YouTube videos

[Spirits High]

I've started to put short videos of gigs up on Youtube.

Last few weeks no problems but the last 3 I've put up have all been flagged a "content" licence problem. 2 of them it doesn't really affect as they've just put ads along the bottom but on the one I uploaded yesterday the complete soundtrack has been muted :eek:

Is there a way around this as it's pretty pointless having a silent movie :D

You can swap the soundtrack with something that they provide.

You can swap the soundtrack with something that they provide.

Or put them on your website instead.

:D

Yea, I'd seen that probably the best bet. Just annoying as the other videos are fine, maybe Youtube are just tightening up on things :(

:D

I'm sure Marc would be pleased with that!

Yep - don't post copyrighted material :P

If it's not copyrighted material, appeal the censorship and it'll be restored.

Thank you Martin :p

Apparently is because the track is Sonys :( :(

Someone said to me use Vimeo instead

As Martin said, noticed more and videos Im looking at the moment are either silent or start off by saying "this is the third time ive posted this video" :)

If its popular Disco Music I assume there is a copyright problem :eek:

If its just good ole Yee-haw Music like mine no problem I have about 30 on You Tube and they all play ok far as I know.

Mind you 9 to 5 is on there, Achy Breaky Heart and Let your Love Flow so maybe this is a new thing:confused:

Even if you have it put on your site it will still be technically illegal---just no one will do anything about it most likely as its YOUR site.

I keep wondering when someone is going to catch up with SoundCloud. Talk about copyright issues...???

And the usual course of action would be a complaint from the rights holder direct to your ISP.

The first you know about it is when your site disappears :eek:

Then begins the uphill battle trying to get it back online.


Not condoning it, but I'd always put customer video clips behind password protection. Stops casual viewings. LM licence and produb I considered to be 'reasonable steps' to ensure copyright compliance.

Use JW FLV Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/), serving content from either Bits On The Run (http://www.bitsontherun.com/) or Amazon S3 (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/).



Or put them on your website instead.

:D

I'm sure Marc would be pleased with that!

Makes no difference to me. Doing it the way I I've mentioned above means the content is on 3rd party servers, not mine. BOTR and Amazon are cheaper for bandwidth, too, which is the main reason I recommend using them when serving video content. A few HD clips can eat up bandwidth very quickly....

Again, doing it through a 3rd party should keep you safe....the video content is elsewhere so the most that would happen is it is removed from those servers at the request of the copyright holder. Your site would still function, but the videos wouldn't work. I certainly wouldn't pull a site for such an issue (and neither would my upstream provider).

EDIT: Paul, will this post do intead of a reply to your email earleir today? :) The only question I haven't answered is "would it be easy to do?"....that's a yes :)

It will do!

I'll have a look at the flv player and BOTR and let you know ;)

That is correct.

You can also buy or compose Royalty free music, being "royalty free", the Youtube copyright system wont detect it, nor will it be prohibited.

Ebay - Royalty Free Music (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=royalty+free+music&_sacat=See-All-Categories)

You should really have a commercial license for the player, but don't buy one through their site - I have a bulk license and could save you some money.

Is there a limited use licence that can be purchased for legally using a tack on a website hosted video? I know you can get them relatively cheap for using on a DVD etc, but I don't know if one can be purchased for single track use on a website.
