Its very cool that Youtube is considering different methods for Youtubers to use music in their backgrounds. I would recommend a video with more information on this topic too. This way, those in the future that get their videos removed can view the video for more info. It would be great in the future if Youtube allowed a music track that can be added at Audioswap that doesnt remove the original sound but is an addition. Secondly, it would be a good idea to let the marketing staff talk to major record companies will early release songs and see if their songs can be used in our videos. Its a form of free advertisement. We could also have a choice of another song so when the time frame for that original song has ran out. They could pay to have this because every time a new song is being used, an icon for an Ad could be automatically applied. I also think its great and I have written Youtube about this but get the word out that certain artists are allowing certain songs to be used here. If the list was compiled and listed by genre that would also help and could be marketed as Artists Shared Music. Just a thought. ~Regards, Raven
Part 2~ To add,--- record companies or new artists desire to get the music heard. Youtube could charge for this and Youtubers could use their music in their videos as well as a link that viewers could click on to buy the song. If you make it where the songs have a time constraint, example-3months,...then when the Youtuber goes to use this song, they ALSO have an option to add another song for when the time runs out. This gives the record companies opportunities to get their song out especially for new artists. ~Regards, Raven
Thanks for posting this. It really means a lot to us users that you understand why we are upset about it. But you are right, it is all up to the record label. Hopefully in the future, major labels like UMG and Hollywood records can use this as free advertising. Maybe by putting an ad for the artist/label beside the video so they earn revenue from it.
so does this mean that if users used their copyrighted music, the artists could monetize it and earn from our videos (with ads going to the artist)? I'd be all for it.
This is Bull Shit. Youtube is making money off things the way they are and will keep doing so until they are shut down. The music and entertainment industry is rightfully angry because they can't sell what they own when people on youtube are giving their property away for free.
Type in "Copyright infringement" and you will get 160,000 hits. Almost all are illegal. One site says "No copyright infringement intended. Columbia pictures owns the rights to these films. I upload them so people can watch the movies for free" You think the studios are not going to fight back?
With Youtube ignoring their own guidelines it is only a matter of time before the courts shut them down. Just like Napster.
By the way, I want to make it clear that I don't necessarily agree that they should be shut down, and coming to money agreements with the artists might be a step in the right direction, but unless they do more than just ignore the copyright abuse going on, they are going to have a tough legal fight on their hands. They have rules for their members, but you have to look hard to find them.
That's silly that Warner isn't dealing with youtube anymore when on the news I read that universal has made MILLIONS doing it! I hope they change their minds!!!
There are still a bit of misunderstandings with the Content ID Program. While I know that UMG often places advertising on videos that use their music, it still seems that quite a few of UMG's music gets blocked. Not even the music in AudioSwap is a sign of what music is ok to use, because I've heard that some videos have been blocked for using copyrighted music, but the track was available in AudioSwap.
what about if the music owners don't have a youtube channel to show proof of copyright. i have some songs that i dont own in my videos but thats because i checked to see if the artist or company had a channel that could mark me for copyright material in my videos but they dont so....
Warner Music videos removed from YouTube Hello Dawn,I just read your article about Warner and Youtube and feel very disapointed.These videos are free addversitising for the artists.I paid over $250.00 to see the Rolling Stones for each ticket {X4}.How much money do these people want,are they really lacking that they have to charge for something that BOUNTY pays for?Or any other advertiser we see commersials for on T.V.Since they pay for the slot on the tele then they should pay for the slot on Youtube,hell its not like they a`int got it like that.And besides its the live shows where they make the real money,why should they make money when they are sitting in a lounge chair at some resort drinking a mai-tai.The video`s and audio`s are their advertising.
unfortunately, starving artists cant get by with the PENNIES they get as royalties from these BEHEMOTH corporations. greed has its own special life, residing in the hearts of ignorant business people who never feel hunger. rather than pay the performer, listeners are actually sending 95 percent of the purchase price to people who leech a living from the true artists. just like the old gangs of the past, studios are criminals and liars, protected by legions of leechy lawyers. if the perfomer isnt in front of me, i dont buy, listen or care about their message.
It's Warner's lost! cd sales continue 2 fall. They need 2 embrace the internet.
So if WMG is being this way, I need 4 them & their subsidies 2 be down IMMEDIATELY! They dont want us 2 use their music, then they shouldnt promote here either.
YouTube = YouSnob - just like Microsoft in its baddest day, you are just like them. Your attitude sucks, you have no customer service, and you think your shit don't stink - we'll it certainly does!
Again, I don't want outube shut down, but it will be.
It is not "good publicity" for them.
No, you are stealing their work. Youtube says "Broadcast yourself". Not others. If they want publicity, it is up to them to get it. Not you.
If a concert or TV show is "broadcast" then all of those involved get royalties. Look at the rules here. they are being ignored.
Here is an example: Youtube user "goonietastic" ET is still for sale for $10. This guy is giving it away. That is why they are mad. He owes someone $400,000.
Once again, the music labels miss the point completely: This is fan-driven free advertising for them. It carries none of the fees(often quite substantial) it takes to get a video into rotation with MTV. It has a far bigger userbase. It creates a culture around the bands. That culture buys albums, tickets and swag.
The biggest problems that the music industry faces today is that instead of getting their arms around the Internet, instead of thinking "How can we leverage this enthusiasm and this truly fan-based model" they are instead trying to wipe it out and sue the fans into the poor house.
These are not the brightest bulbs in God's chandelier.
I had recieved a notification from UMG over my use of their music (a song by Pavoratti) in one of my videos. Rather than take it down, they posted links to Itunes and Amazon for that song on my video's page.
It's still rather vague on what music is ok or not, one of my friends on Youtube recently had a video taken down with Shania Twain music in it despite the fact that Shania is Signed under UMG
I'm glad you got this headache to sort out rather than me. Slightly off-topic - but I saw the link to your YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Very interesting project. I guess you're going to be looking at the copyright issue from both sides of the fence.
One has to wonder why the music industry hates it customers so much.
Obviously, they have a right to protect their IPs, but at the same time, the group that is hurt the most by this isn't youtube, its the customers and fans who want to express themselves and give free (FREE) advertising to music industry my using their music in the videos they create.
Some artists are signed to various labels in different countries. An artist might be signed to UMG in one country but also liscenced to WMG in another country hence why videos with content from other labels are being removed too.
I can't beleave that a-ha's Take On Me video has been deleted. It had over 8 million views.Does Warner honestly beleave that this kind of behaviour will be positive for them and for the artists they represent ?
In a world where recordlabel has become very selective in wich artists they chose to back up with their promotioanl machine, youtube is a positive thing for both artists, fans and yes recordlabels. Alot of free promotion wich is good for everyone.
If you are adding music to a video that you have made/created, your work can be pulled because of copyrights - I just check out tribe of noise and there are no copyright problems now or in the future the musicians want you to use it, it was created under a special creative commons license your work would never get pulled it is really worth a look
Dont you think its just free-advertising for the artists?! We are only posting videos here..the music is usually jsut a background sound; something to keep the film interesting. Its not like we are selling the music!
I think Youtube just shot themselves in the foot by playing hardball.
Warner, Sony BMG, EMI and Universal Music Group are in early phases of talks to have a separate music video service than YouTube, as the Google service is asking for more revenue share now.
This has been a long time coming. And, is part of the evolution of the video web.

