Great video but number #4 is bit more nuanced than that. I have covered songs with a much slower tempo than the original, not in the same key and even changing the melody here and there, but still got a copyright claim on them. Even some of them got a “manual claim”, meaning the claim was made by the original artist or label, not through contentID. It's also a lottery. I have covered songs from barely known indie artists (their original music video has no more than 3,000 views) and got a copyright claim while the video was not even finished uploading, and I have covered moderately popular songs (like 15 millions views on the original artist's music video) and still haven't had copyright claims on them. One of my old cover songs got a copyright claim 6 YEARS after being uploaded on RUclips... I’m also still confused about why labels do claim all the revenues on a RUclips cover when the original artist actually only owns the Composition but NOT the Master Recording (the performer/producer owns the Master Recording). Ad revenues should be split 50/50. The only way to get away with that is to get a synchronization license but usually hard to get, and expensive as you mentioned it. Ahhhh, greedy record companies…
This tip was super helpful, because I didn't know there was any ramifications for doing cover songs on RUclips.. I didn't even know a cover song policy section even existed. Heather is rocking some pretty awesome shades. Oh my gosh.. I absolutely love the beautiful plam trees 🌳 in the background and that gorgeous beach. I totally wanna be in southern California right now 💕
Heather Rocks!! I didn't know about the music policy section. I LOVE singing song covers, but I don't do it on RUclips... Who knows, maybe one day I'll give it a try! LOL. Cheers!
3:29 "I'm not gonna do that" 😂 Heather 🤘!!! ♥️ and Ian also rocks of course!!! Your energy guys kind of make me take all this legal things more softly 🤲 I appreciate it so much ;D
Ian Corzine thanks for this! So helpful! I do have a quick question- what if you have permission to use someone else’s cover? If I source it is that legal? Really appreciate all you do! Got hooked on your channel while following COPPA 💕❤️
@@MadeOfConfusion get sued for what? do the courts have time for this trivia? Be a good person, be a force for change, respect and promote your favorite artists and buy their music. Then sing a song and record it on RUclips. don't overthink it. you are wasting your time. Lawyers are feeding off of opportunities to get paid, that doesn't necessarily promote the artist. you are not stealing something from the artist to get paid. that's the difference.
Accoustic it - take a pop song and do an accoustic. Rap Sing - Find a rap song and sing it Gender Swap - XXs take an Xys song and sing it and vice versa Genre Swap - Take a pop song and turn it into a country song.

