Hey Brian! That is so kind of you. I really appreciate you watching 👊😃 Just trying to take the lessons I learn from you (and Nico) and apply them to my channel -- thanks for "burning the midnight oil" to help us creators out there!
Brian, what does that mean, pushed out? I watched your videos as well and frankly, brian g johnston scared me into deleting a bunch of content off my channel... Now I watch this and think man, those were ok.... I am still very confused and concerned.... Can I send Lan a few links and ask if they are ok for fair use?
@Pearl Agon yup, thats copyright. Unless you follow the tips given in the video. But why upload the whole movie on youtube? Surely other people can find it on the net. Unless you are reviewing the movie.
Yes but passively letting you upload copyrighted content w/o stopping you and saying the owner allows use on the platform but then throws you under the bus if the owner changes their mind and files a take-down request is underhanded. They should still get sued for allowing the content to be uploaded in the first place.
I find a really good way to make use of short clips from pop culture/movies is to make your own audio to go over the video clip. If the quote from the clip is what you need, you could read it yourself. Extra transformation like this just makes it easier to prevent corporate bullies from coming at you or algorithms false flagging.
The information is extremely professional and useful. It deserves more views than the bunch of other youtubers without any law degree offering advise on copyright issues just for the views!
The BEST way to avoid copyright strikes is to NOT use someone else's content, unless the uploader demonstrates discussion/debate/education of specific part(s) of the content. Just putting it up, without demonstrating "fair-use" procedure, is nothing more than rebroadcasting. Simply stating that the uploader does not own the copy does not exonerate that uploader, who doesn't adhere to fair-use guidelines. Comments left by viewers also does not exonerate an uploader who doesn't adhere to fair-use guidelines. Just playing the clip, and doing nothing else, violates those terms. I'm not the fair-use police. But that's the gist of fair-use.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Every other youtuber I found who discussed this topic was vague or unsure but your explanation was thorough and clear. I feel much more confident now on approaching my videos with fair use. THANK YOU SO MUCH
@@iancorzine Hello Ian. And most blessings for all your work. I'd like to make a practical question with an example. ruclips.net/video/VYgTWmbPd30/видео.html When this guy uses videoclips from Goldfinder or reels from the forties and fifties, is making a correct use of these in the video? Or is he risking a strike? Or sharing the monetization of the channel? Yor video was enlightning but I'm having a real hard time understanding this in comment and political channels like this. I know this is an old video but I'd really like to understand this!

When I made my first youtube short, I didn't just get a copyright strike, I got my channel taken down and privileges for being able to make future channels taken away. I think the reason why is because I used the audio of a Bo Burnham song at the beginning-- but I both put my own captions on to simulate dialogue the way many creators do on Tik Tok and Instagram shorts, and the very next sentence was commenting on the lyrics- "This song captures a feeling I think a lot of us have..." Even if I was in violation of fair use, I'm happy to take the video down, but it feels unfair for my whole channel to be banned and for me to be unable to make future RUclips channels.
Shhhhh!!! I'm hoping they see it as Fair Use and teaching. I literally have my fingers crossed that I do not become their next target. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
Ian Corzine haha hopefully they won’t mess with an attorney. I actually just disputed 3 claims after watching this. Hopefully they see my stuff as transformative. I just don’t see how they get away with claiming a whole 10 minute vid for a 6 second segment of a meme that I made that doesn’t even use the context of the songs. It’s always very transformative though so hopefully they release the claims
Now with "transformation" being a requirement on copyrighted art, what if someone were to take a copyrighted song, slow it down and add some reverb and effects to it? ("Slowed + Reverb" music channels are everywhere on YT now). Would that count as transforming art to make it your own and qualify under fair use?
I had several remixes but they all got claims. At anytime, the rights holder can file a take-down request and your channel get a strike. It's a hit/miss thing and the only way to fight it would be to have a court decide it.
I don’t think this works anymore with what RUclips is doing nowadays, not to be mean, but I have seen copyright strikes for things that follow your information and are as short as 3 seconds, but anyway, thanks for doing stuff like this
Hi Liam!! The tips still work, but you have to know what you are doing. Unfortunately Fair Use is not an exact science. There are no hard rules, but I am hoping that my videos help creators better understand how to use the laws correctly. I have several other videos that discuss Fair Use and copyright in more detail AND they are even fun and interactive. 👊😀
I agree that many have received and will continue to receive copyright strikes for things that are obviously well within fair use. As Ian mentioned in the video, that's because these are financial decisions that have nothing to do with the law per se. RUclips management obviously wants to cut their costs in dealing with copyright infringement/fair use claims. It is far more cost effective for RUclips to create an algorithm that weeds out potential problems before they even start, than to have to pay skilled staff to investigate claims.
You are most welcome!! The concept of Fair Use and copyright are tricky topics. If you are interested in learning more, I have done several more recent videos that teach about these ideas. These videos are fun and interactive so you might be interested. Thanks for watching AND please let me know if you ever have any questions. 👊😁
@@iancorzine Cool! I have found myself binge watching your videos, over the last 7 days or so, lol - Really trying to educate myself, and soak up this important information... I do have one question, a really good friend of mine, called me a few hours ago, and said that when he woke up this morning to log into his account, that RUclips said that it was terminated! He's EXTREMELY puzzled, and confused as to why this happened, as he is someone that STRICTLY follows (the rules of society, as well as) RUclips rules and guidelines. He said that he sent them an immediate message to appeal it, and explain his case, and explain to them the last thing he did on RUclips, before going to bed. And I told him, that I would look through RUclips to see if I could find anything that could help him out. Is there any advise that I can give him? (Oh, and side note, when I asked him if he had ever received any strikes by RUclips, and he said he's never received any).