Figures that Youtube wants to protect the interests of big business, rather than the actual users. Way to fuck the userbase in the ass, you greedy bastards.
I used to think of youtube as an entity that stands for freedom and sharing of information. Now i can t even watch my fav clips when i go back in my home country. What s up with this "not available in your country" bullshit???? Since when???
youtube is not what it used to be.. all its got is the fact that its the biggest video database but since information flow is restricted it stands against the wave of globalization and what made it popular in the first place.
why the FUCK is youtube removing music from roadrunner records when they own it???? they have the copyright and everything!!!!!! Youtube just became shittier. Now i cant even watch my fav music vids because they deleted it. What bullshit this is.
I can't believe how many idiots there are when it comes to copyright law. YT isn't the one being greedy. They have to pay a fucking licensing fee to keep our videos active. Warner Music Group decided to be a greedy bastard and demand more. When they didn't get the amount they wanted or liked, they pulled out working with YT. Silly, ignorant users! YT has long come out as being on OUR side where access to music and movies is concerned. If you lot of stupid people actually kept up with the news, you wouldn't leave such ridiculous, uninformed comments.
I'm just looking for a place to lodge a complaint about YouTube since they've so helpfully have broken links on their "contact us" page.
YouTube - why is it that every video I watch now has horrible ad layovers that block my video and that I can't easy close? I work in digital advertising so I get that you are selling some valuable real estate. But if you continue to ruin my user experience, this won't be a preferred site for me to visit anymore. IMPROVE YOUR AD LAYOVERS AND POP UPS!!!!! If you can't make sure that I have the option to easily close them, then remove them all together!!!!
Hey everyone, don't be mad at Youtube. They're doing the best they can to license music so we can watch. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the record companies *coughs*Warner Bros.*coughs* But oh well, there isn't much we can do. I doubt that all our complaining will make Warner Bros. change their minds.
Ok, I understand the need to comply with the licensing agreements. I was given a notice of infringement and corrected it with the use of the Audio Swap feature. Now i have advertisements on my main page???? Also i can't sign in the my "account" tab as I get a warning from my Anti virus program (malicious program) what gives? Thanks for any help. CMHorst
HEY YOUTUBE! I USED AUDIOSWAP FOR MY REVERSE VIDEO!!! AND YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL SAYING THAT THE MUSIC WAS COPYRIGHTED!!! NOW LISTEN HERE! I USE THE AUDIO SWAP AND NOW YOU TOOK MY VIDEO DOWN! JUST BECAUSE IT WAS COPYRIGHTED WHEN I USED YOUR! AUDIOSWAP!
You Tube tries to please everyone and gets no thanks from anyone.Warner is greedy and You Tube is footing the bill for all the whiny petty little users on this comment board calling You Tube names for the services You Tube gives the users for free.Internet society sucks.Thanks You Tube.Good luck with trying to please the ungrateful masses. It is and always will be a Thankless Job.
I don't know what the most popular searches are, but I'm assuming that music related videos are high up there. YouTube knows that by not having an agreement with WB, both parties are losing a lot of money. YouTube needs to act QUICK before these big music companies start creating their own versions of YouTube, which they certainly can and probably will do. Not everyone, especially music corporations wants to be employed by Google, but at the moment, that's the best option there is (smart move by Universal) considering YouTube is one of the biggest websites on earth. Eventually, I see ALL of Universal's videos going to Hulu.com once their contract with YT expires. YouTube should cash in when the time is right, which is NOW. As far as Audioswap, I find it to be a horrible system (as most YT users would agree). I think you need a better development team to work on things like that. Users try Audioswap only to find out it's a failure with extreme limitations. Obviously, the only way to track the music being used on billions of videos being uploaded is to develop an amazing program which will ID each video. That would probably take hundreds of millions of dollars or maybe even a billion to develop. On top of that, it's nearly impossible to develop because when a track is used behind a vlogging voice, it makes it harder to "scan" what song is being used. Too crazy!!!
Ugh, This is a bad idea on Warner Music Group.I'm about to take my videos somewhere else without these greedy corps. like UMG and Song BMG now WMG its a bunch of bull.
The problem with audio swap is that it can only be used on videos that have no audio other than the original music. These songs should be available for download so they can have dialogue as well.
I loved sending the videos via email with those lovely , beautiful Holiday Cards you provided just like ecards. I guess they were only for the Holidays whereas their no longer there. Would you please consider bringing them back with cards applicable for year round , birthdays,weddings,anniversary's,congratulatory,gradution,get well, humorous , wildlife/nature scenery etc.Currently I send ecards they have all the above ahh but it would be better to have the best of both worlds card and video !! Danka ! Happy Holidays !!
Youtube is making an effort. As little as it is. To avoid lawsuits putting them out of business, like Napster.
They will be sued out of business if they don't do a lot more to advertise and enforce their own guide lines. Has anyone read them? Can anyone find them?
They basically say BROADCAST YOURSELF. Not others or other peoples stuff. YOURSELF. Record something off the TV? You don't have the broadcast rights, can't use it. Sing or play a song YOU didn't write or was written after 1923? Sorry. It isn't yours. Record a public concert or performance with your camcorder? Illegal to "Broadcast" since it is copyrighted material. And movies and movie clips are the same.
Doesn't leave much left. The problem is, other broadcast medium pay the artist for the material that is given away here for nothing. This makes it impossible for the owner to sell it. Wanting to get paid for your work isn't being "greedy"
And this garbage about giving them "free publicity". If you own a car dealership and someone steals a car, they can't use the excuse, "I'm driving it around town, I'm giving you publicity" Same thing here.
I don't want youtube shut down, but if they don't find away monitor what's going on and compensate those who are being ripped off, then their days are numbered.
Go to the goonietastic site and see how blatant the violations are with nothing being done. These type of sites will kill YOUTUBE in the courts.
I had two emails concerning my videos, What I'm fustrated greatly about is that I emphasize that the artist(s) were owners of that song(s), but it didn't seem enough, now whoever marked dispute claims now have access to the number of viewers I get, or add advertisements on the video. I hate to say it but Youtube isn't that kind of place it use to be... Read the comments, if you REALLY care about what the users think...
I used to have over 100 tribute videos to soldiers, police officers, firemen, etc. now im down to 92 I lost one of my videos about a helf hour ago to content owners, what the hell is the point of adding more tributes to these people on youtube if all my videos keep getting smacked down by content owners even if i say their name and music title at the end of the video and in the discription. What the hell happend to youtube i miss the old youtube were you don't have to worry about content owners barging in and taking your videos away

one ridiculous thing that happened to a friend of mine: sb claimed their copyrights on one of his vid's songs.when my friend saw it and decided to swap the music and replace it with one you provide, he saw THE SAME song in your base of audioswaps as he got sued about.

Whogopenguin":If we credit somebody, it is ridiculous that they have the cheek to claim copyright issues. As I understood it, as long as you give full credit, it was fine, but no, you have to be difficult." (Sounds best when read with a Homer Simpson voice).
Sorry, the owners of the material don't want your "credit". They want to get paid for what THEY own. When you finish your shift at Burger King, and the boss says you won't get money, just credit for doing a good job at the french fry machine, you are going to be mad. The owners of the material you are stealing are mad.
Tasharules: "I miss the old youtube were you don't have to worry about content owners barging in and taking your videos away"
Taking YOUR videos away? It is the content owners material. YOU are stealing from them.
Unless the artist who are being ripped off start getting the royalties they are owed, and people stop putting unauthorized TV clips, Photos, movie clips , songs and videos of public performances then outube is on it's way to being sued out of existance.

I think audioswap needs more categories. I realize the songs are broke down by genres. It would be helpful if there is a mood category. For example: If someone is looking for a song pertaining sadness it would be easier to find. All you would have to do is click on the mood your looking for and it will give a list of songs.
My issues with copyright laws go way beyond what is happening here at You Tube.
I have serious issues, for example, with record labels who feel the own the rights of a work ad infinitum. There are videos with music in them, music that was made 3-4 decades ago, that are being blocked by a 'copyright holder' even though they are no longer making the music available through commercial channels. The copyright laws need to be changed they stifle creativity and reduce who we are as a people to just a corporation's 'bottom line'. Our culture should not be held hostage like it is.
Contact you representatives in government and let them know that the copyright laws need to be changed...
YouTube knows that even though many people want to watch the Daily Show and South Park on YT, we can't, and so instead YT encourages users to develop quality content themselves, which we do. Just like with visual media, YT shouldn't be breaking its back to get permission from music studios for commercial music, but forming alliances with Creative Commons sites to encourage people to create and make available music content the same way it does for video content. I make sure all my music either has permission or CC licensing, and the added reward of discovering someone new that is just as good as a commercial artist adds to the satisfaction of making YT videos.
By the way, I don't think I will ever use audioswap. It is a nice first step of getting companies used to using the music, but the inability to put the sound in with the video soundtrack (ie - having the music as BGM to ambient sounds or conversation), and the inability to handle the file directly to beatmatch or edit a file as a music vid makes it unuseable. I hope that it is part of a longer term strategy to secure licensing to allow users to download and use music for the sole purpose of inclusion, with proper credit, in fully edited videos for YouTube.

According to the EVP of UMG's eLabs you don't have the "composition sync license" cleared. My video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05psVut4Ep4, which uses a clip in a way they've expressly APPROVED, has been forced to be muted, changed, or deleted. Please explain!!

