It may seem that these two concepts refer to the same process, but this is not the case. The thing is, a Copyright Claim is just a warning that your video contains material that infringes on someone else’s content rights. Very often this happens if you use unlicensed music or don’t have an agreement with its author. The same goes for not only music, but videos as well. If you’re working with compilations and large amounts of material that you take from public sources, be prepared for the fact that you may run into copyright issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way, Mediacube partners get free access to Content ID<\/a><\/span>, so your content will be well protected if you decide to become our creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most importantly, the video that received a complaint is not deleted and remains available<\/strong>.

These kinds of notifications mostly come automatically thanks to the Content ID <\/strong>system<\/a><\/span>. It processes all the videos just posted and compares them to its database of digital fingerprints. If the YouTube algorithm detects a match, it will let you know right away. In fact, the program is already so well-trained that it can read a tune even if you just sing it in your video and give you a warning for it, so be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Happens if You Get a Copyright Claim <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
