About YouTube copyright claim

As a music creator or content creator, you should pay attention to copyright issues when publishing your work on YouTube. In particular, using someone else s work without permission may result in a copyright claim. We will explain in detail how to deal with this situation and the next steps in music distribution.

Flow of YouTube copyright claim

First, if a copyright claim is filed, the person who holds the rights to the work will send YouTube a formal notice, which will include specific reasons for claiming that infringement has occurred.

1. When YouTube receives the complaint, a notification will be sent to the person who posted the video.
2. Upon receiving the notification, the author must take action within the specified period. This can include removing the video, editing the problematic part, or opposing it.
3. If an objection is made, YouTube will review it and make a final decision after hearing the opinions of both the rights holder and the content contributor.