Hi Esmeralda!! How do you think the laws should be changed? To make it easier to use other's material, or to make it harder? And, what if someone uses your material without your permission and benefits monetarily from it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching. 👊😀
Ian Corzine definitely make it easier for user to use the material. However, I’m not a creator so I may have a basis viewpoint on this subject. I just don’t like extreme restrictions.
Rick Beato has raised this very issue and has even successfully fought against his content being blocked. The copyright holders get free publicity and they can even monetize the content they hold the rights to. Everything works in their favor. Music should not be guarded by the proverbial "wicked witch". It should be allowed to be interpreted and transformed and those variants be shared with others AS LONG as the one doing it is not trying to profit from it or is trying to damage the reputation of the music artist.
I had a music video of mine taken down once by YT for copyright but I was able to prove that my music video had predated the claimant's published music by a couple of years and was made using the same music creation program. So it was possible that we had both independently come up with pieces that sounded similar in places. The main difference was I just posted mine to YT as an unknown indie artist while the other person's piece was released by a music publishing label. However, YT did reinstate my video.
What aboutt audiobooks that II see people just read using AI Voice? Can they use copyright art from a different media? Are they gonna get claims? Also, I see many anime/manhwa/manhua comics being captured for under 3 secs for each panel but are shown for an entire chapter. They use AI voice to read the speech bubbles along with describing what is happening in non speech bubble panels. Can they use copyright art from a different media? Will they get claims as well?
Dude, this is Fantastic. thank you for being so absolutely approachably comprehensible about both the theory and the checklist as well as just the whole basic mentality behind Fair use. this is widely educational, thank you so much for posting and I hope your channel flourishes for it!
Hi LordThanos!! Thanks for watching. 👊😁 I get asked this question a lot and it's not an easy question to answer. The 2 main reasons the clips may not have been taken down is because 1) they have permission to use the clips or 2) they are a monetized channel and are being allowed to use the clips, but are not getting any money from the views. I hope this answers your question.
Same here whenever I upload a clip of Avengers Endgame I get a copyright claim even tho other channels are also posting them but they don't get like wth youtube
if u look closely as the above mentioned by u and the list of others also and similar, its hidden in plainsight of how its hand in hand they scrating eachothers scrotes fo fininSALE games gained lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I KEPT WONDERING HOW THESE RUclipsRS ARE ABLE TO USE MOVIE CLIPS IN THEIR CHANNELS WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE. NOW I KNOW, THANKS AGAIN IAN.
Yeah because they think that you're just uploading a clip for others to watch, so to avoid this you can move the screen you're watching the clip on so you can see a bit of a background (shrink the screen basically) 😁
I totally agree Nelly. But once you understand the concept of Fair Use and copyright then it gets easier. I have done a lot more videos that will teach you about these topics. Some of the videos are fun and interactive and you will be surprised how much you are learning. Search them out and then let me know if you have any questions. Good luck with your channel. 👊😁☘
@@iancorzine In my opinion, fair use should only entitle one to use the copyrighted material but not profit from it. I had remixes and/or mashups of copyrighted music and got claims. In some cases where the video got blocked, I appealed the blocking claiming fair use and they would get removed but the claims _should_ remain and the rights owner still be entitled to make money. That is a fair trade for using their music but featuring my own spin on it. I see their music as being the focus of the video. Now if I was in a mall recording something, such as the fountain, a glass elevator or a display but a song was playing in the background, I don't see the music being the focus of the video and perhaps it should be allowed to be monetized where at least the owner still getting a small percentage but the music is not what is being focused and nobody is going to want to pirate it since it's not as distinguishable. Either way, I wouldn't dispute a claim over it.
I can't believe this is such a common question!! 😀 A lot of creators have put all their time and talent into their channel and really take pride in what they have achieved. They would be devastated if RUclips terminated their channel. The reality is that i have heard from so many creators who feel exactly like that. I made the comment jokingly, but it does ring true to a lot. Thanks for watching. 👊😀
Hey bro! Thank you so much for watching 👊😃 That means a lot to me. I see you have 65k subs! Congratulations! You're doing it. What sorts of videos do you do?
Thank you for this video. I recently uploaded a video and used a few seconds of the Dust Bowl and wanted to make sure I cited it correctly for Fair Use. Thanks again! And I see you got the Brian G Johnson seal of approval. That's all I need to follow your advice.
Thanks for watching my video Mac!! 👊😁 Eagle Scout in 2 years that is crazy!! Best of luck to you on achieving it! If you ever have any questions please reach out to me. What kind of videos do you post on your other channel??

Hi there MonkeySquad!! 🙈🙉🙊🐵 Thanks or watching! RUclips has a content ID program that will automatically pick up on the music (whether it is in a mashup or not) and will flag it as copyrighted music. RUclips is really cracking down right now on anything that is copyrighted so they will not get sued. Be very careful with your 2 strikes; if you get 3 strikes your channel will be taken down. The strikes will disappear after about 90 days, so try not to post anything that you are unsure about. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. 👊😁
I got a 16secs video of my family playing Volleyball claimed for copyrights because of a backround song from The Cranberries playing... Seriously? 16secs!!! A speaker playing in our yard the song while we play!!! I don't even monetize my videos!!! What the heck?
Here’s my question. What about all those people out there who do lip-synch or dance videos. Some of them have even gone viral. How do they do that without infringing on copyright? Or getting strikes on their channels?
I'm an amateur musician. In the past, I've tried using my own crude form of attribution. Yet although I never got a strike, I got a few warnings. It's never been my intention to violate anyone's copyright. I would use the material just to benchmark my own performance. Thanks for your explanation
Striked, 2 weeks ago I got one for using just 7 seconds of a Song By the Great Kat. BUT there are other youtubers who have used her Music some even uploaded Full Albums by her. I just got it because i was criticizing her, which is supposed to fall into fair Use Right?
It's sort of tricky if for example the policies change if everything was alright before. That's how I got striked. It seemed like all was well then from nowhere the copyright policies were changed bummer.
