Youtube Copyright issues?

[Jamesy]

A simple fix found by some clever little bugger:

It takes TIME for your audio to come back. Please stop sending me PMs asking why it isn't there, I even show in the video how it is NOT instant.

Also, I very rarely check the comments for this video anymore, as they come too fast. If you send me a PM, there's a pretty good chance I will answer. if I DO NOT ANSWER, it means your question is answered in the video or video description.

Sorry if your videos are getting blocked because of Video copyright claims, I don't think there's anything you can do about it. This only helps if the problem is your AUDIO (music specifically) on your videos.

For whatever reason, theres no HD. Camtasia studio = fail. If for whatever reason you can't follow what's going on, feel free to download the tutorial. http://files.filefront.com/CopyrightT...

This video is for anyone who's having copyright issues on their youtube videos due to music or audio copyrights. This video will NOT help you if a video clip itself within your video is causing the copyright issue.

If you upload videos with music or other audio, I'm sure you've been hit by a copyright claim, right? Well, pay attention to the video to learn how to get your video's audio back.

This is the step-by-step process to get your audio back:

1) Go to "My Videos".
2) Select "Resolve Copyright" on the video you are having copyright issues with. OR, go to the video itself and choose "resolve copyright" from there.
3) Scroll down and pick the option "I want to learn more about this dispute process".
4) Scroll down and pick the option "Take me to the dispute form".
5) Pick option #2 and PASTE the following statement into the text bar next to it;

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."

6) Fill out the rest of the info on the page. Use your REAL name where it asks for it. Choose "Continue" when all information has been filled out.
7) Scroll down on the next page and select "Submit dispute".

Within 2-3 minutes your video's audio should be back!

Occasionally this will not work. Like I said in the video, this copyright covers 99% of copyrighted entertainment (From what I found out at least). Also, this will ONLY apply if you are not making any profit off your videos. If you intend to become a youtube partner, I would not suggest doing this.

Any questions? Anything to add? Send me a youtube PM.

Make sure to rate and favorite this video, and tell people about it. This NEEDS to get out there, before some of the best montages and gameplays are taken down by copyrights without their owners knowing how to fix the audio.

I originally was going to post this a week or two ago, but I wanted to be absolutely sure on what I was doing.

It doesn't make what they are doing right or not stupid, but it will hopefully save your best uploaded videos etc.

quite clever lol. Surely you could save it by editing it and dubbing some music that they give you over it?

[Jamesy]

But why do that? People would pick music they like and feels suits their video for a reason.

Audioswap if you want, but for creative videos it's a slap to the face.

i know but if the dispute doesnt work and you want to save all the views/favourites etc then you could do it that way. it would be a kick in the face though. hopefully more companies will realise that people ask for the sound track and will probably d/l it legally or advertise an itunes link

But the dispute works...

on 99% of cases

My video got taken down because of copyright, it doesn't work if it used any other audio because a good percentage of the video is in sync with the song, plus it was made for educational and non-profit purposes, the fact WMG don't make it easy for you to obtain permission is their fault really.
