Oh, no I got a copyright strike. Nothing is more frustrating than getting a copyright
strike on your video after you spend hours creating it. I've received multiple strikes
on my channel over the years so I know how it feels, and it doesn't feel good. In this
video, I'm going to show you the new YouTube studio tools you can use to remove copyright
claims from your videos in 2020. You'll learn where to find a copyright strike
info for your channel. What happens when you get a copyright strike, how to use the new
claim editing tool. How to use a new video list feature for copyright claims. Important
things you should know about YouTube and copyright. Hi, my name is Herman Drost. If you want to
grow your audience on YouTube, and generate traffic leads and sales on autopilot, hit
the subscribe button and click the bell notification icon so you'll be notified whenever I upload
new content. Log to YouTube channel, click on YouTube studio.
On the channel dashboard, you'll see your channel violations which can be a community
guidelines strike or copyright strike. Click the videos tab, click filter, click copyright
claims. You'll be able to see the videos, visibility, monetization, restrictions, date,
views, comments, likes, dislikes. If I hover over the copyright claim, it says this video
was found to contain copyrighted material. As a result, it cannot be monetized by the
uploader. This means I can still keep the video active
on my channel, but I just can't make money from it. If I click on see more details, then
I get the copyright summary in status. It says video cannot be monetized, the content
ID claim on your video doesn't affect your channel. This is not a copyright strike. It
shows the content used, claim type, impact on the video, video can't be monetized or
I can select ad revenue paid to copyright owner.
If I click on select action drop-down box, I can trim out a segment, replace the song,
mute the song or dispute it. If I replace the song or trim out the offending segment,
then I can monetize this video. I wouldn't have to worry about the content ID claim on
the video anymore. When you trim out copyrighted content claimed by Content ID on your video,
it automatically releases the claim. If you got a copyright strike and absolutely
believe it was an error, then, by all means, appeal the strike. Here's the message you'll
receive in YouTube studio if you got a copyright strike. The copyright owner asks us to take
down the video because they believe it contains material that violates their copyright. As
a result, the video is removed from YouTube, your channel received a strike.
If you get three copyright strikes, your account along with any associated channels will be
subject to termination. If you do nothing, the strike will expire after 90 days, you
can request a retraction, or you can submit a counter notification. Deleting the video
will not remove the strike. Under actions you can contact the claimant or you could
submit a counter-notification. What happens when you get a copyright strike?
Number one, it acts as a warning. The first time you get a strike you'll have to go through
copyright school. YouTube does this so you can understand copyright and how it's enforced
by YouTube. Number two, monetization is disabled. This means you're no longer be able to make
money from AdSense ads that are on that video. If your live stream was removed for copyright,
you won't be able to go live on your channel for 90 days. Number three, if you get three
copyright strikes, your channel and associated channels will be subject to termination. This
means all videos that you uploaded to your account will be removed, you won't be able
to create any new channels. Number four courtesy period. If your channel is a member of YouTube
Partner Program, you're eligible for a courtesy period of seven days before your channel is
disabled. During the seven day period, your copyright
strikes won't expire and you also won't be able to upload new videos to your channel.
Wow, that really sucks. Your channel will remain live during this period so you can
resolve these strikes. If the strikes are resolved through a retraction or a counter
notification, then your channel won't be disabled. Well, that's good news.
What if I give credit to the copyright owner? Does this mean I can use their content? Giving
credit to the copyright owner doesn't automatically give you the rights to use the copyrighted
content. Make sure you get permission from the copyright owner to use their content before
you upload the video to your channel. Can I use content that I purchased from iTunes,
CD or DVD? Just because you purchased the content it
doesn't mean that you can upload the content to YouTube. Even if you have a credit to the
copyright owner from the content that you purchased, it may still violate copyright
law. What if I recorded content from my TV, the movie theater or the radio? Is that okay?
Just because you recorded the content yourself, doesn't mean you have the rights to the content
and you can upload it to YouTube. For example, if you are filming video in a
mall, and there was background music that is copyrighted, you couldn't use that background
music in your video, you'd have to get permission from the owners of that music. What if I use
a few seconds of copyrighted content in my video? Any amount of unlicensed content, even
if it's for a few seconds, may result in a copyright claim from that owner.
For example, I received a copyright claim on a four-year-old video for just using a
couple of seconds in the video. My appeal failed so the video was removed, I lost revenue
that was generated from the video and I had to wait 90 days for the copyright strike to
be removed from my channel. Wow, that really sucks. Click the link in the card to learn
how to avoid fair use copyright on YouTube. Copyright strike or community guidelines strike.
What's the difference? YouTube says copyright strikes are issued when we remove content
because a copyright owner sent us a complete and valid legal request asking us to do so.
Community guidelines strikes are issued when we remove content because it violates YouTube's
community guidelines. This includes but is not limited to nudity, sexual content, violent
or graphic content, harmful or dangerous content or spam.