Hey Ian, I got a question. I hope you read this one: "Can I use an instrumental of a specific song to make a cover out of it? For example, Eminem's slim Shady, then I'll just use instrumental, but I'll sing the song with his lyrics. Is that okay?
Man that’s a good question I’m trying to figure that out as well I want to use that exact instrumental to a song by completely change the lyrics. I will attribute the song to the person and I’m sure you will with your slim shady song but I don’t know if I have to change the instrument or somehow because I have no way of doing that and don’t know how. I’m sure this is your problem as well let me know what you figure out
Yes you can , I’ll my covers are using the original beat ,just know that the artist the song belongs to will run ads on your video and you will not get paid.
Look people, covering a song is not complicated. Firstly go to the Performance Rights Organisation in your territory and get the mechanical licence. APRA/AMCOS looks after Australia and PRS/MCPS in the UK. Google it and you’ll find them. Mechanical rights costs around $100 or thereabouts for 1000 copies or a certain amount of streams. They also have information for RUclips and others. You can also go direct to the publisher for the sync licence and they also will have a simplified process because they do not want millions of RUclipsrs calling them every day for licences. The amount will be similar to the mechanical rate and if you’re only doing a RUclips cover they will have a specific rate for that. Basically ask and you’ll get the licence. You will pay a small fee for it but you can offset that with the revenue you’ll get from RUclips and sell your cover on your site. All the best.
Hey Kimberly! Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for watching 👊😃 Great, and if you ever have any questions that come up, don't hesitate to hit me up @iancorzine on IG or Twitter. I want to help CREATORS like you!
Apparently, this feature will be deactivated once the migration to RUclips Studio is completed :( so I guess this info won't be valid really soon. It would ve great if it continued like that though
Hello! I just have one question, what if I want to make a cover of a song that is covered by a lot of people but on the music policies it says this song is not available for use? Would I still be able to get away with it if I transform the song into my own version or is it not recommended at all? Thank you! Love your videos ((:
Heather Rocks! Big thanks for these points especially with #2. I was starting to wonder thoroughly when I was asked for a sheet music in one of the songs I covered (Which I only played by ear). And I was thinking if I'm stepping too far even with all the 'transformation' done.
You are so welcome!! I have several other videos that talk more about using songs on your channel. You may want to check them out. Thanks for watching. 👊😀
Thank you so much!! It is my goal to provide knowledge for social media creators so they can be successful. I hope I am doing that. Please reach out to me if you ever have a legal question about your channel. Thanks for watching!! 👊😀
I've just uploaded a cover and done all the instruments myself, but I've pretty much matched the tempo exactly and even the guitar sound, so from what you said in the video, would that be the reason why I'm only getting shared revenue? as it's too much like the original? I've even disputed it but they refused :/
Hey DC! Thanks for watching 👊😃 Yes. Just because YT allows you to make covers of the songs in the Music Policies section does not mean that the original artist cannot claim the revenue. That is the yin-yang of covers -- you get more views BUT you may lose the ad sense.
Hey man. Thank you very much for watching! Yeah, you have a good point.A lot of the the music on the music policy section is really old.I think it's a function of RUclipsDoing its best to negotiate with the music studiosToo loud music to play.I mean RUclips definitely has an interest in having the most current songs on the platform. Those songs will draw More watch time.So, in my opinion, we can blame it on the Studios.
@@iancorzine again you are wrong, the customers are in control of youtube. And that is because the customers can cover and promote the very content they are interested in. hmm what to do with that eh RUclips?
No, no, no, no!!! Mere attribution is not enough. You must have permission to use whatever material that is not your own. Otherwise you will either get a copyright claim OR a strike. It doesn't matter if you want to make money off of it or not. You must always have permission, or bad things will happen. 😬
Based on what I gather from the video, if RUclips content ID doesn’t recognize your cover, you are good to go. And according to the video you could even monetize that cover video.
@@iancorzine okay, so how do I get permission? And how much does it cost? Is it yet another bullshit system where I have to pay thousands of dollars out of my pocket for a song I want to cover and have the privilege to upload to my channel where it generates about 50 views in 3 years? How convenient! So fucking happy I've reduced my musical activity from full time working musician to a hobby in 2020 because, in this business, there is no "middle class": you either make nothing or you make millions. Anything in between doesn't exist. In fact, with these bullshit setups, I discourage anyone from even chose music as a hobby. Heaven forbid the kid might upload a cover of a chorus to the internet, maybe the family will have the privilege to pay millions for the occasion in fines! lol Fuck that.
Derek Demuth But don't forget that, according to what they said in the video, the song you want to cover has to be transformed in some way (lyrics, instrumentation...). Otherwise, the content ID will be able to recognize it.
It all comes back to whether you have permission to use the "sheet music" publicly. You may have purchased the sheet music for personal use, but once you share it to the public (on social media) then the copyright police take notice. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
Ian Corzine I’m making reference to putting together my own sheet music for a song. Basically, listening to the song and then writing the sheet music from there.
thank you guys for giving us a tip., well I have one question aside from that., now if we're gonna using the Leonilli Richie backing track and play a guitar solo is it okay?? thank you in advance guys..
You must have permission otherwise you will get a copyright claim or worse -- a strike. You cannot have any music playing on your video that you do not have permission to use. You may want to watch some of my other videos so fully understand this. Thanks for watching. 👊😀
Hi Ian, I have a serious question but 1st I'd like to thank you for sharing these videos. They're super informative! Okay, so I currently provide digital marketing services for a Dj/Music Remixer that has only been using Soundcloud to share his work. In simple terms, he is fearful of uploading his mixes/remixes to RUclips, Facebook, and Instagram due to these platforms being super strict on the issue of copyright infringement. We get why they're like that, and we want to abide by these policies WHILE BEING ABLE TO USE THE MUSIC/CONTENT. So here's what we need to know: 1) HOW can he PURCHASE/access the necessary LICENSES to MUSIC/CONTENT for REUSE/MODIFICATION within his mixes? 2) If we somehow obtain these licenses, how can we use them outside of mixes/remixes? & 3) If it is that licenses to music/content are not readily sold to DJs and other producers of derivative content, how would you go about uploading mixes/remixes without facing strikes from these platforms -- RUclips, Facebook, & Instagram? Feel free to respond here, or email me at ChevannesComm[@]gmail[.]com PS: I think this would also make a great topic for your next youtube video.
Hey Romario! Thanks for watching 👊😀 Well, one way to get music licenses to copyrighted music for a reasonable price is Song Freedom -- I made a video about it here: ruclips.net/video/5s-x-pnI0bc/видео.html SongFreedom generally allows you to use their licenses for any non-commercial purpose. If you cannot find the license you need, then you really need to TRANSFORM the music (i.e., change instrumentation through use of stems, change lyrics, comment directly on music, make substantial changes to the music itself) In short, you need to make the music your own. I always think of 3LAU's "All Night Long" He converted to LMFAO and Ellie Goulding's songs into his own songs -- that is ART. Check it out -- do this and you will not get copyright strikes.
@@iancorzine haha "make it your own", even though you just wanted to make a cover tune. hahaha. how much bull shit can the human race endure, i often wonder.
I invite every lawyer out there hiding under rocks to notify me when I "fail" to help another artist to succeed by pouring my heart into covering (advertising) their song. bring it on. I'll see you in court.
Unfortunately it is more about copyright laws. ☹ Covers definitely advertise for songs, but using material that you do not have permission to use is the bigger issue. I know it's sad, but it's the law. Go ahead....say it!! 👊😀
... So if I create an instrumental cover (piano) for example “ Faded by Alan Walker”, so it won’t be pick up by the Content ID system? So therefore any ad revenue from that cover song will belong to me??
Hey B Sun! Thanks for watching 👊😃 It is very possible that Contend I.D. will pick up today, tomorrow, or three years from now -- it is always scanning. But if it does not, then yes, you would continue to get ad revenue, unless an original artist makes a copyright claim -- you may lose your money rights then BUT sometimes, they never do because they like your version. 🙂
No, you do not need a license, buy you should have the artist give you written permission that you can show to everyone that it is legit. You still may run into some hackers who say the material is there's, but with the permission, you should be able to prevail. Good luck and please let me know if you have any other questions. 👊😀
Interesting. I dont care though because I won’t monetize covers. It’s only to bring in subs. Once I’m over 1k, I’ll switch up my game to monetize from my own content
I have gotten strikes for doing covers and i did not monetize and at that time it was not even possible to monetize in my country. So what is with that? I am doing a totaly new channel now cause on the old one i have strikes but on this one I do not want to have problems cause maybe in the future I would monetize. So if I write under the description the authors of the songs is that anough or should I do more? I am confused. English is not my first language.
@@iancorzine how synthesia software "piano tutorials" with millions of views work? They can not get permission from entire world composers but they fully make whatewer they want , new songs every day. How they do this? Same like with the full movies, some users are able to upload full movies without problems, and i am sure they do not have permission of thousends of movies or music producers