@@Farm-ch8ws Either your videos should be "grand-fathered in" or you should be given a fair warning about the changes and either remove the content or get permission to used it. Of course that makes sense and therefore is not acceptable.
5:46 Here it is, 2023. Ive been looking ALL over You Tube for "an answer" to the age old question of Fair Use in content. Got ever so sick of hearing/seeing use this or that service to pay for JUST to not use the music already recorded into the content(story for another time, I guess). I HAD to find this section of this channel and got way more than an answer I was looking for. And then it hit me... THIS part of this clip made me think of Vanilla Ice with "Ice Ice, Baby" lmao! Thank you, for this, Ian. I knew you were the only person I could find and trust as "The Social Media Lawyer"!
HA!! Thanks for watching. I'm glad I could provide you with useful information. Just so you know...I have several other videos that will give you more information if you are interested. Keep on learning (and not using) ...👊😀
Thanks for the great info, Ian! I'm a film scholar and want to review the performances of specific film actors and show clips to explain my analysis.I've noticed some content creators pull up a video they're reviewing on their laptop and make it a PIP (Picture in Picture). Is this OK? Does this fall under the "creating a new piece of art" category if I add the clip as a PIP? Or, is there another way to avoid legal problems? I've been holding off for a long time because I was unsure of the legal ramifications. Please help!
Hi i am still a little confused.. i have use a audio clip from a film and made my own stop motion animation to go over it… if i attribute the original film can i use it on my youtube channel without a strike?
Ian Corzine Sorry sir what happens if I want to record a game (with game's soundtrack on) and I don't want to get monetized for the games that I leaving the soundtracks on do I still gonna get the copyright issues?(sorry for my bad English btw)
What about if you use memes for a few seconds as like a reaction to something within the video? I see it happen so many times so I was curious if memes are seen as copyright protected as well?
My channel started off barely getting any views for the first few months and then I changed the way I interacted with my audience and then I suddenly started getting thousands of views! Keep working hard and make sure to stay consistent, you WILL get there, it’s just a matter of how much effort you put into your videos. Good luck everyone!
Strike: I uploaded a video of a flash flood storm that my wife filmed while I was driving and we had the radio playing, and the copyright strike was for the song on the radio.
Hey RedDragon! Thanks so much for watching 👊😀 Ha! Turn off the radio ... I have met so many RUclipsrs like you who unintentionally have background music in their videos -- actually, it is totally legal and does not violate copyright law BUT YT's Content ID picks it up and puts a claim on it.
@@iancorzine thanks for the reply Ian. I will have to take a look and find where that is written so I have it for a rebuttal. I haven't uploaded much more of these kinds of videos to my channel for fear of another strike. I can't just drive around in silence all the time!

Unfortunately RUclips doesn't care where you get the video from. 😢😢 You have to have the right to use it AND if you don't then you can only use 2-5 secs {10 secs max} and then you need to comment or react directly to the video. I hope this answers your question. I have also created several other videos that discuss Fair Use and Copyright matters. Here is one of them: ruclips.net/video/n0BIx2zsEJU/видео.html&lc=UgxDu1YhPbaAl721Uqp4AaABAg Watch a few of my videos and see if you start to understand the issue better. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
@@iancorzine i already used the entire video but i transform it and i didn't get any strike. But the audio is not sure but since the Claimant didn't use audio maybe it means its good.
Strike. I made a video demonstrating a mixing technique, where the sample I used came with the popular DAW Pro Tools as a sound pack. Someone in Uganda used the same guitar sample as the basis of their terrible song. CD Baby flagged my video as being in breach because I supposedly used a portion of a copyrighted work, when in fact we had both used the same sample. In my case, the sample was used in an educational setting to teach a technique, but this did not seem to matter to RUclips. I couldn't monetize the video and so decided to undertake the painstaking work of recording a different guitar part that lined up with the original video clips. I've HATED CD Baby ever since!
Strike: We wrote a song with another person and we played that song on our channel and the other writer put a strike on us. We don't understand? The song has never been officially release not sure if that has anything to do with it. There is more, this other channel has video of us!
This my friend sounds like a bigger issue than copyrighted material. You may want to seek out an attorney in your area that can help. It sounds like your "partner" is claiming the song as their own, and you may need to put an end to that a.s.a.p.
I tried to upload my music video through Ditto and it wasnt even allowed to go up on VEVO because the person who made my music video used clips from the 1951 Alice In Wonderland.
The Free to Use Act, didn't say anything about having to change the content. It says you have the right to use copyrighted content as long as its for educational, entertainment or general information purposes, and as long as you are not making money off of the copyrighted material. Now seeing as they are protecting themselves from lawsuits by violating citizens rights, by hiding behind a corporate policy, which has no law behind it. And presuming guilt over innocence, which is a constitutional violation, they are assuming their liability is protected. But as it is the private company asking for the strike, it is up on them to prove the violation of policy, not the other way around. The police can claim/charge me with a crime but the burden of proof is their burden. And corporate policy does not trump Constitutional Law/Bill of Rights. I see no reason why a content creator, can use any copyrighted material for entertainment/educational purposes as long as the creator does not make money off the video. Which is what the Free to use Act states. If Google/RUclips want to avoid legal action they should weight the bigger liabilities, corporations and copyright laws, or citizens and both Constitutional laws and Bill of Rights violations, plus if it's a continuous unsupported violation, then there is a liability for defamation of character, another law. So 3 legal issues versus 1 maybe a violation. These companies who are abusing RUclips's policies, are going to get Google into legal trouble. So they need to pick the side of less resistance. Because, yes RUclips does not charge to put videos up on their sight, but without the content creators videos there would be no use for the RUclips website.