In a way I can understand what they're doing. But in another it seems absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps its because I'm frustrated my video was pulled featuring a incomplete audio track from Elvis. You know, that guy who's been dead for 30 years, so I doubt he cared enough to pull my video.
So its obvious the record companies are just being greedy here. I mean, heaven forbid someone try to listen to a compressed, mono, incomplete, 40 year old Elvis song without paying! I know YouTube is trying to play ball to prevent being sued (and possibly shut down), but I hope this stupidity can end soon.
I found a very good look at the Louis Vuitton handbags I would like to share with you! http://www.europehandbag.com/miu-miu/vitello-lux-large-patent-leather-shopper-bag-88049-white.html
Screw you Warner. Why can't you just give use the right to put it has friggin background music. This sucks bad. I'm not gonna buy your CD's anymore if you can't even give me the right to use it as background music.
i remember a time, before google buoght youtube when this was a place of freedom. we could post what we wanted with the contect we watned (no porn?nudity of course), but we could use all the resources we wanted for our creations. now, it a stepping stone trail across a lake of fire just to get a video that wont get pulled down, cause we looked at the screen wrong.
Youtube is making some serious mistakes, and we pay for it. Pray to the gods another site doesnt come around and cripple this sorry excuse of a site
Before, it was user content all over, now its riddled with corp/commercial garbage.
Youtube is on a downhill slope to EPIC FAIL. enjoy the ride down everyone, but dont expect any background music.
i didn't read the whole thing but why is everyone freaking out about so warner bros is taking away their music in audio swap they never had any rock music in it im happy about it cause their taking away all their none rock music its something to celebrate not be sad about rejoice fellow youtubers rejoice!!!
I have two movies of the same song, and one of them just go the boot from Warner Bros. And the odd part is that the reason it took it down was use of a song, but the song I used WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONG
I don't understand why you are unable to do a counter notification. My videos were sent to me from the music company, therefore I have the right to put up the video. I would understand if you couldn't verify the claims, but these were gained and cleared the right way.
So, only WMG and UMG music is copyrighted, well at least now I know not to use those companies. However, I have used some music by UMG, and it is allowed, so they put ads on my video. Why cant WMG be like that?
It seems to me that You Tube should be putting more effort in shutting down some of these "trolling" and "clone" accounts, that are growing in numbers like weeds lately. This is supposed to be a video sharing site. However, there are many accounts set up by individuals whose sole purpose is for nothing else but to post hate, insults, grossouts, and (excuse the expression) overall shit slinging. I know of several individuals who had videos removed for this new music policy which had been up for over a year and were quality productions. I understand from some people trying to upload new clips that they expereienced frustration excessive time in getting the video to eventually post. The reasoning behind this whole issue is both confusing and unecessary. Your management should be more focused on increasing the financial bottom line. Irratating and discoraging people is not the way to do it.
I know people say that the artist owns the song, and should get payed for making it, and I totally agree, but we did buy the music in the first place so I think we have the right to use it.
Youtube sirs, I think you should talk with the (excuse the expression) morons of Warner Music to let us put really good AMV's with great songs in your site.
I think that AMV's are a free mode to promote a song, because they don't spend money in any videos, the fans make the videos putting their favorite songs in the videos.
I think Warner and the other morons of the Music Recording Industries must be more worried about the piracy in countries like Mexico, not in AMV's that only promote "their products". (Note: I'm from Mexico, so I can assure that.)
It's sad to see how things work there in U.S. the only thing you think of is money.
I realize this may not be a realistic option, and I'm just one voice here, but I would think some vid posters would be willing to pay a nominal, one-time fee for the 'right' to post a vid with copyright material in it. I wonder if this has ever been proposed as an option?
Why is Youtube refusing to allow users to file a DMCA counter claim for the music that has been removed? In some cases, the music was only playing in the background as someone was talking or dancing. In others only a short snippet (25 sec) or less was being used. Both are examples of fair use claims which all citizens have the right to assert.
How does Youtube justify their failure to apply with the DMCA counter notice provisions? Is this going to be another example where the user base is going to sue Youtube to get them back into compliance with federal law?
F**k you to infinity, Warner. You were the one who claimed that goddamn song, Numb/Encore in my New Stepmania HD vid? Why the f**k would you do that? You're just selfish, scumbags. Stepmania is a music game, like ddr, and no music defeats the purpose.
why the Hell is warnermusicgroup taking away all roadrunnerrecords videos they were fine with them having some of their videos before i want to listen slipknots songs and other peoples songs to
I have over 30 videos on this site and they going after them becuase of the Music i have on them, I put the Band and solo singer who performs each song at the end and there saying that copy right infringement thats bullshit, I've had an account on here for two damn year and they start going and attcking them now thats not right it bullshit.
on my new video,witer 2008:beach bumz and jackasses, i was actually doing a particular song a favor. the song: you only get what you give has not even been heard by most people. AND I ONLY USED IT FOR THE END CREDITS! TIME WARNER YOU AND YOUR COMPANY ARE A SHAM! WHEN WILL U REALIZE THAT NO ONE LIKES YOU! JUST LIKE THE WRITERS STRIKE THAT YOU CREATED A YOUTUBE STRIKE WILL BE CREATED TOO! when people realize that any song they put up ,or any movie for that matter, will automatically be muted, more and more people will leave youtube and start looking for other more reasonable video uploading sites like google video or another place. Youtube be warned, if you continue to let Warner Music do this your site will continue to lose popularity and eventually vanish!

Fucking hell. Why do so many artists have to be so overdramatic about the use of their work? They're advertising your song, for one thing. For another, most programmers (including me) release the stuff they make for reuse, usually under very non restrictive terms. Music companies, however, shit their pants if someone has one of their songs as background music.
Youtube seems to be perfectly fine with letting assholes flame other assholes, though. Has anyone on "The YouTube Team" ever read any of the text comments in a popular video? They're full of twits insulting other twits about meaningless things. Why don't you do something about that?
If they want to kill the golden goose....go for it. But what I don't like is when someone, lets use shinedown as an example, puts up their music and a third party complains.... there is a problem....
I wanted to use a bit of copyright music as background for a short film to run on Youtube. I didn't realise at that point that a deal had been done with the PRS and contacted them myself offering to pay a licence fee. To put it mildly, they were a bit surprised I offered and had no mechanism for allowing that to happen.

