YouTube WMG authorization !

[Legend]

YouTube has been muting audio from thousands of videos coz its unauthorized by WMG, I thought this was done for videos with new hits only but thn they muted 2 of my videos with old songs and they've been muting many other fs vids as well ..

This shit is annoying honestly, they don't even let u upload an audio track instead of the one uploaded, u can just swap it with one of their weird songs.

I guess ppl will start uploading their videos to veoh or vemoh ..

that pissis me off so much. it says even if its very short. i thort u were allowd 2 copy 30 seconds of music without infringing copyrite crap. the stupid thing is they dont realy check the video, i assume it runs threw a program that ditects certain tunes or somthing.

yeah but the problem is when u have a video for like 2 years in ur channel and u really worked hard for the editing part to get the tricks goin with the music, and then sooo easily they just mute it :down:

Exactly, that makes me so much angry.

well i think yall should quit complaining. there is a reason for these copyright laws, and youtube has no choice, but to try to enforce them. vimeo and all the other video sites will do the same thing if they get as popular as youtube. i just recommend being a little smarter than to put real mainstream songs in your videos. you also have to look at it this way, the other path youtube could have taken would be to remove the video completely. wouldn't you rather them at least leave it on there in mute than remove it completely?

[AznMagic]

they say it doesn't matter but i say it does.... that you don't make money off the video or are trying to sell it in any way so it shouldn't fuckin matter.

or changing it up for urself.

they're saying shit like if you only take a bit of the music or change it up it doesn't matter it's still copyrights?

i could reverse the audio and cut it up to a beat and they'd never know if it was their song or not.  fuckin stupid.

Well, I'm not blaming YouTube itself for doing this, its not in thier hands .. wat I'm saying is that they should offer better solutions than just tht AudioSwap thing, why not let the user upload another audio track or just audio swap the part with the copyrighted song instead of replacing the whole thing.

And yeah as Ed said if ur not making money of ur video thn why this WMG company really bothers using their music, its just not the right decision.
