YouTube & Content ID
Youtube and Facebook use a recognition software that scans music in videos and checks the copyright ownership. If it believes that you are using music illegally, they will send you a copyright notice.
Our tracks are not registered in any Content ID system. If you have had a copyright notice one of two things has happened:
1 – It is a “false positive” or in other words, their software got it wrong.
2 – Someone is trying to steal our music by illegally registering it and making a false claim
This is what you should do:
Step 1:
Contest the claim and do not remove your video. If you purchased our music you are allowed to use it in your video productions.
Step 2:
When asked for a reason from YouTube check: “I have a license or written permission from the proper rights holder to use this material”
Step 3:
When you buy a track from us you are sent a full licence agreement in PDF format. Attach this to your claim and put our website link in your reply. You are also sent a receipt of purchase from us. You can also attached this and send to YouTube for full evidence of purchase. This will show YouTube that you have legally obtained your music from us.
Step 4:
Finally, please contact us and tell us. This will allow us to investigate to ensure no-one is stealing our music or using it illegally and causing problems for our customers. We too will follow up with YouTube or Facebook and do everything we can to help to prevent any streaming issues or hold up.
Remember, our music is YouTube safe and you have full permission to use our music on YouTube.