this is gay now if u wnt to put ur favorit song with ur video u cant because of the dumb ass copy right issue so i am guess that youtube will dive down cuz no one will want to put there videos up becasue there wont be any sound so i say dont do that it is just gay and most likely 90% of the music has been already bought soo really they already have the copyright thing but yea this is very GAAAAAYYYYY!!!
My only gripe about audio swap is it replaces the sound for your entire vid, if there was a way to only put the song in select parts of your vid that would be much better (Like the notations)
Copy and paste this if you agree, then there will be a better chance this is read.
I think Warner Music needs to consider the peripheral money making aspects to allowing Youtube users to use their artist's music. Please think laterally and not just a straight line down to the bottom line on their Youtube account balance sheet. Just think of some clips that have taken a back water song and made it a top 10 hit - there are a few that Youtube and it's uploaders can take credit for. Anyway I'm sure it will all be resolved soon - as Youtube is really the market leader by a long shot....a very long shot. They are an equal, if not a greater power than Warner Music - so let the strings loosen Warner please! Pretty please....
The trouble with the music company(s) is not good for all, i can't understand the company(s) but i can't understand you YOU TUBE Team,a many users making very goods videos from their favo bands,the company(s)should be happy with ANY free advertising but they delete the videos and then you comes YOU TUBE and suspended the account,give your users a chance....
The trouble I have believing this, is the fact that in experiences I've become aware of, (friends griping, my own, ect) is that there is NO warning before the video is taken down, any more. It is just pulled, and often times the maker is even unaware that it is gone for a period of time.
Doesn't it make a difference if we put in a detailed Disclaimer?
Well yet again the Music Industry Asshats shoot themselve in the foot. You thing that after seeing several great songs taken down because of their greediness that I or any other smart person is going to buy ANY music from them again. They need to come up with a realistic way of protecting the artist AND the Fans! One is nothing without the other. Bye Bye Warner Music Group.
You know,everytime I listen to Linkin Park or any WMG song,i always think of this and feel like,"why am i listening to this?" if WMG will not allow any LP songs on YT,then i might just stop listneing to LP songs
It took me a week to finish a video I wanted to make for a long time. I worked really hard on it because I wanted to enter a contest here in youtube. It was EXTREMELY frustrating to find out that my video was taken down because of copyright infringement, I wish the audioswap option would work, but it just doesn't.... it is not the same creation. I understand that WMG is probably losing business because of YT, but they should understand that YT has grown significantly to be causing any kind of problems to its users.
first of all audioswap is the dumbest idea ever. videos created around a song are ruined because the songs in the library don't fit the video both in length and meaning. i spent a lot of time making a video that i was proud of and i go to put it on youtube and guess what, no audio because the song is owned by WMG. do they not realize that when viewers like songs they go and buy them on itunes. that equals more money for them, but they can't see that because heads are stuck up their asses.
My only gripe about audio swap is it replaces the sound for your entire vid, if there was a way to only put the song in select parts of your vid that would be much better (Like the notations) Copy and paste this if you agree, then there will be a better chance this is read. Cheers!
As some people already said, what's the problem of putting up some commercial songs in Fan Videos? I made up a video about a game and I used some WMG songs, with due credit to the bands on the end of the video... So I'm kinda advertising for those songs and making them more popular. So if I ain't selling shit or making any commercial use of the video, exactly on the opposite, I'm advertising for that band/song, what's the problem of using it?
Jesus Christ, solve this problem already, or Youtube will be going down the shithole.
in my opinion the music company wont earn any money without "youtube" cuz youtube is one of the most favourite Web-Site, which most young ppls/teenagers and adults... are visiting and youtube is making a good promotion for the music company... so if they wanna check how is it that the music vids of them are gone from youtube so just test it but i dont think so that they would earn more money cuz youtube dont got the lisence for the music videos anymore...
...Are these YouTube retards even reading the comments of this many pissed-off people to actually do something about this? I'm certainly not about to spend a week or more putting effort into making a video to upload on this shit and fuck site, only to have the audio muted or the video removed afterwards. YouTube you idiotic jerks, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR YOU'LL LOSE AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF USERS!!!!!!!!!!
Not-So-Sincerely, EternalLunar, a soon-to-leave User of YouTube...
I think it's stupid how if you put a lot of effort into a video and use 30 seconds of a song the video gets pulled. This is dumb, because it's actually your original creation, and should not be removed just because there is 30 or more seconds of the audio.
Chaoswarloch , Yt claims that no matter how many other vids with the same song are left, it's completely ok to them to pull down one certain vid which they set their eye on. to Yt: why are you pulling down the vids with songs that already ARE in audioswaps?I mean one vid with seether song. It's already in audioswaps section BUT the uploader got the music muted , moreover , she can't even swap the music.
Yeah, I know it is completely ok to from a business standpoint. They own the website, so they should get to choose what they want on there and what they don't want. But from a moral standpoint, it is low of them to just remove some and not give equal treatment to different people.
This WMG copyright crap has gotten WAAAAAY out of hand. They don't own every song in the world. Copyrighted by WMG my butt. It's an utter outrage. I can't upload a simple video of a performance I credit the band for. This was a video SPECIFICALLY MADE for the song, so I couldn't use audioswap. Get out of Youtube, WMG!
My clip "Mr. Bojangles" by Jerry Jeff Walker is taken from our "owned video", "The Arlo Guthrie Show." We have the rights to this show. However, from what I understand, WMG, just bought the publishing. What a shame, I don't think Jerry Jeff is going to like this. He had 85,000 views. I hope this problem can be resolved.
Wmg removed the videos of MEGADETH'S OFFICIAL FUCKING CHANNEL because they claimed it belonged to THEM! WMG ARE MONEY WHORES!!! Newsflash, WMG, Megadeth's music belongs to CAPITAL RECORDS, NOT YOU!
Funny how YT blocks this comment and makes me unable to post my opinion of this. FUCK YT. YES, SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS. VIACOM AND WMG SEE YOUTUBE AS $$$ AND WANT TO MILK OUT THE CASH.
I have received two notices about WMG content.. and that's after choosing the audio tracks via the AudioSwap "pre-approved" library of licensed music... hmmmmm????
When I'm reading or doing homework or w/e I listen to music via youtube. I don't wanna buy every song I just wanna hear once. So I don't get it, does WMG WANT us to use limewire?...
First of all, the audioswap would be great if it actually had good music. Most of us make our videos to go with the original songs we use. It looks pretty stupid when you replace the audio with something that doesn't have anything to do with the video.
"So that everyone can continue enjoying original content on YouTube".
Bull crap. Most people aren't enjoying YouTube. Youtube is going to hell in a hand basket. It shouldn't even be called "You"Tube anymore. More like "WMG"Tube or "My"Tube.
You're completely ruining a site that used to be great by removing every freaking song people decide to put in their videos.
That is fine with Audio Swap, but you just removed a song I got from Audio Swap. So maybe you should check the songs you put in Audio Swap for copyright....
well i mean, im happy your all trying so hard to make youtube better, but i just hate it that there just DELETING the hard made videos that people make. Or worse, deleting there accounts! :(
I'm Going to just repost my original thoughts on this, the fact you can have a video STILL play with the song muted is retarded.
Well yet again the Music Industry Asshats shoot themselve in the foot. You thing that after seeing several great songs taken down because of their greediness that I or any other smart person is going to buy ANY music from them again. They need to come up with a realistic way of protecting the artist AND the Fans! One is nothing without the other. Bye Bye Warner Music Group.
its so hard 2 make a video now.... cause every time i do it gets rejected... and i hafta use that crappy audioswap... that has the worst music ever... this is so annoying... Youtube has really gotten messed up... its so complicated to do anything now... i just want it bak to the way it was...
i was uploading a video the wind cries mary with lyrics. but that retarded wmg rejected it afteer one day. and they begged me to audioswap. ive uploaded videos with music before and then you didnt complain. i hate wmg. they even removed sound for the best lord of the rings parody ever: sagan om ändringen. i cried for 3 days.
My videos are created from World War II public domain videos, created by the US Government (using tax dollars) and obtained directly from the National Archives. WMG has no claim to that footage and the clips do NOT use any WMG music.
Yet, I received WMG complains on several of them.
That's ridiculous!
Looks to me like WMG is flailing in the wind, trying to claim ownership of anything and everything. Clearly a dinosaur of a company in its death throes.
Good riddance I say!
I would strongly suggest that we all stop purchasing or using any products published by WMG. The sooner this company folds up and goes away, the better for everyone.
I've had five videos made by myself and the four clips (that were honoured by other YouTubers with five stars, comments and more than a thousand visits) have been deleted - not just muted, entirely eliminated from my account without any prior notice!
I do not get the point with copyright - all video footage I obtained from official YouTube publishings and the corresponding audio track from my favourite artists' CDs standing on my shelf, for which I spend money!! It really does not make any sense to forbid the YouTube world to listen to Warner Music artists!
This procedure is embarrassing for WMG and ridiculous for all fans sharing their favourite artists' music via YouTube. I am afraid this will lead to the end of this video portal - what I find a pity! And I can only hope that a lot of people will prescind from purchasing any WMG product - to the detriment of Warner's artists! But apparently, those are the last this music group cares about!
All persons in charge - Please reverse your decision discussed here and allow further video sharing with all the ambition and inspiration YouTube initially stood for! Otherwise this entire community is redundant!
Fuck you, YouTube. You didn't follow your own guidelines. You removed the flash music video I spent weeks on and didn't send me a notice or even told me it was deleted due to copyright violations. I found out while trying to show someone my video. Screw you. It was a video dedicated to the artists and I am 100% sure they wouldn't mind it being made considering I sent them the video via MySpace to their band's profile with them commenting back how nice it was of me to spend the time (MY TIME) to make them a video and it was thoughtful. I don't recall them saying "SHIT. This kid made a video and it's against copyright laws! Contact YouTube! Ahhh!". The video had been up for a year now and you just now take it down. Wow... Thanks for the notice!
I won't upload any of my videos here until this issue is clear! I'm thinking about leaving YT and deleting all of my videos! Sorry, but making vids which are removed soon after uploading is frustrating! I try to find an alternative place for my videos. I won't give up my hobby because of this and because of WMG - I bought the music legal in the store!

Its very cool that Youtube is considering different methods for Youtubers to use music in their backgrounds. I would recommend a video with more information on this topic too. This way, those in the future that get their videos removed can view the video for more info. It would be great in the future if Youtube allowed a music track that can be added at Audioswap that doesnt remove the original sound but is an addition. Secondly, it would be a good idea to let the marketing staff talk to major record companies will early release songs and see if their songs can be used in our videos. Its a form of free advertisement. We could also have a choice of another song so when the time frame for that original song has ran out. They could pay to have this because every time a new song is being used, an icon for an Ad could be automatically applied. I also think its great and I have written Youtube about this but get the word out that certain artists are allowing certain songs to be used here. If the list was compiled and listed by genre that would also help and could be marketed as Artists Shared Music. Just a thought. ~Regards, Raven
ReplyDeletePart 2~ To add,--- record companies or new artists desire to get the music heard. Youtube could charge for this and Youtubers could use their music in their videos as well as a link that viewers could click on to buy the song. If you make it where the songs have a time constraint, example-3months,...then when the Youtuber goes to use this song, they ALSO have an option to add another song for when the time runs out. This gives the record companies opportunities to get their song out especially for new artists. ~Regards, Raven
ReplyDeleteJust stand up for fair use rights.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. It really means a lot to us users that you understand why we are upset about it. But you are right, it is all up to the record label. Hopefully in the future, major labels like UMG and Hollywood records can use this as free advertising. Maybe by putting an ad for the artist/label beside the video so they earn revenue from it.
ReplyDeleteso does this mean that if users used their copyrighted music, the artists could monetize it and earn from our videos (with ads going to the artist)? I'd be all for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the other option?
ReplyDeleteThis is Bull Shit. Youtube is making money off things the way they are and will keep doing so until they are shut down. The music and entertainment industry is rightfully angry because they can't sell what they own when people on youtube are giving their property away for free.
ReplyDeleteType in "Copyright infringement" and you will get 160,000 hits. Almost all are illegal. One site says "No copyright infringement intended. Columbia pictures owns the rights to these films. I upload them so people can watch the movies for free" You think the studios are not going to fight back?
With Youtube ignoring their own guidelines it is only a matter of time before the courts shut them down. Just like Napster.
By the way, I want to make it clear that I don't necessarily agree that they should be shut down, and coming to money agreements with the artists might be a step in the right direction, but unless they do more than just ignore the copyright abuse going on, they are going to have a tough legal fight on their hands. They have rules for their members, but you have to look hard to find them.
ReplyDeleteanother great addition to the site!
ReplyDeleteThat's silly that Warner isn't dealing with youtube anymore when on the news I read that universal has made MILLIONS doing it! I hope they change their minds!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are still a bit of misunderstandings with the Content ID Program. While I know that UMG often places advertising on videos that use their music, it still seems that quite a few of UMG's music gets blocked. Not even the music in AudioSwap is a sign of what music is ok to use, because I've heard that some videos have been blocked for using copyrighted music, but the track was available in AudioSwap.
ReplyDeletewhat about if the music owners don't have a youtube channel to show proof of copyright. i have some songs that i dont own in my videos but thats because i checked to see if the artist or company had a channel that could mark me for copyright material in my videos but they dont so....

