Youtube videos being deleted?

I regret to inform you that any music which is not your creation

and used as part of your video is indeed copyright infringement.

Companies like UMG, Warner and Viacom not only "own" their

music, they also "own" the rights to them, which includes how

and where the music can be publicly presented and performed.

Thus they would be 100% within their rights to claim the music

in your video as their own -- especially if you didn't seek written

permission or licence to use it and "broadcast" it over YouTube.

They could easily and legally force YouTube to take your video

"off the air" (potentially banning you) for any number of reasons:

1) If you used "their music", it is considered part of the famous

sentence "unauthorized duplication, whether in whole or in part,

without the expressed written consent of...." Their fear wouldn't

just be about you, but also other people who could conceivably

download, copy or listen to that music without having bought it.

2) You are potentially lessening the value of "their property" by

presenting and "broadcasting" it in a bad-quality, tiny 4x3-inch,

poor-resolution, mono-sounding and possibly amateurish video.

3) They may think your video makes "their property" look either

bad, cheap or unappealing to someone who could otherwise be

considering purchasing "their music".

4) They could also be thinking that anyone's memory or mental

image of "their music" could forever be "haunted" by images of

your video or your YouTube channel if they feel it's in bad taste.

You may be involuntarily "defaming" the artist and/or the music.

Even if you've given due credit on your video to the music label,

the artist or the music itself, that should never be construed as

a validation, excuse or justification for you (and really YouTube)

to "break the law". You can always claim that your video is "for

personal use only", but then they could come back at you with

some interesting questions: A) why did you upload the video to

YouTube, B) why did you "steal" the artist's music, and C) how

did you acquire that music? (note: Even if you bought it legally,

that doesn't give you blanket permission to use it "willy-nilly" or

as if you're a legal representative of the artist.)

As for the other people who may be uploading the same music,

either YouTube will get to them eventually or somebody who is

jealous will "flag" their video. If you're willing to take the chance

and reupload your video with the same music, avoid writing the

name of the song or the artist in either your title, description or

tags. Also, don’t use sentences like "no copyright infringement

intended", "I do not own the song" or "I don't take any credit for

this music". YouTube's computers search for phrases like that.

You should also bear in mind that the music-recording industry

is beginning to implement the use of inaudible "watermarks" or

"fingerprints" hidden inside their music, in order to uncover and

identify their illicit use. As such, it's conceivable that no matter

how many times you upload your video, it'll always be rejected

because of copyright reasons. You'd thus probably have to find

a different recording of the music you would want to use. If you

noticed other videos using the same music, they were probably

uploaded before this new technology started coming into being.

The only possible exception to everything I just wrote is for you

to use music that is less than 30 seconds long. If you listen to

any talk-show on radio or TV, they will never play or use music

longer than 30 secs during a guest introduction or segué going

into and out of commercials. Guess what the reason is.

I hope my info has been helpful to you.

On the off chance that your question is not a joke, you don't have the right to redistribute those pictures and that music. You have to post content that you created, not other people's content.

Me videos were all my own and the same thing has happened to some of my videos!!

it might be because they made the video before you did and they told Youtube.com, then removed it because of that.
