YouTube Copyright, am I the only one?

Just curious here.
There are TONS of YouTube Videos for osu!, TONS.
Yet, almost all of my videos have been hit for copyright for one reason or another.
Most of my videos are not available in the most random of countries.

Today I logged on and I had an actual strike on my YouTube account for one of my videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNtNuqTgIX8

The video was uploaded July 2011, more than a year ago!
It only had 82 views, most of them just friends. It wasn't even popular enough to be "noticed".

A very large amount of songs for osu! use copyrighted songs, so this seems pretty unavoidable.
Is there anything I can/should do about it? Maybe I should upload to another website from now on?
Would be really annoying to get my YouTube account deleted for uploading osu! videos. >_> [It's 3-strike system, I have 1 strike.]

Usually stuff like anime OPs, Pop music, etc that most likely have claims on them will do this.

Easy way is to just upload stuff like vocaloid, instrumentals etc where there are no copyrights or their creators don't mind/aren't aware.

I have a strike too because of a osu! video :/ Found myself unable to do some Google+ Hangout thing because my account wasn't in good standing :(

Does this work? I thought copyright prohibited any kind of re-creation as well, "in whole or part", which would mean hitsounds wouldn't help at all.

Yes, that happens when YT scans your audiotrack and detects its analogy to the one of a copyrighted song. It doesn't even matter if the vid's popular or not.

I once tried uploading a replay vid of some anime opening, and the audiotrack was removed instantly after the upload.

That should get you through.

Well it gets most of my football related vids through.

is that why none of my videos are blocked? like actually, that actually makes some sense. Either I dt something or it's just some random stuff people don't pay attention to.

It's not just anime ops sometimes it's really random stuff. received warning for that dragon palace caravan thing but without an actual penalty :o

also uploaded a map video for an odaxelagnia song once and he found it and wrote in the comments that he doesn't like the fact it's uploaded on an account other than his, so I said I respect his opinion and took the video down. No involvement from youtube. owo
no clue how he even found it. youtube is mysterious

how awesome would it be if osu had people who are at the same time top tier players, music-composers and mappers as well. all of them cool maps would spawn

I've gotten 3 accounts disabled, so no, it's not just you.

Just be careful about what you upload, only the artists under bigger labels like EMI, Sony and Universal and just generally popular shit are likely to get takedowns.

And the Matched third-party content./Video blocked in some countries. thing is completely automatic and requires no-one to watch the video, read more on the content ID system here

Thats bit different.

If you get a takedown notice from a company (not the content ID system) directly, you will get a strike, unless you can actually dispute it and counterclaim it with reasonable explanations (which is near impossible with osu! videos as they hardly fall under the fair use clause of the DMCA).

Weird, I've made a few videos of JPop Rock Band custom charts and I've never gotten copyright issues. The only videos I've got a notice on are Roar (GSL OP) and Lion (Macross OP); nothing happened to Lion and the only thing that happened to Roar was that it got blocked in Germany. I even put the actual song mp3s directly over the videos and YT only complained on those two occasions, and I've yet to get anything taken down.

Anyway, the Fair Use clause should be able to get you through any copyright claims (unless you are somehow making money off of them). You should be able to contest a claim put on a video.

I'm actually odaxelagnia, that's why I mapped that song

jk


I'm kind of surprised you were asked to take that down though, usually independent artists don't care one bit