ReplyDeleteI one features a certain band's music on one's video, doesn't one only HELP that certain band with exposure?

ReplyDeleteI just get permission from the label first. Easier.
ReplyDeleteI admire your efforts, but unless you're doing some kind of slideshow or "memories" type video, audioswap is completely useless.
ReplyDeleteWarner Music videos removed from YouTube
ReplyDeleteHello Dawn,I just read your article about Warner and Youtube and feel very disapointed.These videos are free addversitising for the artists.I paid over $250.00 to see the Rolling Stones for each ticket {X4}.How much money do these people want,are they really lacking that they have to charge for something that BOUNTY pays for?Or any other advertiser we see commersials for on T.V.Since they pay for the slot on the tele then they should pay for the slot on Youtube,hell its not like they a`int got it like that.And besides its the live shows where they make the real money,why should they make money when they are sitting in a lounge chair at some resort drinking a mai-tai.The video`s and audio`s are their advertising.
unfortunately, starving artists cant get by with the PENNIES they get as royalties from these BEHEMOTH corporations. greed has its own special life, residing in the hearts of ignorant business people who never feel hunger. rather than pay the performer, listeners are actually sending 95 percent of the purchase price to people who leech a living from the true artists. just like the old gangs of the past, studios are criminals and liars, protected by legions of leechy lawyers. if the perfomer isnt in front of me, i dont buy, listen or care about their message.
ReplyDeleteI hope those big companies will die soon, nobody needs them anymore.
ReplyDeleteBTW: LOL @ captainvideoblogger
It's Warner's lost! cd sales continue 2 fall. They need 2 embrace the internet.
ReplyDeleteSo if WMG is being this way, I need 4 them & their subsidies 2 be down IMMEDIATELY! They dont want us 2 use their music, then they shouldnt promote here either.
Good Luck
ReplyDeleteYouTube = YouSnob - just like Microsoft in its baddest day, you are just like them. Your attitude sucks, you have no customer service, and you think your shit don't stink - we'll it certainly does!
ReplyDeleteWarner Bros. is so effing' greedy
ReplyDeleteAgain, I don't want outube shut down, but it will be.
ReplyDeleteIt is not "good publicity" for them.
No, you are stealing their work. Youtube says "Broadcast yourself". Not others. If they want publicity, it is up to them to get it. Not you.
If a concert or TV show is "broadcast" then all of those involved get royalties. Look at the rules here. they are being ignored.
Here is an example:
Youtube user "goonietastic" ET is still for sale for $10. This guy is giving it away. That is why they are mad. He owes someone $400,000.
This is how you get new fans. I don't care if they take it off, just leave a name and a phone number. You got to know who to contact.
ReplyDeletego ahead .... you dumbass... power up the black market ..... geesh
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the music labels miss the point completely: This is fan-driven free advertising for them. It carries none of the fees(often quite substantial) it takes to get a video into rotation with MTV. It has a far bigger userbase. It creates a culture around the bands. That culture buys albums, tickets and swag.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest problems that the music industry faces today is that instead of getting their arms around the Internet, instead of thinking "How can we leverage this enthusiasm and this truly fan-based model" they are instead trying to wipe it out and sue the fans into the poor house.
These are not the brightest bulbs in God's chandelier.
I had recieved a notification from UMG over my use of their music (a song by Pavoratti) in one of my videos. Rather than take it down, they posted links to Itunes and Amazon for that song on my video's page.
ReplyDeleteTo Youtube or UMG
ReplyDeleteIt's still rather vague on what music is ok or not, one of my friends on Youtube recently had a video taken down with Shania Twain music in it despite the fact that Shania is Signed under UMG
I'm glad you got this headache to sort out rather than me. Slightly off-topic - but I saw the link to your YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Very interesting project. I guess you're going to be looking at the copyright issue from both sides of the fence.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas
One has to wonder why the music industry hates it customers so much.
ReplyDeleteObviously, they have a right to protect their IPs, but at the same time, the group that is hurt the most by this isn't youtube, its the customers and fans who want to express themselves and give free (FREE) advertising to music industry my using their music in the videos they create.
Some artists are signed to various labels in different countries. An artist might be signed to UMG in one country but also liscenced to WMG in another country hence why videos with content from other labels are being removed too.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think this action woll damage the image of WB.
ReplyDeleteThis disprofit will cost much more money than allow Youtube to show us the videos.
So, WB, great work! [/ironie]
One more black eye for the music industiry. It's a miracle that they still are able to see...

ReplyDeleteFuck Warner!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't beleave that a-ha's Take On Me video has been deleted. It had over 8 million views.Does Warner honestly beleave that this kind of behaviour will be positive for them and for the artists they represent ?
ReplyDeleteIn a world where recordlabel has become very selective in wich artists they chose to back up with their promotioanl machine, youtube is a positive thing for both artists, fans and yes recordlabels. Alot of free promotion wich is good for everyone.
If you are adding music to a video that you have made/created, your work can be pulled because of copyrights - I just check out tribe of noise and there are no copyright problems now or in the future the musicians want you to use it, it was created under a special creative commons license your work would never get pulled it is really worth a look
ReplyDeleteSo why is YouTube removing music owned by Warner Music Group from their own official channel as well as Universal and Several Official Band channels?
ReplyDeleteNot the best business move on youtubes part. Great Job on killing your site YT.
What a very frustrate notice!
ReplyDelete=D congratz Warner. You r fucked now.
ReplyDeleteDont you think its just free-advertising for the artists?! We are only posting videos here..the music is usually jsut a background sound; something to keep the film interesting. Its not like we are selling the music!
ReplyDeletefuck warner
ReplyDeleteFuck Warner!!
ReplyDeleteLinkin Park Rules!!
I think Youtube just shot themselves in the foot by playing hardball.
ReplyDeleteWarner, Sony BMG, EMI and Universal Music Group are in early phases of talks to have a separate music video service than YouTube, as the Google service is asking for more revenue share now.
This has been a long time coming. And, is part of the evolution of the video web.

ReplyDeleteWay to fuck the userbase in the ass, you greedy bastards.
I totally agree with you conman577
ReplyDeleteI used to think of youtube as an entity that stands for freedom and sharing of information. Now i can t even watch my fav clips when i go back in my home country. What s up with this "not available in your country" bullshit???? Since when???
youtube is not what it used to be.. all its got is the fact that its the biggest video database but since information flow is restricted it stands against the wave of globalization and what made it popular in the first place.
I m looking for a new place...
why the FUCK is youtube removing music from roadrunner records when they own it???? they have the copyright and everything!!!!!! Youtube just became shittier. Now i cant even watch my fav music vids because they deleted it. What bullshit this is.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how many idiots there are when it comes to copyright law. YT isn't the one being greedy. They have to pay a fucking licensing fee to keep our videos active. Warner Music Group decided to be a greedy bastard and demand more. When they didn't get the amount they wanted or liked, they pulled out working with YT. Silly, ignorant users! YT has long come out as being on OUR side where access to music and movies is concerned. If you lot of stupid people actually kept up with the news, you wouldn't leave such ridiculous, uninformed comments.
ReplyDeleteFuck You Youtube. XD
ReplyDeleteI'm just looking for a place to lodge a complaint about YouTube since they've so helpfully have broken links on their "contact us" page.
ReplyDeleteYouTube - why is it that every video I watch now has horrible ad layovers that block my video and that I can't easy close? I work in digital advertising so I get that you are selling some valuable real estate. But if you continue to ruin my user experience, this won't be a preferred site for me to visit anymore. IMPROVE YOUR AD LAYOVERS AND POP UPS!!!!! If you can't make sure that I have the option to easily close them, then remove them all together!!!!

Hey everyone, don't be mad at Youtube. They're doing the best they can to license music so we can watch. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the record companies *coughs*Warner Bros.*coughs* But oh well, there isn't much we can do.