Hey James! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate the time it took you to write it. Well, I see where you’re coming from and I agree that abuse is rampant. 👊🏻😊
_I see no reason why a content creator, can use any copyrighted material for entertainment/educational purposes as long as the creator does not make money off the video._ Did you mean "can" or "can't"? I do agree that the iron fist grip on the use of music is the proverbial "wicked witch in the gingerbread house". I have no problem with my video that have copyright music being monetized by the rights owner. They have all the advantages vs the one using their content. I should only get struck if I try to circumvent any legal entitlement they have in order to profit from their work. Featuring their music if free publicity for them, especially if the song in question is an obscure one that is virtually unheard of. What if it suddenly got popular that it hit the music charts and people started wanting to buy it?
As a RUclips newbie, this video has been very informative. If I am finding a funny clip on YT that is already in someone's compilation, can I use segments if I give credit to the person who put the compilation together? Thanks, Ian!
I've thought about using my own music for intros and outros, but as antsy as copyright issues can be for RUclips, it wouldn't matter if I could prove it was mine, I'm terrified it could still trigger a copyright strike. So I've been using the music from RUclips's own library specifically for that purposes. It's not too bad, but I miss the extra little chance for creativity.
Hey Songcrafter! Thanks for watching 👊🏻😊 Well, I totally understand your sensitivity to copyright issues on YT. After all, 3 strikes and your out ... BUT, I think you can trust YT here. If you are publishing your own music, without samples or borrowed elements, you really shouldn’t have a problem. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out @iancorzine on IG Zoe Twitter. 😃

no copyright strike, okay, BUT can i monetize my videos that contain small but changed copyrighted pieces (song, video). and by the way: what about non-free stock photos? can i use them if i modify them? (cutting out parts, changing color, ... etc)
Hi Ian! Loving your videos - thanks for sharing all this info. I have a question though: if I do movie scene reenactments and substitute the other characters’ lines with the original movie clips (but keeping it short and only the necessary bits) would that get a copyright strike? I’m just worried because by the nature of a reenactment it wouldn’t take the copyrighted material out of context, but then again I am building on the original art.
I have just posted 2 more videos that talk about Fair Use and copyrighted work. See if those better help you understand your question. Thanks for watching 👊😁 AND please let me know if you still have questions after watching those videos.
Hi Lila!! Please tell me more about what you are saying. Did someone copy my video?? I'm glad you interested in learning more and are watching several videos. I have several more that will teach you about Fair Use and copyright material if you are interested. Thanks for the heads up. 👊😁
I have a question. Is the audio considered copyright? Like using background music? Or making a music video? Would that be considering fair use? Can that be considered transforming the art? Like adding your own twist? Or as I said, could making a music video be considered transforming it?
have the same question about using music in the background but to me it sounds like u do transform it if u add a lil twist to it but lets wait for the lawyer to answer that :D
That is a good question extremz82. I am honestly not sure if RUclips's content ID will pick that up or not. Most of the time I tell gamers to mute the sound so they do not get a strike, but the radio in your car is different. Give it a try and let me know what happens. 👊😁
@@iancorzine but i have heard of many incidents where many gameplay videos of games like GTA etc get taken down due to the usage of in-game car radio. And some videos don't even if it's used a lot. So, i thought of posting my doubt over here. Thank you very much for your reply
big strike -I made a 22 minute compilation video(which took me a whole seven months to prepare) and used six different full-length songs. In the past, I could use full-length songs and only have monetization taken away, but five of the songs I used in this one are keeping my video blocked. It breaks my heart because I put so much work into it. Could I reach out to the copyright holders and ask for permission, or to let all revenue of my video go to them? Or could I alter the audio in any way?
Oh man, that breaks my heart too!! I know how frustrating it is to put your heart and soul into your creation only to have it rejected. As for the 3 things you suggested: Asking for permission is not a sure thing. A lot of times the copyright holders automatically say "no" and don't even consider what is being asked. You could let all of the revenue go to the holders, but you said your video was blocked so that might not even help. Altering the audio is not going to work, unless you completely change the audio to something that you have permission to use, or if you use only a short bit of the music (10 secs max). I know this is not what you want to hear, but for next time, remember that you can only use material that you have permission to use. That is the only way you can guarantee you won't have heartache when it is rejected. I hope I have helped in some way. Good luck. 😃👊
@@iancorzine Thanks Ian! I actually ended up adding an echo effect to my audio, and reuploading it, and while the songs were all still recognized, my video isn't blocked now and instead just can't be monetized, which I don't mind at all! If it's blocked in the future, I won't mind. I'm just proud for finishing it!
Hey Napert! Thank you so much for watching 👊😃 No, it does not -- it sounds like you got a bogus copyright claim. You should appeal the claim immediately in Creators Studio. I can show if you're unsure where that is.
Thank you, this was education, informative, and even a bit funny at times. I would rescue you from the bottom of the ocean. (Wonder if you'll get that one!)
I'm so sorry but I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I don't think "blue" is the right word. Can you please give me a bit more information? Thank you. 😀
How would RUclips know whether or not I have purchased licenses to use material? i.e. music clips from audionetwork and Adobe stock images? Also having trouble finding copyright free images to illustrate my videos on historical conspiracies and true crime. I'm getting frustrated and confused.
RUclips has a maga computer constantly filtering all RUclips uploads, it will quickly flag any questionable videos and you will be notified that it's been taken down until further notice, you can dispute it and at that time they will give you the option to prove that all material on the video was either produced by you or that you had written permission to use it. I know this because it happened to me for using a small portion of background music I thought was free, but I didn't get a strike, they merely told me that the video would have ads and the owner of the music would get all the money from those ads, so I took it down, made some changes (including taking that music out) and re-uploaded it, problem solved.
