUclips’s copyright system is horrible and I agree mate. How come we need to pay lots of money to play proper music!
Such a great idea
Considering a friend followed fair use, still got their channel terminated, you refuse to help, and now they're depressed and had to be talked down from self harm.....no I don't think you even follow your own rules.
My biggest complaint about "fair use" is "Royalty-free" licenses. I've had claims from both audio and visual footage on material I purchased a license to use. They'll wait up to the last minute (30 days) and then claim all of your income from your work. It's happened to me countless times. My hopes are that the RUclips library will grow two times the size it is now (it's gotten bigger and better already) and perhaps even offer copyright-free (licensed) footage for users in the future. That would help eliminate the predator companies from making their false claims. Sometimes the company doesn't even make the claim, a bot does for them.
I have a question about something kind of different to all of this:
Last year I posted a video reviewing a hat that I bought from Wish. A few days ago a subscriber of mine let me know that a small company had taken footage of me trying on that hat from that video without my permission to advertise their product on facebook and instagram: a hat that looks very similar to the one I reviewed.
The clip that they used in the ad makes it look like I'm trying on this companies hat and endorsing it when in reality I've never had any experience with that company and I don't know anything about their product.
I messaged the company straight away and asked them to remove the ads as they never asked for my permission. They didn't respond so I reported the ads on facebook and instagram which have been taken down, but the company have messaged me now and I quote "before publishing any content to our page we were sure to thoroughly read over RUclips and Googles fair use policy on videos and video ads".
I feel like I'm right in saying that what they did with using my content the way that they have is not fair use, but it's a company and being a very small creator I'm feeling pretty intimidated.
Any advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!
Get a lawyer. This is beyond RUclips comments. They cannot use you, especially for advertising purposes like that.
I am not a lawyer. There is not fair use when a company uses material for advertising because ads have the purpose of generating revenues and there is no critics nor educational purpose in it. Worse, they are abusing your right of image (or whatever is called in US) and causing a damage to you that you may ask in compensation. So write down a formal letter, well written (possibly ask to a lawyer), do not be afraid to be *aggressive*, and firmly ask to cease and desist immediately, also add that through legal means you could even assess the case to call them to court and ask an appropriately consistent amount of money in compensation for the damages you suffered (list revenue losses, loss of credibility, moral damage, potential further costs). Caveats: if the company is resident in China unfortunately all the above can't be done, but you can still write to facebook to take it down. Ask for help to a lawyer. Good luck.
Maybe contact whatever government agency that deals with misleading advertising where you live. They will have more power and expertise to deal with this than you.
How do reaction channels even profit? Are they constantly fighting in court or what? Anyway, I guess I'll stay away from doing reactions then
H3H3 got sued and won a fair use case in court. So there's legal precedent for fair use and RUclipsrs. Reaction channels are more likely to be fighting with RUclips over video demonetization. H3H3 no longer makes money from their podcast videos. They get money from sponsors for their audio-only podcasts.
