The last thing you want when sharing an awesome video is a pesky copyright notification. Learn where to find music for YouTube<\/a> videos without copyright problems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture the scene: you’ve carefully recorded your footage, spent hours painstakingly editing to perfection. You’ve come up with the best title for your video<\/a>, and optimised the flip out of things during the upload process. Everything’s looking amazing, it’s the best YouTube video you’ve ever created. The video is published, ready for the public to feast their eyes on your latest work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you get hit with a copyright notification. Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be sat feeling frustrated and wondering why this happened. You either aren’t sure what triggers these sorts of notifications, or you thought you’d found audio that wouldn’t cause this to happen. Let’s break down what could be going on here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright Claims & Strikes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will receive and copyright claim<\/a> if your video features a copyrighted asset, such as a piece of music, that is registered on the YouTube content ID system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The triggering of a claim can be done automatically through the system. Or the company that the copyright holder has registered their assets to content ID through can do it manually. If not already, the video is then monetized and the earnings will be paid to the copyrighted asset owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A copyright strike<\/a> is a little different and, of the two notifications, more serious. It’s unlikely you’ll receive a strike before a claim, so don’t panic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to avoid copyright claims and strikes is to use audio you definitely have the permission to use. This generally means finding music for YouTube videos from reputable and reliable sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Copyright Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may be staring at a dreaded copyright notification because you’ve used no copyright music, and something’s gone awry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless the music is public domain<\/a>, or not on the content ID system, it could still trigger a claim. Sourcing music from sites or YouTube channels that claim it’s no copyright can be risky business. You’re putting a lot of trust in whoever runs the site\/channel, and sometimes people simply don’t understand the copyright and licensing rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royalty Free Music & Claims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best type of music for YouTube videos, if you’re a savvy creator, is royalty free music<\/a>. Whilst this type of music isn’t copyright free, it is the safest and most wallet-friendly method of sourcing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually obtained via a subscription to a dedicated website, you can pay a small fee which allows you to download, use, and enjoy tracks to your heart’s content. The “free” aspect of royalty free refers to the fact you do not have to pay out each time the track is used – for instance, in a commercial or film showing. This is in contrast to paying for sync licensing<\/a> and music licensing<\/a> on a one time basis or for mainstream tracks – which is expensive business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because royalty free music is copyrighted, and that copyright has to belong to someone, it can still generate claims<\/a> on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that’s dumb. Why would anyone want to use it in their YouTube videos, then?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, I’m glad you asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s best to use royalty free music from a subscription site that also controls the copyright for those musical assets. Doing this ensures the site can promptly release claims on your and the musical artist’s behalves. That means you don’t lose out on any potential revenue whilst waiting around for third parties to release the claim. And, even then, it’s not a guarantee that the claim will actually be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Music for YouTube Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