@@ricgomez1 I am just setting up my RUclips channel (it's not yet public) and many of my recordings were made with music in the background. The music is the "soundtrack' in a way to the memories I'm sharing about a loved one who passed away. I was told by someone that if I posted my recordings with that musical background, RUclips would identify the copyright song and the owner and simply put ads on and the music owner would get the money from those ads. That sounds similar to what you experienced. I don't mind having ads on my channel if it allows me to keep the background music to the video. Do you know if that means I wouldn't get ANY of the money and it all goes to the music owner? Is there a way to contact YT and get a direct response?
@@cliffvaughsremembered8142 yes, you're right, its exactly what happened to me and no you wouldn't get any money, all the money would go to the owner of the music you used, so you wouldn't ever be able to monetize it which is what you need to do to your videos in order to begin to get paid.
@@cliffvaughsremembered8142 Any ad revenue made will go to the copyright holder since they were allowed to monetize the video. To me, I don't mind because it's a fair trade for using the music. However you may feel differently based on the content in which you are putting the music to.

RUclips is a company not a court. They don't want to get sued. Got it. That is a great way of looking at your content.
JewTube doesn't want to get in trouble, typical...
Yes but passively letting you upload copyrighted content w/o stopping you and saying the owner allows use on the platform but then throws you under the bus if the owner changes their mind and files a take-down request is underhanded. They should still get sued for allowing the content to be uploaded in the first place.
''or worse, you might lose your RUclips channel?''
yes, that is worst than jail...
why is losing your account worst...if you dont even have followers lol madness
i specifically said *channel* not account.
Lol XD
LMFAOOOO
I thought jail was the higher strike.
I got a copyright strike for singing a cover of Israel's National Anthem, a public domain song. This is an abuse of the system.
Bruh 🤦♀️
That’s why because it’s Palestine’s land not isnotreal
SCORPIOM Champfn no the holy land of Jerasulem belongs to Israel and it always has
Because RUclips is controlled by the satan.
really?
I find a really good way to make use of short clips from pop culture/movies is to make your own audio to go over the video clip. If the quote from the clip is what you need, you could read it yourself. Extra transformation like this just makes it easier to prevent corporate bullies from coming at you or algorithms false flagging.
Would it be smart if I used audio from say, Epidemic Sound to go over the clip? Or should I make the audio entirely original
Wow - best video I've seen about copyright on RUclips. Killing the game!
Very cool, Sunny!
Double that.
I’m in total agreement, Sunny! No substitute for clarity!!!
Sunny Lenarduzzi So cool!!
Yes Sunny! You have helped us completely relaunch our channel! Thank you!
The information is extremely professional and useful. It deserves more views than the bunch of other youtubers without any law degree offering advise on copyright issues just for the views!
I never really understood the copyright system, but you explained it really well. This was super helpful, thanks!
I know. Never realized it. I thought we can upload videos for memories sake.
Nobody does. Especially in crazy USA.

The BEST way to avoid copyright strikes is to NOT use someone else's content, unless the uploader demonstrates discussion/debate/education of specific part(s) of the content. Just putting it up, without demonstrating "fair-use" procedure, is nothing more than rebroadcasting. Simply stating that the uploader does not own the copy does not exonerate that uploader, who doesn't adhere to fair-use guidelines. Comments left by viewers also does not exonerate an uploader who doesn't adhere to fair-use guidelines. Just playing the clip, and doing nothing else, violates those terms.
I'm not the fair-use police. But that's the gist of fair-use.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Every other youtuber I found who discussed this topic was vague or unsure but your explanation was thorough and clear. I feel much more confident now on approaching my videos with fair use. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I like this guys, the way he explain.
Thank you Lone Wolf!! I try my best. 👊😀
What is the meaning of out of context that means I change the the title of the video ?
@@iancorzine are these tips the same for posting movies, sir? Please respond
@@iancorzine Hello Ian. And most blessings for all your work. I'd like to make a practical question with an example. ruclips.net/video/VYgTWmbPd30/видео.html When this guy uses videoclips from Goldfinder or reels from the forties and fifties, is making a correct use of these in the video? Or is he risking a strike? Or sharing the monetization of the channel? Yor video was enlightning but I'm having a real hard time understanding this in comment and political channels like this. I know this is an old video but I'd really like to understand this!
Love how you flexed by throwing in long movie clips
Still unsure how he changed it though...
@@TechTips437 he explained the legal aspects of use which is transformative because it wasn’t the same original use
@@TechTips437 I think it was used out of context
Strike: My whole channel is basically making music video of a certain show and this is my 3rd channel
Man, Ian...this is gold. Transforming the copyrighted stuff into your own stuff - never thought about that, man!

Thank you!! 👊😀
@@iancorzine This is the first time a youtuber replied to me.
When I made my first youtube short, I didn't just get a copyright strike, I got my channel taken down and privileges for being able to make future channels taken away. I think the reason why is because I used the audio of a Bo Burnham song at the beginning-- but I both put my own captions on to simulate dialogue the way many creators do on Tik Tok and Instagram shorts, and the very next sentence was commenting on the lyrics- "This song captures a feeling I think a lot of us have..."
Even if I was in violation of fair use, I'm happy to take the video down, but it feels unfair for my whole channel to be banned and for me to be unable to make future RUclips channels.
Right on Ian, be pondering a “fair use” video for many months now. Loved how you touched on transformation, really helpful.
How cool?? You two should do a live stream or regular video collab on some of this information.
Brian G Johnson TV I agree with you on this one.
So many people overlook these details and put their channels at risk.
@@iancorzine oh cool, I will go check this video out now. Thanks for sharing here.
Brian G Johnson TV Yes yes!!! Collab soon!
I love how you’re literally daring these companies to copyright strike you by using their clips an music in your video
Shhhhh!!! I'm hoping they see it as Fair Use and teaching. I literally have my fingers crossed that I do not become their next target. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
Ian Corzine haha hopefully they won’t mess with an attorney. I actually just disputed 3 claims after watching this. Hopefully they see my stuff as transformative. I just don’t see how they get away with claiming a whole 10 minute vid for a 6 second segment of a meme that I made that doesn’t even use the context of the songs. It’s always very transformative though so hopefully they release the claims
Now with "transformation" being a requirement on copyrighted art, what if someone were to take a copyrighted song, slow it down and add some reverb and effects to it? ("Slowed + Reverb" music channels are everywhere on YT now). Would that count as transforming art to make it your own and qualify under fair use?
