Zaul Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 2 Questions - If I use OC Remixes in a Youtube Video ( Not for Profit ) Will they get taken down or classed as copy-write, even though they aren't the original songs? If I use Oc Remixes in a Youtube Video and It got famous enough that Youtube put advertisements on my page and I was making money would it be classed as making money off copy-write material? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Short answer: if it ain't your material, you shouldn't make money off of it. Someone else will be providing you with a long answer shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calpis Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 As far as I know, YouTube doesn't automatically put ads on your page. In fact, to get those ads on, you have to go through and manually set up a Google AdSense account and link it up and tell it which video(s) specifically you want to put ads on. Sure, YouTube will email you and let you know when a video is available to put ads on, but I don't think they'll automatically just start putting ads on videos once they hit a certain view count.

Thanks 1. You can use them in non-profit situations as long as you credit them. 2. You are not allowed to use them anywhere to directly or indirectly make profit from them. Technically speaking, you would have to pay royalties to the original copyright holder in order to do that I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 "Copyright." Copy-write refers to writing copy, as in advertisements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, YouTube will email you and let you know when a video is available to put ads on, but I don't think they'll automatically just start putting ads on videos once they hit a certain view count. In addition they will ask you at least twice if everything that is in the video, including music and video content, is yours and that you own the rights to the content. As you don't own the rights to OC ReMix songs that aren't your own you shouldn't be using such a video to generate advertising revenue.