HEY YOUTUBE! I USED AUDIOSWAP FOR MY REVERSE VIDEO!!! AND YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL SAYING THAT THE MUSIC WAS COPYRIGHTED!!! NOW LISTEN HERE! I USE THE AUDIO SWAP AND NOW YOU TOOK MY VIDEO DOWN! JUST BECAUSE IT WAS COPYRIGHTED WHEN I USED YOUR! AUDIOSWAP!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time we go surround the Warner Music headquarters with pitchforks, torches, and signs? =P
ReplyDeleteMakes me glad I use the royalty free stuff from Audionautix and Incompetech.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the point of Audioswap. If there's dialog in the original video you lose it. Not to mention the song most likely won't match.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a wise way to spend your venture capital.
You Tube tries to please everyone and gets no thanks from anyone.Warner is greedy and You Tube is footing the bill for all the whiny petty little users on this comment board calling You Tube names for the services You Tube gives the users for free.Internet society sucks.Thanks You Tube.Good luck with trying to please the ungrateful masses. It is and always will be a Thankless Job.
ReplyDeletethat sucks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the most popular searches are, but I'm assuming that music related videos are high up there. YouTube knows that by not having an agreement with WB, both parties are losing a lot of money. YouTube needs to act QUICK before these big music companies start creating their own versions of YouTube, which they certainly can and probably will do. Not everyone, especially music corporations wants to be employed by Google, but at the moment, that's the best option there is (smart move by Universal) considering YouTube is one of the biggest websites on earth. Eventually, I see ALL of Universal's videos going to Hulu.com once their contract with YT expires. YouTube should cash in when the time is right, which is NOW. As far as Audioswap, I find it to be a horrible system (as most YT users would agree). I think you need a better development team to work on things like that. Users try Audioswap only to find out it's a failure with extreme limitations. Obviously, the only way to track the music being used on billions of videos being uploaded is to develop an amazing program which will ID each video. That would probably take hundreds of millions of dollars or maybe even a billion to develop. On top of that, it's nearly impossible to develop because when a track is used behind a vlogging voice, it makes it harder to "scan" what song is being used. Too crazy!!!

ReplyDeleteUgh,
ReplyDeleteThis is a bad idea on Warner Music Group.I'm about to take my videos somewhere else without these greedy corps. like UMG and Song BMG now WMG its a bunch of bull.
The problem with audio swap is that it can only be used on videos that have no audio other than the original music. These songs should be available for download so they can have dialogue as well.
ReplyDeleteI loved sending the videos via email with those lovely , beautiful Holiday Cards you provided just like ecards. I guess they were only for the Holidays whereas their no longer there. Would you please consider bringing them back with cards applicable for year round , birthdays,weddings,anniversary's,congratulatory,gradution,get well, humorous , wildlife/nature scenery
ReplyDeleteetc.Currently I send ecards they have all the above ahh but it would be better to have the best of both worlds card and video !! Danka ! Happy Holidays !!
But not only YT is... but so is that damn Warner Bros.

ReplyDeleteYoutube is making an effort. As little as it is. To avoid lawsuits putting them out of business, like Napster.
ReplyDeleteThey will be sued out of business if they don't do a lot more to advertise and enforce their own guide lines. Has anyone read them? Can anyone find them?
They basically say BROADCAST YOURSELF. Not others or other peoples stuff. YOURSELF. Record something off the TV? You don't have the broadcast rights, can't use it. Sing or play a song YOU didn't write or was written after 1923? Sorry. It isn't yours. Record a public concert or performance with your camcorder? Illegal to "Broadcast" since it is copyrighted material. And movies and movie clips are the same.
Doesn't leave much left. The problem is, other broadcast medium pay the artist for the material that is given away here for nothing. This makes it impossible for the owner to sell it. Wanting to get paid for your work isn't being "greedy"
And this garbage about giving them "free publicity". If you own a car dealership and someone steals a car, they can't use the excuse, "I'm driving it around town, I'm giving you publicity" Same thing here.
I don't want youtube shut down, but if they don't find away monitor what's going on and compensate those who are being ripped off, then their days are numbered.
Go to the goonietastic site and see how blatant the violations are with nothing being done. These type of sites will kill YOUTUBE in the courts.
just ok
ReplyDeleteIs that why artists like Ysabellabrave got pulled from Youtube?
ReplyDeletepretty intresting what yall have to say

ReplyDeleteso far 8 videos were deleted due to Audio copyrights ,so frustrating .
ReplyDeletehow come youtube never adds any more metal songs im not saying the ones it has are dumb im just don't know why???
ReplyDeleteI had two emails concerning my videos, What I'm fustrated greatly about is that I emphasize that the artist(s) were owners of that song(s), but it didn't seem enough, now whoever marked dispute claims now have access to the number of viewers I get, or add advertisements on the video. I hate to say it but Youtube isn't that kind of place it use to be... Read the comments, if you REALLY care about what the users think...
ReplyDeleteNow I cannot more attend to the animation of wait and bleed???
ReplyDeletelol me too

If we credit somebody, it is ridiculous that they have the cheek to claim copyright issues.
ReplyDeleteAs I understood it, as long as you give full credit, it was fine, but no, you have to be difficult.
So far 7 videos were deleted due to Audio copyrights ,so frustrating .
ReplyDeleteone ridiculous thing that happened to a friend of mine: sb claimed their copyrights on one of his vid's songs.when my friend saw it and decided to swap the music and replace it with one you provide, he saw THE SAME song in your base of audioswaps as he got sued about.
ReplyDeleteYou don't add the disclaimer - you get sued by copyright owners. You add a one and you get pwned as well as becoming an easier target to being found.

ReplyDeleteSorry, the owners of the material don't want your "credit". They want to get paid for what THEY own. When you finish your shift at Burger King, and the boss says you won't get money, just credit for doing a good job at the french fry machine, you are going to be mad. The owners of the material you are stealing are mad.
Tasharules: "I miss the old youtube were you don't have to worry about content owners barging in and taking your videos away"
Taking YOUR videos away? It is the content owners material. YOU are stealing from them.
Unless the artist who are being ripped off start getting the royalties they are owed, and people stop putting unauthorized TV clips, Photos, movie clips , songs and videos of public performances then outube is on it's way to being sued out of existance.

I think audioswap needs more categories. I realize the songs are broke down by genres. It would be helpful if there is a mood category. For example: If someone is looking for a song pertaining sadness it would be easier to find. All you would have to do is click on the mood your looking for and it will give a list of songs.
ReplyDeleteThere is barely any decent hip-hop in the audioswap library... But it's OK, because less and less music is getting blocked now :)
ReplyDeleteMy issues with copyright laws go way beyond what is happening here at You Tube.
ReplyDeleteI have serious issues, for example, with record labels who feel the own the rights of a work ad infinitum. There are videos with music in them, music that was made 3-4 decades ago, that are being blocked by a 'copyright holder' even though they are no longer making the music available through commercial channels. The copyright laws need to be changed they stifle creativity and reduce who we are as a people to just a corporation's 'bottom line'. Our culture should not be held hostage like it is.
Contact you representatives in government and let them know that the copyright laws need to be changed...
YouTube knows that even though many people want to watch the Daily Show and South Park on YT, we can't, and so instead YT encourages users to develop quality content themselves, which we do. Just like with visual media, YT shouldn't be breaking its back to get permission from music studios for commercial music, but forming alliances with Creative Commons sites to encourage people to create and make available music content the same way it does for video content. I make sure all my music either has permission or CC licensing, and the added reward of discovering someone new that is just as good as a commercial artist adds to the satisfaction of making YT videos.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't think I will ever use audioswap. It is a nice first step of getting companies used to using the music, but the inability to put the sound in with the video soundtrack (ie - having the music as BGM to ambient sounds or conversation), and the inability to handle the file directly to beatmatch or edit a file as a music vid makes it unuseable. I hope that it is part of a longer term strategy to secure licensing to allow users to download and use music for the sole purpose of inclusion, with proper credit, in fully edited videos for YouTube.

musics are mostly part of youtube but oh well
ReplyDeleteIn a way I can understand what they're doing. But in another it seems absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps its because I'm frustrated my video was pulled featuring a incomplete audio track from Elvis. You know, that guy who's been dead for 30 years, so I doubt he cared enough to pull my video.
ReplyDeleteSo its obvious the record companies are just being greedy here. I mean, heaven forbid someone try to listen to a compressed, mono, incomplete, 40 year old Elvis song without paying! I know YouTube is trying to play ball to prevent being sued (and possibly shut down), but I hope this stupidity can end soon.
It's somewhat understandable when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteI found a very good look at the Louis Vuitton handbags

