How to Upload YouTube Videos Free of Copyright Claims
On this occasion I will share several ways to upload YouTube videos without copyright claims, based on my experience when playing YouTube in the past.
When making a YouTube video, apart from needing video editing software, we also have to have materials such as video and audio so that the video results are good. However, many take shortcuts by using copyrighted videos or audio without permission, thereby causing problems for their own YouTube channels.
YouTube Copyright Disclaimer is a condition where a video is indicated to use non-original content belonging to someone else. YouTube videos that violate copyright cannot be monetized or monetized by the copyright owner.
When a YouTube channel gets a Copyright Warning or Copyright Infringement warning on one of the videos it uploads, this means that part or all of the video content is the work or property of someone else.
YouTube itself is very strict in maintaining that every video uploaded to YouTube must be original content or copyrighted content but has official permission or license from the original owner. This can be reviewed on the application form or special claim form for copyright owners who feel their work was stolen without permission by one of the YouTube channels.
Copyright infringement on YouTube videos usually occurs when a video uses a copyrighted song or if the video is a reupload of a copyrighted video.
For example, Kamal has a cute cat, so Kamal records his pet’s activities and plans to upload them on YouTube. However, because Kamal likes listening to The Chainsmokers’ music, Closer, Kamal used the song as the background for his cat video before uploading it to YouTube. The song Closer from The Chainsmokers is a copyrighted song that is only distributed on YouTube by Vevo as the official channel of the music recording company. As a result, Kamal’s video was automatically subject to copyright infringement.
How to Upload YouTube Videos Free of Copyright Claims
Below are some tips and tricks to ensure that the videos you upload on YouTube are free from copyright claims.
1. Use songs without copyright
If you want to make a YouTube video and want to add audio or music, then there is a ton of music you can use for free. There are many music galleries that you can use for free without copyright infringement, one of which is YouTube Audio Library and NCS/Non Copyrighted Song.
2. Use Remixes of Popular Songs or Cover Versions
If you experience the same thing as Kamal’s case above, where you want to use a song by a famous musician who is currently popular, you can search for the song you want but in the form of a cover or remix. If you have found it, don’t forget to ask permission first from the owner of the cover or remix of the song. Usually asking permission from them is very easy.
3. Don’t re-upload other people’s copyrighted videos
Try to never re-upload YouTube videos belonging to other channels or videos from television, for example. If you still want to use the video, make sure you don’t use the whole video or only a small part of it. Reuse of copyrighted videos is permitted by YouTube as long as the video falls into the Fair Use or Fair Use category.
4. Choose videos or music that have a Creative Commons license
If you need videos with a certain nuance as material for creating content on YouTube, you can also reuse Creative Commons licensed videos. How to find creative commons videos, you can follow the steps below:
- Open the app YouTube.
- Enter keywords in the search.
- Press the search button (then the video you are looking for will appear).
- Click menu Filter and select Creative Commons.
After that, all the videos that appear are creative commons licensed videos, just download and upload them, but it would be better if they were re-edited into a compilation or edited again to make them interesting. Can add music or even add a logo.
These are some tips on how to upload YouTube videos without copyright claims. Hopefully this short article can help you in creating content and uploading it to YouTube.
