Well one of my videos have been claimed for copyright ( which I understand but i do own the video portion.) will it get removed from youtube? I mean it has ads on it for kesha haha and it shows a thing to download her music. Is that all their going to do or are they going to remove the video as well? I have the option to appeal but I feel that'd take it to the point of it getting removed instantly.

Do you own all the rights to everything you've uploaded? If so, dispute it. If not, remove the video. Simple

Honestly you shouldn't be uploading content you don't own the rights to in the first place. It's against YouTube's ToS, and you can get sued for it.

I did own rights to the video portion just not the music, I did not know that you had to have a legal dispute, if I did dont think I wouldnt have uploaded it? haha[DOUBLEPOST=1366155526,1366155444][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes, I understand you own the rights to the video portion. But you do not own the rights to the audio. You must own 100% of the content you are uploading, or you take the risk of getting sued by the content owners. (It's rare, but very possible).

Here's how this works - if you upload something you do not own, YouTube flags it as third-party content. The content owner can choose between these three options:

• Do nothing
• Monetize your video for themselves
• Have your video removed and issue a copyright strike

Now, it seems in your case, they've chosen the second option. The two things to keep in mind are:

1. They can change their policy at any time (meaning you could find yourself with a copyright strike tomorrow)
2. This does not mean they have voided their ability to sue you for violating copyright. Again even if they gain ad money off of your video, they can still go back and sue you for doing it in the first place.

There are plenty of people who upload content they don't have a license for, but they are playing with fire. You don't want to take that risk.

Now that brings up how can gamers get partner'd since they dont own all the rights to their games since they didn't make them.

You do not need to make the content to have the rights to it. A lot of games issue a third-party claim on the videos. Networks provide the licences for the games. That is why most gamers do not monetize their videos until they are partnered with a network.

This is true but I'd add that most gaming is monetized under fair use laws and that networks often don't have as many licenses as they like us to believe.

Most gaming doesn't qualify as fair use. That's a defense if you're critiquing the game itself. A large amount of gaming footage does not fall under this category.

It's mostly just that it's loosely prosecuted.
