Youtube’s copyright rules are getting more intense, and youtube is really enforcing these
rules to the point that some youtubers are staying away from using any copyrighted material
whatsoever.
But there are some youtubers that are getting around the new copyright rules by incorporating
a new technique into their videos.
Welcome back to inform overload, the news channel for people who find CNN boring.
My name is charlotte, hit that subscribe and follow the IO team on instagram.
If you’re familiar with tik tok, formerly musically, you’d know that a hefty chunk
of the videos that are uploaded to the app include copyrighted material.
I mean tik tok is basically a lip sync app, where people mouth the words of popular songs
in different scenarios.
Reacting to tik tok videos became a huge thing on youtube, because there’s just so much
content available.
there are plenty of compilation videos on youtube, as well as youtubers who upload their
tik toks to the platform.
Tik tok is an app with a massive sound bank.
Anyone who’s on tik tok can access this sound bank, which also makes the copyright
situation a bit difficult.
For example, the really popular song used for tik toks, Mia Khalifa diss track, went
viral on the app and was featured hundreds of thousands if not millions of times, but
not with permission from the original artist.
The issue with copyright comes in to play if youtubers want to use a tik tok video in
their content, and that tik tok video has sound that’s subject to a copyright claim.
When you upload a video to youtube, the algorithm scans the video automatically and if any copyrighted
material is detected, the video loses monetization.
If the initial AI doesn’t find the copyrighted material, the copyright holder, if they come
across your video, can claim the money made on your video, even if the video only features
a few seconds of material.
Youtube has new copyright rules, and anyone who doesn’t abide by them risks their video
losing monetization and fines.
So many YouTubers are avoiding using any material that includes copyrighted material.
Well, you could do that…or…you could do this.
there are some youtubers that are finding a way around the new copyright rules.
Kurtis Conner and Danny Gonzales have started incorporating in-tune acapella.
So they are subbing out the copyrighted material with acapella lyrics and beatboxed melody.
The results are pretty hilarious to be honest, and super creative.
The audio of the tik toks are essentially replaced with a bad cover song.
There’s a reason why youtubers can get away with this.
As pitchfork explained, fair use dictates that creators have the right to public performance
(the composition of the song, which is typically owned by the songwriter or their publisher,
and also, the right to mechanical reproduction, which is the recording itself that is usually
owned by the label.
But there are other instances where theres not a whole lot that youtubers can do about
a copyright claim, even if they sing acapella.
We did a video last week about james charles’ video getting demonitized after he replaced
the lyrics of famous songs with his own lyrics.
I guess its kind of a hit or miss.
I bet you’ll never miss.
Fair Use laws dictate how copyright content can be used in other scenarios without permission
from the copyright holder.
Like with the case of criticism, teaching, news reporting (hey hey) and research.
Im not sure about that one though.
IO tries to avoid using copyrighted material most of the time, because even we get copyright
claims on our videos.
I mean sure we could fight it, but it takes a while for youtube to resolve these claims,
which results in a ton of money lost anyway.
Oof the oofer – I just noticed how tall charlotte is.
I am pretty tall, almost 6 feet.
SuckerKiss – I’ve been subscribed to IO for many years and I know what this means.
They’re slowly weaning us off charlotte so she can leave and not lose subscribers.
IO did this before, introduce new hosts slowly and then replace…
Ummm hate to break it to you suckerkiss, but you’re wrong there.
I’m not leaving in fact, I have taken on more responsibilities since Hayley left.
We featured Jocelyn in one of our newer videos because we are trying to get our new channel,
Top 10 beyond the screen, off the ground.
SnowySkies – IO keeps adding people, we just need charlotte and johnny.
I can no spell good.
Once again, Jocelyn is the host of our new channel.
She probably wont be hosting IO videos.
XT Clan – Only subbed to Beyond The Screen Because of Charlotte.
#potatomafia Thingi – I’ve been watching the IO channel
since the waffle guy was here.
ahhhh waffle guy.
I miss him.