@5:40 covers it
I had several remixes but they all got claims. At anytime, the rights holder can file a take-down request and your channel get a strike. It's a hit/miss thing and the only way to fight it would be to have a court decide it.
Can I play the melody of songs on my saxophone? I'm not completely sure, but I think that would transform the original art.
I don’t think this works anymore with what RUclips is doing nowadays, not to be mean, but I have seen copyright strikes for things that follow your information and are as short as 3 seconds, but anyway, thanks for doing stuff like this
Hi Liam!! The tips still work, but you have to know what you are doing. Unfortunately Fair Use is not an exact science. There are no hard rules, but I am hoping that my videos help creators better understand how to use the laws correctly. I have several other videos that discuss Fair Use and copyright in more detail AND they are even fun and interactive. 👊😀
I agree that many have received and will continue to receive copyright strikes for things that are obviously well within fair use. As Ian mentioned in the video, that's because these are financial decisions that have nothing to do with the law per se. RUclips management obviously wants to cut their costs in dealing with copyright infringement/fair use claims. It is far more cost effective for RUclips to create an algorithm that weeds out potential problems before they even start, than to have to pay skilled staff to investigate claims.
Ian Corzine
THANK YOU for this video, it is extremely useful. Thank you for sharing this powerful information.
You are most welcome!! The concept of Fair Use and copyright are tricky topics. If you are interested in learning more, I have done several more recent videos that teach about these ideas. These videos are fun and interactive so you might be interested. Thanks for watching AND please let me know if you ever have any questions. 👊😁
@@iancorzine
Cool! I have found myself binge watching your videos, over the last 7 days or so, lol - Really trying to educate myself, and soak up this important information... I do have one question, a really good friend of mine, called me a few hours ago, and said that when he woke up this morning to log into his account, that RUclips said that it was terminated! He's EXTREMELY puzzled, and confused as to why this happened, as he is someone that STRICTLY follows (the rules of society, as well as) RUclips rules and guidelines. He said that he sent them an immediate message to appeal it, and explain his case, and explain to them the last thing he did on RUclips, before going to bed. And I told him, that I would look through RUclips to see if I could find anything that could help him out. Is there any advise that I can give him? (Oh, and side note, when I asked him if he had ever received any strikes by RUclips, and he said he's never received any).
I believe copyrights laws should be modified due to the ever so increasing technology. A lot of laws needs to be modify in this tech era.
Hi Esmeralda!! How do you think the laws should be changed? To make it easier to use other's material, or to make it harder? And, what if someone uses your material without your permission and benefits monetarily from it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching. 👊😀
Ian Corzine definitely make it easier for user to use the material. However, I’m not a creator so I may have a basis viewpoint on this subject. I just don’t like extreme restrictions.
@@iancorzine zz😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Rick Beato has raised this very issue and has even successfully fought against his content being blocked. The copyright holders get free publicity and they can even monetize the content they hold the rights to. Everything works in their favor. Music should not be guarded by the proverbial "wicked witch". It should be allowed to be interpreted and transformed and those variants be shared with others AS LONG as the one doing it is not trying to profit from it or is trying to damage the reputation of the music artist.
So real. Like just because someone made an animatic if Shape Of You or whatever doesn’t mean that person is trying to steal the song 🤦🏻♀️
I had a music video of mine taken down once by YT for copyright but I was able to prove that my music video had predated the claimant's published music by a couple of years and was made using the same music creation program. So it was possible that we had both independently come up with pieces that sounded similar in places. The main difference was I just posted mine to YT as an unknown indie artist while the other person's piece was released by a music publishing label. However, YT did reinstate my video.
Judge: I sentence you too Life in prison!

Hi LordThanos!! Thanks for watching. 👊😁 I get asked this question a lot and it's not an easy question to answer.

Okay so you just need to comment and show your face while playing the video. Okay.
So I make reaction vids, and have a cam and mic, I’m OK?
Yeah because they think that you're just uploading a clip for others to watch, so to avoid this you can move the screen you're watching the clip on so you can see a bit of a background (shrink the screen basically) 😁

Its so hard not to get discouraged but we all have to keep hustling! Small RUclipsrs Stand up!!"
I totally agree Nelly. But once you understand the concept of Fair Use and copyright then it gets easier. I have done a lot more videos that will teach you about these topics. Some of the videos are fun and interactive and you will be surprised how much you are learning. Search them out and then let me know if you have any questions. Good luck with your channel. 👊😁☘
@@iancorzine In my opinion, fair use should only entitle one to use the copyrighted material but not profit from it. I had remixes and/or mashups of copyrighted music and got claims. In some cases where the video got blocked, I appealed the blocking claiming fair use and they would get removed but the claims _should_ remain and the rights owner still be entitled to make money. That is a fair trade for using their music but featuring my own spin on it. I see their music as being the focus of the video. Now if I was in a mall recording something, such as the fountain, a glass elevator or a display but a song was playing in the background, I don't see the music being the focus of the video and perhaps it should be allowed to be monetized where at least the owner still getting a small percentage but the music is not what is being focused and nobody is going to want to pirate it since it's not as distinguishable. Either way, I wouldn't dispute a claim over it.
How is losing your RUclips channel WORSE than going to jail ??? lol
I can't believe this is such a common question!! 😀 A lot of creators have put all their time and talent into their channel and really take pride in what they have achieved. They would be devastated if RUclips terminated their channel. The reality is that i have heard from so many creators who feel exactly like that.

