In this thread you can post your warnings on fandoms or artists that are likely to be deleted, muted or blocked for certain countries on Youtube.

Some information first on how you can avoid copyright troubles (no guarantee though that it'll work!):

FANDOMS: Sometimes it helps mirroring the footage of a "risky" fandom and adjusting your video description a little, for instance writing "GIee" instead of "Glee". It'll look the same with the font they use on YT (Thanks to Brooke for those ideas! )

ARTISTS: Often it helps to pitch the song before uploading your vid to YT. It may not be recognized as the original song anymore and your vid won't be deleted, blocked or muted. (Thank you, Eryn! )

Sometimes the "dispute claim"-option on Youtube can help unblocking your videos.

Here's a great description on how to do it: (Thank you, Nikki! )

Good idea for a thread!

Last I checked Taylor Swift music is a big no. It works if you shift the pitch, but otherwise it'll probably get deleted.

[KajaM]

Thank you, hon!

And good point about the pitching. I'll add that!

[rbexter93]

Obviously there's Glee which seems to be a HUGE no no on youtube.

I get alot of notifications that the content belongs to somebody else but mainly no action is taken. Alot of my videos seem to get banned in Germany however, I can hunt down the specific vids if you'd like.

This is a great idea by the way!

[Belle MacFarlane]

I think on the OP we should include ways to get around the copyright? For Taylor Swift you just pitch shift the song. Glee songs are okay, for the footage you mirror it and, an an extra safety precaution, if you're writing Glee in your description, write GIee instead - with the font they use on YT, Glee and GIee look exactly the same

[Polarbear]

I'm pretty sure that fair usage means if you only used a short amount of clips chances are then it should be okay to dispute the claim.

[Aislynn]

Oh my, I'll have to check my YT account to get all of the names but pretty much every vid I have on there has a warning of some sort that it's being muted/blocked somewhere. What sucks is that I had a whole bunch of new warnings come up on some of my oldest vids recently!

It seems like music rights get transferred around a LOT so a song or artist that might be fine one day, suddenly will get muted/deleted or a strike against your account the next day! Though it seems that it's the video footage that will cause you to lose your account the quickest. Anything owned by 20th Century Fox will usually get deleted and earn you a strike for every vid you have up that they owned (and as we all know, 3 strikes and you're out ).

Even though you still see a lot of X-Men vids (both original movies and X-Men: First Class) on Youtube, I know of several vidders who've lost their accounts once 20th Century Fox caught them for their X-Men vids.

20th Century Fox also holds the rights to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly/Serenity and I know they'll get blocked if they catch you.

Oh, one music artist I know that gets blocked worldwide is Right Said Fred. I was surprised that "I'm Too Sexy" still gets that sort of copyright vigilance considering how old the song is!

Anyway, great idea for a thread, Karolina! It's so frustrating to not have any idea what shows/movies/songs are going to activate the copyright police at YT. And since things can change on a dime, there's no guarantee that what's okay today will get you muted/blocked/a strike tomorrow. But all we can do is try to help each other!

[Brooke]

WMG is cracking down again I think. Everything I submit a vid it's always copyrighted.

I just dispute it and most the time it works. I use 'Free use' because of the whole 'art' thing.

[nikkimonique]

I dispute everything too and almost always works. I'm surprised I haven't gotten any warnings on my Bones vids since its on Fox. Time will tell.

[Brooke]

That is surprising. I stopped putting anything Fox related in my taglines.

I am surprised I am still in good standing. Knock on wood.

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

I've noticed that almost anything using Barenaked Ladies music gets blocked/muted.I've gotten to where if I plan on using a song by them then posting it on Youtube seems a waste of time.Also James Blunt music is kind of a 50/50, I had one vid featuring a song by him that youtube initially blocked but later posted and another it posted right away. Nickelback is kind of iffy too.

Most of my vids have some kind of copyright claim on them I usually just ignore them and try to make sure I at least have my Mediafire links posted along with my vids.

This is a great idea to compile some of the problematic songs/artists/tv or movies.

[Uruviel]

This is a great idea! With all the different fandoms being vidded now, it's good to know what shows/movies will get a vid blocked.

As for music, nearly all my vids on YT have some kind of copyright claim, most of them are either "no action taken" or an ad is placed on the page. No prob there! I have had a TON muted though, I'll have to check through my account to see which ones. The only band I can think of right now is the Goo Goo Dolls.

[KajaM]

Thank you all for your input!

I guess I have to adjust the list into artists where the vids are completely deleted or muted - or where there is a copyright info but no actions have to be taken - or where there is a copyright warning for certain countries.

What do you think?

Also, I think it would be great if you could post the vids where mirroring the clips or pitching the song DID help to get around the copyright thing.

Thank you all so much!

[KajaM]

Oh, and I've never tried to use that "dispute" thing on YT. Could someone write a short explanation how it works and for which type of copyright issues?

That'd be great. I could add it to the list of ideas and suggestions at the very top of this thread.

[Uruviel]

Here are the only other artists that I know of that were muted: Avenged Sevenfold & INXS (not all songs though).

Here are the ones that got notifications but are still up (spoilered cause the list is long):

After seeing this I don't know of any vids I have that didn't get notifications, lol. Actually, as I looked over my YT account again, there are a few vids by the same artist, even the same CD, where 1 vid got a notification & the other didn't.

Karolina, I've never done the "dispute" thing either.
