I'm a tad confused on the subject. It's probably been asked a million times but i typed "monetising" into the forum search a nothing came up. Google searching has turned up a firm "NO" on monetising remixes, but these appear to be for mashup style mixes that use original audio. It even mentions "original audio" in the YouTube policies. But what about OC style mixes? If i create a track based upon an existing track but use none of the original audio and i alter the melodies, structure, key etc? The OCR FAQ's state: "Basically, as long as you do NOT make any profit directly from its usage AND you credit both the artists and http://ocremix.org for each track used, the answer is YES, you have our blanket permission to freely use OC ReMixes. In those specific circumstances, that also means you do not need to contact us to formally ask. However, if OC ReMixes themselves are monetized, being sold in any context, or you're generating revenue from ads while hosting OC ReMixes, the answer is NO. In those instances, we recommend getting individual permission from each artist." From what i can tell this is referring to the remixer as the artist, yes? So as long as you get permission from the remixer then you can monetise the video the track is used in? Where does the original composer come into this? I'd love to be able to monetise my original mixes, but i'm feeling like this is sounding to good to be true...