Hi there MonkeySquad!! 🙈🙉🙊🐵 Thanks or watching! RUclips has a content ID program that will automatically pick up on the music (whether it is in a mashup or not) and will flag it as copyrighted music. RUclips is really cracking down right now on anything that is copyrighted so they will not get sued. Be very careful with your 2 strikes; if you get 3 strikes your channel will be taken down. The strikes will disappear after about 90 days, so try not to post anything that you are unsure about. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. 👊😁

@@iancorzine i already used the entire video but i transform it and i didn't get any strike. But the audio is not sure but since the Claimant didn't use audio maybe it means its good.
Strike. I made a video demonstrating a mixing technique, where the sample I used came with the popular DAW Pro Tools as a sound pack. Someone in Uganda used the same guitar sample as the basis of their terrible song. CD Baby flagged my video as being in breach because I supposedly used a portion of a copyrighted work, when in fact we had both used the same sample. In my case, the sample was used in an educational setting to teach a technique, but this did not seem to matter to RUclips. I couldn't monetize the video and so decided to undertake the painstaking work of recording a different guitar part that lined up with the original video clips. I've HATED CD Baby ever since!
omg, that sounds really wrong! ughh 😟
V important information for youtube and all other users. Thank you for sharing.
Strike: We wrote a song with another person and we played that song on our channel and the other writer put a strike on us. We don't understand? The song has never been officially release not sure if that has anything to do with it. There is more, this other channel has video of us!
This my friend sounds like a bigger issue than copyrighted material. You may want to seek out an attorney in your area that can help. It sounds like your "partner" is claiming the song as their own, and you may need to put an end to that a.s.a.p.
I tried to upload my music video through Ditto and it wasnt even allowed to go up on VEVO because the person who made my music video used clips from the 1951 Alice In Wonderland.
The Free to Use Act, didn't say anything about having to change the content. It says you have the right to use copyrighted content as long as its for educational, entertainment or general information purposes, and as long as you are not making money off of the copyrighted material. Now seeing as they are protecting themselves from lawsuits by violating citizens rights, by hiding behind a corporate policy, which has no law behind it. And presuming guilt over innocence, which is a constitutional violation, they are assuming their liability is protected. But as it is the private company asking for the strike, it is up on them to prove the violation of policy, not the other way around. The police can claim/charge me with a crime but the burden of proof is their burden. And corporate policy does not trump Constitutional Law/Bill of Rights.
I see no reason why a content creator, can use any copyrighted material for entertainment/educational purposes as long as the creator does not make money off the video. Which is what the Free to use Act states.
If Google/RUclips want to avoid legal action they should weight the bigger liabilities, corporations and copyright laws, or citizens and both Constitutional laws and Bill of Rights violations, plus if it's a continuous unsupported violation, then there is a liability for defamation of character, another law. So 3 legal issues versus 1 maybe a violation. These companies who are abusing RUclips's policies, are going to get Google into legal trouble. So they need to pick the side of less resistance. Because, yes RUclips does not charge to put videos up on their sight, but without the content creators videos there would be no use for the RUclips website.
Hey James! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate the time it took you to write it. Well, I see where you’re coming from and I agree that abuse is rampant. 👊🏻😊
_I see no reason why a content creator, can use any copyrighted material for entertainment/educational purposes as long as the creator does not make money off the video._ Did you mean "can" or "can't"? I do agree that the iron fist grip on the use of music is the proverbial "wicked witch in the gingerbread house". I have no problem with my video that have copyright music being monetized by the rights owner. They have all the advantages vs the one using their content. I should only get struck if I try to circumvent any legal entitlement they have in order to profit from their work. Featuring their music if free publicity for them, especially if the song in question is an obscure one that is virtually unheard of. What if it suddenly got popular that it hit the music charts and people started wanting to buy it?
Can you get a copyright claim or strike on a thumbnail with logos or game covers that you find in google images...does that count as fair use
As a RUclips newbie, this video has been very informative. If I am finding a funny clip on YT that is already in someone's compilation, can I use segments if I give credit to the person who put the compilation together? Thanks, Ian!
To use a segment of someone else's video already on YT, contact them and ask, rather than just use and hope.
I've thought about using my own music for intros and outros, but as antsy as copyright issues can be for RUclips, it wouldn't matter if I could prove it was mine, I'm terrified it could still trigger a copyright strike. So I've been using the music from RUclips's own library specifically for that purposes. It's not too bad, but I miss the extra little chance for creativity.
Hey Songcrafter! Thanks for watching 👊🏻😊 Well, I totally understand your sensitivity to copyright issues on YT. After all, 3 strikes and your out ... BUT, I think you can trust YT here. If you are publishing your own music, without samples or borrowed elements, you really shouldn’t have a problem. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out @iancorzine on IG Zoe Twitter. 😃
Finally, someone with expertise in this subject explains it very well.. Thank you so much, Ian!
What about monetization? Can I monetize my videos if I use movies clip within fair use?

no copyright strike, okay, BUT can i monetize my videos that contain small but changed copyrighted pieces (song, video).
and by the way: what about non-free stock photos? can i use them if i modify them? (cutting out parts, changing color, ... etc)
Hi Ian! Loving your videos - thanks for sharing all this info. I have a question though: if I do movie scene reenactments and substitute the other characters’ lines with the original movie clips (but keeping it short and only the necessary bits) would that get a copyright strike? I’m just worried because by the nature of a reenactment it wouldn’t take the copyrighted material out of context, but then again I am building on the original art.
Hye.. Can you explain about comment and respont to copyrighted work?
I have just posted 2 more videos that talk about Fair Use and copyrighted work. See if those better help you understand your question. Thanks for watching 👊😁 AND please let me know if you still have questions after watching those videos.
This is easily my favorite video on Fair Use on RUclips. Thank you very much. Love how you explain it in layman terms.