We get why they're like that, and we want to abide by these policies WHILE BEING ABLE TO USE THE MUSIC/CONTENT.

1) HOW can he PURCHASE/access the necessary LICENSES to MUSIC/CONTENT for REUSE/MODIFICATION within his mixes?
2) If we somehow obtain these licenses, how can we use them outside of mixes/remixes?

3) If it is that licenses to music/content are not readily sold to DJs and other producers of derivative content, how would you go about uploading mixes/remixes without facing strikes from these platforms -- RUclips, Facebook, & Instagram?

PS: I think this would also make a great topic for your next youtube video.
Hey Romario! Thanks for watching 👊😀 Well, one way to get music licenses to copyrighted music for a reasonable price is Song Freedom -- I made a video about it here: ruclips.net/video/5s-x-pnI0bc/видео.html SongFreedom generally allows you to use their licenses for any non-commercial purpose. If you cannot find the license you need, then you really need to TRANSFORM the music (i.e., change instrumentation through use of stems, change lyrics, comment directly on music, make substantial changes to the music itself) In short, you need to make the music your own. I always think of 3LAU's "All Night Long" He converted to LMFAO and Ellie Goulding's songs into his own songs -- that is ART. Check it out -- do this and you will not get copyright strikes.
@@iancorzine haha "make it your own", even though you just wanted to make a cover tune. hahaha. how much bull shit can the human race endure, i often wonder.
@@iancorzine getting money on youtube from ads is not commercial use?
Heather Rocks!!! also im taking notes Thank you for making this
I invite every lawyer out there hiding under rocks to notify me when I "fail" to help another artist to succeed by pouring my heart into covering (advertising) their song. bring it on. I'll see you in court.
Unfortunately it is more about copyright laws. ☹ Covers definitely advertise for songs, but using material that you do not have permission to use is the bigger issue. I know it's sad, but it's the law. Go ahead....say it!! 👊😀
@@iancorzine laws evolve just like the music industry. penalizing consumers doesn't work.
I like this video and I think you are fun and interactive! Thanks for making this video it was super helpful!
Heather rocks!💚 am i right on spelling? Hahahahaha
Filipina youtuber here...
Hey Camille! Thanks so much for watching 👊😀 Yeah, you got the spelling correct! Are you a musician? Post any covers to RUclips?
Ahm not really i used only audio for background music on my transitions
You may want to check out this video to avoid any copyright issues in the future. bit.ly/2TmY8oX Good luck!! ☘
Heather Rocks ! Awesome Video Ian!
Ha ! I don't have one but I did sing a Spanish tune once on a cruise -yikes.. one to many :-)