Screw you Warner. Why can't you just give use the right to put it has friggin background music. This sucks bad. I'm not gonna buy your CD's anymore if you can't even give me the right to use it as background music.
ReplyDeletei remember a time, before google buoght youtube when this was a place of freedom. we could post what we wanted with the contect we watned (no porn?nudity of course), but we could use all the resources we wanted for our creations. now, it a stepping stone trail across a lake of fire just to get a video that wont get pulled down, cause we looked at the screen wrong.
ReplyDeleteYoutube is making some serious mistakes, and we pay for it. Pray to the gods another site doesnt come around and cripple this sorry excuse of a site
Before, it was user content all over, now its riddled with corp/commercial garbage.
Youtube is on a downhill slope to EPIC FAIL. enjoy the ride down everyone, but dont expect any background music.
i didn't read the whole thing but why is everyone freaking out about so warner bros is taking away their music in audio swap they never had any rock music in it im happy about it cause their taking away all their none rock music its something to celebrate not be sad about rejoice fellow youtubers rejoice!!!
ReplyDeleteI have two movies of the same song, and one of them just go the boot from Warner Bros.
ReplyDeleteAnd the odd part is that the reason it took it down was use of a song, but the song I used WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONG
Wow I admit. I'm still a little confused. I need to study on this a bit more.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why you are unable to do a counter notification. My videos were sent to me from the music company, therefore I have the right to put up the video. I would understand if you couldn't verify the claims, but these were gained and cleared the right way.
ReplyDeleteSo, only WMG and UMG music is copyrighted, well at least now I know not to use those companies. However, I have used some music by UMG, and it is allowed, so they put ads on my video. Why cant WMG be like that?
ReplyDeleteNot cool man. AMVs with the background music promote the song. >:(
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that You Tube should be putting more effort in shutting down some of these "trolling" and "clone" accounts, that are growing in numbers like weeds lately. This is supposed to be a video sharing site. However, there are many accounts set up by individuals whose sole purpose is for nothing else but to post hate, insults, grossouts, and (excuse the expression) overall shit slinging. I know of several individuals who had videos removed for this new music policy which had been up for over a year and were quality productions. I understand from some people trying to upload new clips that they expereienced frustration excessive time in getting the video to eventually post. The reasoning behind this whole issue is both confusing and unecessary. Your management should be more focused on increasing the financial bottom line. Irratating and discoraging people is not the way to do it.
ReplyDeleteI know people say that the artist owns the song, and should get payed for making it, and I totally agree, but we did buy the music in the first place so I think we have the right to use it.
ReplyDeleteYoutube sirs, I think you should talk with the (excuse the expression) morons of Warner Music to let us put really good AMV's with great songs in your site.
ReplyDeleteI think that AMV's are a free mode to promote a song, because they don't spend money in any videos, the fans make the videos putting their favorite songs in the videos.
I think Warner and the other morons of the Music Recording Industries must be more worried about the piracy in countries like Mexico, not in AMV's that only promote "their products". (Note: I'm from Mexico, so I can assure that.)
It's sad to see how things work there in U.S. the only thing you think of is money.
I realize this may not be a realistic option, and I'm just one voice
ReplyDeletehere, but I would think some vid posters would be willing to pay a
nominal, one-time fee for the 'right' to post a vid with copyright
material in it. I wonder if this has ever been proposed as an
option?
Why is Youtube refusing to allow users to file a DMCA counter claim for the music that has been removed? In some cases, the music was only playing in the background as someone was talking or dancing. In others only a short snippet (25 sec) or less was being used. Both are examples of fair use claims which all citizens have the right to assert.
ReplyDeleteHow does Youtube justify their failure to apply with the DMCA counter notice provisions? Is this going to be another example where the user base is going to sue Youtube to get them back into compliance with federal law?
F**k you to infinity, Warner. You were the one who claimed that goddamn song, Numb/Encore in my New Stepmania HD vid?
ReplyDeleteWhy the f**k would you do that? You're just selfish, scumbags. Stepmania is a music game, like ddr, and no music defeats the purpose.
why the Hell is warnermusicgroup taking away all roadrunnerrecords videos they were fine with them having some of their videos before i want to listen slipknots songs and other peoples songs to

ReplyDeleteon my new video,witer 2008:beach bumz and jackasses, i was actually doing a particular song a favor. the song: you only get what you give has not even been heard by most people. AND I ONLY USED IT FOR THE END CREDITS! TIME WARNER YOU AND YOUR COMPANY ARE A SHAM! WHEN WILL U REALIZE THAT NO ONE LIKES YOU! JUST LIKE THE WRITERS STRIKE THAT YOU CREATED A YOUTUBE STRIKE WILL BE CREATED TOO! when people realize that any song they put up ,or any movie for that matter, will automatically be muted, more and more people will leave youtube and start looking for other more reasonable video uploading sites like google video or another place. Youtube be warned, if you continue to let Warner Music do this your site will continue to lose popularity and eventually vanish!

Fucking hell. Why do so many artists have to be so overdramatic about the use of their work? They're advertising your song, for one thing. For another, most programmers (including me) release the stuff they make for reuse, usually under very non restrictive terms. Music companies, however, shit their pants if someone has one of their songs as background music.
ReplyDeleteYoutube seems to be perfectly fine with letting assholes flame other assholes, though. Has anyone on "The YouTube Team" ever read any of the text comments in a popular video? They're full of twits insulting other twits about meaningless things. Why don't you do something about that?
great news
ReplyDeleteIf they want to kill the golden goose....go for it. But what I don't like is when someone, lets use shinedown as an example, puts up their music and a third party complains.... there is a problem....
ReplyDeleteI wanted to use a bit of copyright music as background for a short film to run on Youtube. I didn't realise at that point that a deal had been done with the PRS and contacted them myself offering to pay a licence fee. To put it mildly, they were a bit surprised I offered and had no mechanism for allowing that to happen.