Someone copied this exact video or vice versa. This woman has this exact video out it’s crazy
Hi Lila!! Please tell me more about what you are saying. Did someone copy my video?? I'm glad you interested in learning more and are watching several videos. I have several more that will teach you about Fair Use and copyright material if you are interested. Thanks for the heads up. 👊😁
I have a question.
Is the audio considered copyright?
Like using background music?
Or making a music video?
Would that be considering fair use?
Can that be considered transforming the art? Like adding your own twist? Or as I said, could making a music video be considered transforming it?
have the same question about using music in the background but to me it sounds like u do transform it if u add a lil twist to it but lets wait for the lawyer to answer that :D
Roasted Rice yeah
if it says no copyright is that means you can use that content or no ?
World wide yeah, I think
can anyone answer me,why do i get copyright for using a remix instead of the original one?? is the remix also copyright or what
How will I use in-game car radio in my gameplay videos?
That is a good question extremz82. I am honestly not sure if RUclips's content ID will pick that up or not. Most of the time I tell gamers to mute the sound so they do not get a strike, but the radio in your car is different. Give it a try and let me know what happens. 👊😁
@@iancorzine but i have heard of many incidents where many gameplay videos of games like GTA etc get taken down due to the usage of in-game car radio. And some videos don't even if it's used a lot.
So, i thought of posting my doubt over here.
Thank you very much for your reply
What about just using music audio in your video from an iTunes download?
big strike
-I made a 22 minute compilation video(which took me a whole seven months to prepare) and used six different full-length songs. In the past, I could use full-length songs and only have monetization taken away, but five of the songs I used in this one are keeping my video blocked.
It breaks my heart because I put so much work into it. Could I reach out to the copyright holders and ask for permission, or to let all revenue of my video go to them? Or could I alter the audio in any way?
Oh man, that breaks my heart too!! I know how frustrating it is to put your heart and soul into your creation only to have it rejected. As for the 3 things you suggested: Asking for permission is not a sure thing. A lot of times the copyright holders automatically say "no" and don't even consider what is being asked. You could let all of the revenue go to the holders, but you said your video was blocked so that might not even help. Altering the audio is not going to work, unless you completely change the audio to something that you have permission to use, or if you use only a short bit of the music (10 secs max). I know this is not what you want to hear, but for next time, remember that you can only use material that you have permission to use. That is the only way you can guarantee you won't have heartache when it is rejected. I hope I have helped in some way. Good luck. 😃👊
@@iancorzine Thanks Ian! I actually ended up adding an echo effect to my audio, and reuploading it, and while the songs were all still recognized, my video isn't blocked now and instead just can't be monetized, which I don't mind at all! If it's blocked in the future, I won't mind. I'm just proud for finishing it!
Does the video still apply if some random company I've never heard of claimed my voice?
Hey Napert! Thank you so much for watching 👊😃 No, it does not -- it sounds like you got a bogus copyright claim. You should appeal the claim immediately in Creators Studio. I can show if you're unsure where that is.
@@iancorzine not me lol ruclips.net/video/w4WC9CbFEy8/видео.html
Thank you, this was education, informative, and even a bit funny at times. I would rescue you from the bottom of the ocean. (Wonder if you'll get that one!)
👊😀
Nice, very informative and very detailed video about copyrights content. I liked it
I put my face on Bruce Lee’s body and changed the color I forgot where I tried to upload it but I remember they said I was in violation.
Hmmm.....that sounds interesting!! How did they know it was not your body?? Was there identifying marks on the video that would say it was Bruce Lee?
Are you allowed to use instrumental music without getting copyrighted
Only if you have permission to use it. 😁
I don’t understand, I see big channels have that blue but where they have been licensed to use songs how can I get that!!
I'm so sorry but I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I don't think "blue" is the right word. Can you please give me a bit more information? Thank you. 😀
Ian Corzine yes sorry where you obtain the rights in the description that are blue in colour
@@willderby2262 wtf r u talking about
I won't be able to get a checklist by the link mentioned in the description
It shows "Cannot accept new subscription" , can you please help me on this
How would RUclips know whether or not I have purchased licenses to use material? i.e. music clips from audionetwork and Adobe stock images? Also having trouble finding copyright free images to illustrate my videos on historical conspiracies and true crime. I'm getting frustrated and confused.
RUclips has a maga computer constantly filtering all RUclips uploads, it will quickly flag any questionable videos and you will be notified that it's been taken down until further notice, you can dispute it and at that time they will give you the option to prove that all material on the video was either produced by you or that you had written permission to use it. I know this because it happened to me for using a small portion of background music I thought was free, but I didn't get a strike, they merely told me that the video would have ads and the owner of the music would get all the money from those ads, so I took it down, made some changes (including taking that music out) and re-uploaded it, problem solved.
@@ricgomez1 I am just setting up my RUclips channel (it's not yet public) and many of my recordings were made with music in the background. The music is the "soundtrack' in a way to the memories I'm sharing about a loved one who passed away. I was told by someone that if I posted my recordings with that musical background, RUclips would identify the copyright song and the owner and simply put ads on and the music owner would get the money from those ads. That sounds similar to what you experienced. I don't mind having ads on my channel if it allows me to keep the background music to the video. Do you know if that means I wouldn't get ANY of the money and it all goes to the music owner? Is there a way to contact YT and get a direct response?
Most copyright strikes are initiated by the rightsholders. RUclips doesn't just randomly do this unless they're being forced to.
@@cliffvaughsremembered8142 yes, you're right, its exactly what happened to me and no you wouldn't get any money, all the money would go to the owner of the music you used, so you wouldn't ever be able to monetize it which is what you need to do to your videos in order to begin to get paid.
@@cliffvaughsremembered8142 Any ad revenue made will go to the copyright holder since they were allowed to monetize the video. To me, I don't mind because it's a fair trade for using the music. However you may feel differently based on the content in which you are putting the music to.
