Copyrighted music on youtube
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:08 pm
Here's an example of what happens when there's copyrighted music in the background of a video..

Here's what I see:
Your video, Katherine Singing , may include content that is owned or licensed by these content owners:
* Content owner: WMG Type: Audio content
As a result, the audio track of your video is muted.
What should I do?
No action is required on your part. Use AudioSwap to replace the audio in your video with a track from our library of prelicensed songs. After you swap, your video will be available globally.
What can I do about my video's status?
Please note that the video's status can change, if the policies chosen by the content owners change. You may want to check back periodically to see if you have new options available to you.
Under certain circumstances, you may dispute this copyright claim. These are:
* if the content is mistakenly identified and is actually completely your original creation;
* if you believe your use does not infringe copyright (e.g. it is fair use under US law);
* if you are actually licensed by the owner to use this content.
I need more information. I want to learn more about the dispute process.