... So if I create an instrumental cover (piano) for example “ Faded by Alan Walker”, so it won’t be pick up by the Content ID system? So therefore any ad revenue from that cover song will belong to me??
Hey B Sun! Thanks for watching 👊😃 It is very possible that Contend I.D. will pick up today, tomorrow, or three years from now -- it is always scanning. But if it does not, then yes, you would continue to get ad revenue, unless an original artist makes a copyright claim -- you may lose your money rights then BUT sometimes, they never do because they like your version. 🙂
What if i know the artist n asked the permission in social media maybe n he approved it, do i still need to get a license?
No, you do not need a license, buy you should have the artist give you written permission that you can show to everyone that it is legit. You still may run into some hackers who say the material is there's, but with the permission, you should be able to prevail. Good luck and please let me know if you have any other questions. 👊😀
Heather rockssss!!! Thank you so much I really need this😊❤️
Because that wasn’t recognizable as music?
😂😂
Lmao
Heather Rocks. Ok Ian does too. You guys had way too much fun making this video and it was full of great info. Rock on and thanks. BOSSES❤️
wow YOU GUYS ROCK - QUESTION Can I PLAY youtube karaoke at a bar and sing the songs - what are the Do's and DON'Ts
You can always sing karaoke at a bar, but you cannot post it to RUclips!! RUclips will pick up the song and give you a strike for it. 😲👊
@@iancorzine then every subscriber should post a karaoke cover to RUclips "simultaneously" and put RUclips out of business. that would be my response.
Heather YOU ROCK!!!!!
Heart ❤️
Thank you. 😀
Interesting. I dont care though because I won’t monetize covers. It’s only to bring in subs. Once I’m over 1k, I’ll switch up my game to monetize from my own content
😁
I have gotten strikes for doing covers and i did not monetize and at that time it was not even possible to monetize in my country. So what is with that? I am doing a totaly new channel now cause on the old one i have strikes but on this one I do not want to have problems cause maybe in the future I would monetize. So if I write under the description the authors of the songs is that anough or should I do more? I am confused. English is not my first language.
Heather rocks👍
She most definitely does rock!! Thanks for watching. 👊😀
So can i play any song in youtube on piano without permission and still not get in trouble If i dont have ads?
Hey Niilo! Thanks for watching 👊😃 No, you should stick with what RUclips allows in the "Music Policies" section of the website.
@@iancorzine how synthesia software "piano tutorials" with millions of views work? They can not get permission from entire world composers but they fully make whatewer they want , new songs every day. How they do this?
Same like with the full movies, some users are able to upload full movies without problems, and i am sure they do not have permission of thousends of movies or music producers
Cool one 👍 let's grow together!
👊😀
Thanks for the info. Heather you rock!
Any updates since article 13?
Hi Heidi (& Baby)!! 👏🏻😁 Here is the video I made in response to Article 13 passing last week: ruclips.net/video/-N89yuDsWXo/видео.html. Let me know if you have any questions after watching it.
@@iancorzine thank you! I guess I'm still a little confused about cover songs specifically, I live in America if that makes a difference.
My parents wont let me have a youtube channel until I am older...but when I do eventually start a channel...I'll be ready! Thank u!

😁👊
im just starting a youtube channel doing bass covers and lessons, what
if i bought the karaoke version and downloaded it without the bass line
and used this, would that bypass the copywright laws???

I think youre both incredibly adorable and your responses to rude people make it even better. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
Heather you really rock!
You rock Heather! ❤
