Matched Third Party Content

[ThatsCohmedy]

Hey all, just posted my most recent video, a parody of Phillip Phillips' Home. I used a karaoke backing track that I found online and I got an e-mail recognizing third party content (the karaoke backing track).

My video wasn't blocked, but I appear to be restricted from a few things, including monetizing the video myself and using annotations that link to subscribing to my page (it seems like it'll only let me link to another video). Unless there's some other reason it won't let me use the annotation feature.

I've heard about fighting third-party copyright claims by claiming "Fair Use." Has anybody ever done this? Is it worth it in my case? Would love any input from those who have been through this before.

The subscriber thing not working is just a youtube glitch right now. You can try to fight the claim if the track has a creative commons 3.0 license attributed to it otherwise you can just leave the video and not monetize it.

You can dispute the claim under Fair use. More info here youtube.com/yt/copyright/fair-use.html

It doesn't have a CC 3.0 license that i know of. Thanks for letting me know about the subscriber thing.

Cool, thanks for the link. I know that I can fight it.

Should I? Could it lead to anything bad like the video getting banned if I don't win it? That would seem retaliatory, but I don't really know how these fights typically go. Thanks.

Its not even worth it. I would take it down sng use cc music.

I get copyright claims constantly whenI upload. I use music from iLife tracks, and they're royalty free. I dispute the claims and within the next day they're dropped.

The copyright holder can either, release the claim, reinstate it or remove the video (never usually happens since they want $$$). You wouldn't get banned though, you would get a copyright strike if they removed it.

Again they usually don't ever do that. If you think it falls under Fair use then yes you should dispute.

I am afraid this isn't fair use and the only way to remove it is to delete the video. The karaoke track you used was owned by someone and simply quoting fair use or giving credit isn't good enough. Sorry about that!

No. 3rd party claim means that the original artist is allowing you to use their music but they make money from the ads and not you. I wouldn't fight it since you admit its not your music. 3rd party claims are also dangerous for the reason that the artist of the song can at any time decided they don't want anyone to use that track. When they do that the 3rd party claim becomes a copyright strike.
