YouTube: The first rule of copyright

Posted on 18 February 2024 02:04 pm

Please be advised that the utilization of copyrighted music on YouTube does not allow for the usage of a creator's work without their explicit consent. Merely giving credit or adding links to the original song does not grant you the permission to use the content. Copyright law is strict and clear in this regard, and it is essential to respect the rights and intellectual property of the author.

We have noticed several albums from our catalog have been placed on your channel without our authorization. This is a clear breach of the YouTube Creator Agreement and constitutes a violation of our copyright.

Creators should only upload videos that they have made or that they're authorized to use. That means they should not upload videos they didn't make, or use content in their videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations.