ReplyDeletethis is gay now if u wnt to put ur favorit song with ur video u cant because of the dumb ass copy right issue so i am guess that youtube will dive down cuz no one will want to put there videos up becasue there wont be any sound so i say dont do that it is just gay and most likely 90% of the music has been already bought soo really they already have the copyright thing but yea this is very GAAAAAYYYYY!!!
ReplyDeleteMy only gripe about audio swap is it replaces the sound for your entire vid, if there was a way to only put the song in select parts of your vid that would be much better (Like the notations)
ReplyDeleteCopy and paste this if you agree, then there will be a better chance this is read.
Cheers!
ive had over 200 vids that have been removed cause of this...
ReplyDeleteI think Warner Music needs to consider the peripheral money making aspects to allowing Youtube users to use their artist's music. Please think laterally and not just a straight line down to the bottom line on their Youtube account balance sheet. Just think of some clips that have taken a back water song and made it a top 10 hit - there are a few that Youtube and it's uploaders can take credit for. Anyway I'm sure it will all be resolved soon - as Youtube is really the market leader by a long shot....a very long shot. They are an equal, if not a greater power than Warner Music - so let the strings loosen Warner please! Pretty please....
ReplyDeleteThe trouble with the music company(s) is not good for all, i can't understand the company(s) but i can't understand you YOU TUBE Team,a many users making very goods videos from their favo bands,the company(s)should be happy with ANY free advertising but they delete the videos and then you comes YOU TUBE and suspended the account,give your users a chance....
ReplyDeleteThe trouble I have believing this, is the fact that in experiences I've become aware of, (friends griping, my own, ect) is that there is NO warning before the video is taken down, any more. It is just pulled, and often times the maker is even unaware that it is gone for a period of time.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it make a difference if we put in a detailed Disclaimer?
Well yet again the Music Industry Asshats shoot themselve in the foot. You thing that after seeing several great songs taken down because of their greediness that I or any other smart person is going to buy ANY music from them again. They need to come up with a realistic way of protecting the artist AND the Fans! One is nothing without the other. Bye Bye Warner Music Group.
ReplyDeleteYou know,everytime I listen to Linkin Park or any WMG song,i always think of this and feel like,"why am i listening to this?" if WMG will not allow any LP songs on YT,then i might just stop listneing to LP songs
ReplyDeletedamn Google is killing YouTube
ReplyDeleteuse audio swap for shitty songs no one likes, god idea!
ReplyDeleteAll good Songs are copyrighted by WMG, UMG, Sony/BMG and other.
ReplyDeletecomment below says it too
how do u get better audio swap songs? Cause all of them suck
ReplyDeleteIt took me a week to finish a video I wanted to make for a long time. I worked really hard on it because I wanted to enter a contest here in youtube. It was EXTREMELY frustrating to find out that my video was taken down because of copyright infringement, I wish the audioswap option would work, but it just doesn't.... it is not the same creation. I understand that WMG is probably losing business because of YT, but they should understand that YT has grown significantly to be causing any kind of problems to its users.
ReplyDeletefirst of all audioswap is the dumbest idea ever. videos created around a song are ruined because the songs in the library don't fit the video both in length and meaning. i spent a lot of time making a video that i was proud of and i go to put it on youtube and guess what, no audio because the song is owned by WMG. do they not realize that when viewers like songs they go and buy them on itunes. that equals more money for them, but they can't see that because heads are stuck up their asses.
ReplyDeleteI'm switching to Vimeo.
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be WMG to be taken off, or will it still be taken off if its something like RCA records?
ReplyDeleteI'll be switching to Vimeo, this is absolutely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYouTube, don't be surprised when you see YouTube fail because of this. YOUTUBE SUCKS NOW AND IF THIS ISNT FIX IN A YEAR I AM LEAVING YOUTUBE!
ReplyDeletei don't get it we don't make monney on it so why is it blocked
ReplyDeleteboycott WMG! buy nothing from them ever
ReplyDeleteMy only gripe about audio swap is it replaces the sound for your entire vid, if there was a way to only put the song in select parts of your vid that would be much better (Like the notations) Copy and paste this if you agree, then there will be a better chance this is read. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThis sucks a lot.
ReplyDeleteAs some people already said, what's the problem of putting up some commercial songs in Fan Videos? I made up a video about a game and I used some WMG songs, with due credit to the bands on the end of the video... So I'm kinda advertising for those songs and making them more popular. So if I ain't selling shit or making any commercial use of the video, exactly on the opposite, I'm advertising for that band/song, what's the problem of using it?
Jesus Christ, solve this problem already, or Youtube will be going down the shithole.
in my opinion the music company wont earn any money without "youtube" cuz youtube is one of the most favourite Web-Site, which most young ppls/teenagers and adults... are visiting and youtube is making a good promotion for the music company... so if they wanna check how is it that the music vids of them are gone from youtube so just test it but i dont think so that they would earn more money cuz youtube dont got the lisence for the music videos anymore...
ReplyDeletei am really really pissed with that, already 3 of my videos were pulled and two more "mute". (not on that account) i hate wmg, i really do. fck them
ReplyDelete...Are these YouTube retards even reading the comments of this many pissed-off people to actually do something about this? I'm certainly not about to spend a week or more putting effort into making a video to upload on this shit and fuck site, only to have the audio muted or the video removed afterwards. YouTube you idiotic jerks, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR YOU'LL LOSE AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF USERS!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot-So-Sincerely, EternalLunar, a soon-to-leave User of YouTube...
I think it's stupid how if you put a lot of effort into a video and use 30 seconds of a song the video gets pulled. This is dumb, because it's actually your original creation, and should not be removed just because there is 30 or more seconds of the audio.
ReplyDeleteI have a good site for everyone here: imeem.com, great media site.
ReplyDeleteHow is taking down some videos while leaving others up with the same audio file "fair"?
ReplyDeleteI disagree
ReplyDeleteYouTube should let us upload a new track from our computers instead of audioswap of muting the video.
ReplyDeleteChaoswarloch , Yt claims that no matter how many other vids with the same song are left, it's completely ok to them to pull down one certain vid which they set their eye on.
ReplyDeleteto Yt: why are you pulling down the vids with songs that already ARE in audioswaps?I mean one vid with seether song. It's already in audioswaps section BUT the uploader got the music muted , moreover , she can't even swap the music.
Yeah, I know it is completely ok to from a business standpoint. They own the website, so they should get to choose what they want on there and what they don't want. But from a moral standpoint, it is low of them to just remove some and not give equal treatment to different people.
ReplyDeleteThis WMG copyright crap has gotten WAAAAAY out of hand. They don't own every song in the world. Copyrighted by WMG my butt. It's an utter outrage. I can't upload a simple video of a performance I credit the band for. This was a video SPECIFICALLY MADE for the song, so I couldn't use audioswap. Get out of Youtube, WMG!
ReplyDeleteIt makes no sense. And YouTube is getting out of control with this. Some of my videos got removed and never had content mentioned in my email.
ReplyDeleteAudioswap is terrible!
ReplyDeleteMy clip "Mr. Bojangles" by Jerry Jeff Walker is taken from our "owned video", "The Arlo Guthrie Show." We have the rights to this show. However, from what I understand, WMG, just bought the publishing. What a shame, I don't think Jerry Jeff is going to like this. He had 85,000 views. I hope this problem can be resolved.
ReplyDeleteWmg removed the videos of MEGADETH'S OFFICIAL FUCKING CHANNEL because they claimed it belonged to THEM! WMG ARE MONEY WHORES!!! Newsflash, WMG, Megadeth's music belongs to CAPITAL RECORDS, NOT YOU!
ReplyDeleteFuck WMG!
ReplyDeleteaudio Swap Sucks , Who wants that fu**ing crap!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny how YT blocks this comment and makes me unable to post my opinion of this.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YT.
YES, SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS. VIACOM AND WMG SEE YOUTUBE AS $$$ AND WANT TO MILK OUT THE CASH.
bullshit
ReplyDeleteOh my god...I want to get back to making music videos.
ReplyDeleteI have received two notices about WMG content.. and that's after choosing the audio tracks via the AudioSwap "pre-approved" library of licensed music... hmmmmm????
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm reading or doing homework or w/e I listen to music via youtube. I don't wanna buy every song I just wanna hear once. So I don't get it, does WMG WANT us to use limewire?...
ReplyDeleteWe own a record company and a publishing company. We encourage people to use our songs. It's "free" promotion!
ReplyDeleteIt's great for our artists as well as our record company. And it's a lot of fun for all!
So, YT, Google & WMG, I hope your reading all these comments.
fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag fag
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the audioswap would be great if it actually had good music. Most of us make our videos to go with the original songs we use. It looks pretty stupid when you replace the audio with something that doesn't have anything to do with the video.
ReplyDelete"So that everyone can continue enjoying original content on YouTube".
Bull crap. Most people aren't enjoying YouTube. Youtube is going to hell in a hand basket. It shouldn't even be called "You"Tube anymore. More like "WMG"Tube or "My"Tube.
You're completely ruining a site that used to be great by removing every freaking song people decide to put in their videos.
That is fine with Audio Swap, but you just removed a song I got from Audio Swap. So maybe you should check the songs you put in Audio Swap for copyright....
ReplyDeletewell i mean, im happy your all trying so hard to make youtube better, but i just hate it that there just DELETING the hard made videos that people make. Or worse, deleting there accounts! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm Going to just repost my original thoughts on this, the fact you can have a video STILL play with the song muted is retarded.
ReplyDeleteWell yet again the Music Industry Asshats shoot themselve in the foot. You thing that after seeing several great songs taken down because of their greediness that I or any other smart person is going to buy ANY music from them again. They need to come up with a realistic way of protecting the artist AND the Fans! One is nothing without the other. Bye Bye Warner Music Group.
its so hard 2 make a video now.... cause every time i do it gets rejected... and i hafta use that crappy audioswap... that has the worst music ever... this is so annoying... Youtube has really gotten messed up... its so complicated to do anything now... i just want it bak to the way it was...
ReplyDeletei was uploading a video the wind cries mary with lyrics. but that retarded wmg rejected it afteer one day. and they begged me to audioswap. ive uploaded videos with music before and then you didnt complain. i hate wmg. they even removed sound for the best lord of the rings parody ever: sagan om ändringen. i cried for 3 days.
ReplyDeleteMy videos are created from World War II public domain videos, created by the US Government (using tax dollars) and obtained directly from the National Archives. WMG has no claim to that footage and the clips do NOT use any WMG music.
ReplyDeleteYet, I received WMG complains on several of them.
That's ridiculous!
Looks to me like WMG is flailing in the wind, trying to claim ownership of anything and everything. Clearly a dinosaur of a company in its death throes.
Good riddance I say!
I would strongly suggest that we all stop purchasing or using any products published by WMG. The sooner this company folds up and goes away, the better for everyone.
WMG SUCKS
ReplyDeleteI've had five videos made by myself and the four clips (that were honoured by other YouTubers with five stars, comments and more than a thousand visits) have been deleted - not just muted, entirely eliminated from my account without any prior notice!
ReplyDeleteI do not get the point with copyright - all video footage I obtained from official YouTube publishings and the corresponding audio track from my favourite artists' CDs standing on my shelf, for which I spend money!! It really does not make any sense to forbid the YouTube world to listen to Warner Music artists!
This procedure is embarrassing for WMG and ridiculous for all fans sharing their favourite artists' music via YouTube. I am afraid this will lead to the end of this video portal - what I find a pity! And I can only hope that a lot of people will prescind from purchasing any WMG product - to the detriment of Warner's artists! But apparently, those are the last this music group cares about!
All persons in charge - Please reverse your decision discussed here and allow further video sharing with all the ambition and inspiration YouTube initially stood for! Otherwise this entire community is redundant!
Many thanks in advance!
Fuck you, YouTube. You didn't follow your own guidelines. You removed the flash music video I spent weeks on and didn't send me a notice or even told me it was deleted due to copyright violations. I found out while trying to show someone my video. Screw you. It was a video dedicated to the artists and I am 100% sure they wouldn't mind it being made considering I sent them the video via MySpace to their band's profile with them commenting back how nice it was of me to spend the time (MY TIME) to make them a video and it was thoughtful. I don't recall them saying "SHIT. This kid made a video and it's against copyright laws! Contact YouTube! Ahhh!". The video had been up for a year now and you just now take it down. Wow... Thanks for the notice!
ReplyDeleteI won't upload any of my videos here until this issue is clear! I'm thinking about leaving YT and deleting all of my videos! Sorry, but making vids which are removed soon after uploading is frustrating! I try to find an alternative place for my videos. I won't give up my hobby because of this and because of WMG - I bought the music legal in the store!
ReplyDeleteanyone know of another site similar to youtube that is any good?
