we have a few different cases :
- the song is not recognized by Youtube because it’s not popular at all. that’s the case for this one , and here there is absolutly no problem.
- the song is flagged by Youtube but still visible. in this case, Youtube uses the video to show ads and the benefits go to the peoples who made the claim. it’s the case for this one , and it’s the most common case (at least for the kind of covers I do).
- the song is flagged by Youtube and the video is removed. it’s pretty rare in my experience. in fact it happend to me only once, so I uploaded the video directly on my website.
@Lanny was bored to see his videos removed to he decided to upload them only on his own website, where the Youtube robot doesn’t make his law.
I myself prefer to upload yo Youtube, see if the video if removed or not … if not I keep it there (even in the 2nd case), and if it is removed I upload the video to my website.
On my site, there are all the covers, on Youtube and on the site itself. this way, nothing is lost.
… still, this YT robocop is really unfair for the creators. a pain in the ass really.
