How to Clear a COPYRIGHT CLAIM - Epidemic Sound
Фильм және анимация
This video is a short tutorial on the methods by which you can clear a copyright claim or strike from your video if it has been falsely claimed by epidemic sound. As an epidemic sound subscriber, you have a license you use epidemic sound music in your films and youtube videos, however, sometimes the content ID system will make a mistake and flag your video for copyright infringement and stop your monetization anyway. These are the two ways by which you can contest the copyright claim and re monetize your video!

I think "Clear Videos" is a Commercial Plan feature, I don't see it as a Personal Plan feature
@JosephMartin
Жыл бұрын
Yep! Good clarification. It’s only needed for the commercial plan because the personal plan is already linked to your channel, while you need to be able to clear videos on clients’ channels with the commercial plan.

I don't see the clear video option on my commercial plan and I did submit a dispute form on KZread with a coy of my receipt for my Epidemic Sound commercial account plus the Distribution section of the license and Epidemic Sound rejected my claim! I then contacted them via their site and got an email back from someone on their Digital Rights Team basically saying it won't affect the monetization of my long videos and it links the music somehow and may bring basically get me more views! They have sent me the similar email 3 times since I sent my concern last night. I keep telling them I paid for the service to not get claims so the claim should be removed.
I have the personal plan and received a copyright claim from them on a Short. I disputed and Epidemic Sound DID NOT clear it! They send me a separate email and stated that the copyright claim did not matter since I could still be monetized, which my channel isn't yet so I need a clean slate for the time when it is reviewed. I am appealing it and hope they clear it. I also sent links to prove that my subscription is current, paid, and that my KZread channel is disclosed. I am really disappointed with the way they are handling a current customer of theirs who has paid for a subscription and is licensed to use their music. How this turns out will determine whether I stay with them and recommend them going forward.

Oh wow! I have to try this! I just got the personal ES subscription and used their music in my recent video... uploaded it today and saw copyright claim on it and I've been so panicked about it and didn't know what to do. I have their music all throughout my video so I have multiple claims . So I went back in ES app to see if I put my YT channel in safelisting and I didn't. (Thought I did!) So I've now put my channel there and I guess now I will have to put a dispute in for all the songs I used in my video? I'm so new to this I really don't know. I thought once you have a subscription for ES you're good to go. Any help is appreciated... thanks!
Is it better to upload the video first as unlisted, wait for the disputed claim to be cleared, then make the video public? At 0:43 you mention that the ad rev is stored then returned to you once the dispute has been cleared. Other KZreadrs claim that the music artist makes the ad rev until the dispute is fixed and to make sure the claim is fixed before going public. Thanks for your advice.
Well I managed get to safelist option but entering my page link it show link error?? Help please
Is there a way to simply look at a song and tell if it's a Epidemic Sound song? Thx
Thankyou very much for this video, cause this is the third time I had a copyright claim...with a Epedemic license

I think they are trying to do what KZread does on its Shorts policy, because I also tweeted TeamKZread to ask what's going on. I disputed the second copyright claim as well. This just started so I think that Epidemic Sound is trying to pick up on the use of their music in the shorts for their monetization for their artists. Anyway. I'm still emailing and tweeting back and forth. What a headache! And in all my video descriptions I give attribution to Epidemic Sound and the song and artist! I have a commercial license and the clear video button selection is not available on my account page. I think that Epidemic Sound removed it. I wonder how many other creators are having this happen?

Exactly the same here! I‘m using their music since 3 years. This is really annoying! And they refuse to remove the claim (I did email and also requested the removal on KZread). They just say that it has no impact on monitization and that‘s it. I‘m thinking about moving over to Artlist.
Great video! My question is, can a chosen song play in its full length in the background? Or how many seconds can be used per song if someone has a personal plan?

I either delete the videos in which case Imlost the views, then reload it back with a different music from ES and the replacement got copy right claims also so I resorted to replacing them with music from youtube library that have not received copyright claims, so I hope they stay that way.

Hey, if they find a copyright content claim like the one in the video, will the video still get pushed out to people?
@JosephMartin
7 ай бұрын
It should- i haven’t seen any negative algorithm effects on claimed videos, though some claims restrict the video from being shown in certain countries.
I'm very close to being monetized, am just under the 4K watch hours threshold so maybe this will be different because of that. I'm still fuzzy on Content ID claims verses Copyright Strikes. I've had a license with Epidemic Sound and have been making videos using their music since March of this year (although I only just now realized that I should have linked my KZread channel to it). I always get a Content ID claim when I post my videos but it says "this is not a copyright strike" and that my channel is not affected. I can see that I'm getting credit for the watch hours, but what's going to happen once I break through 4K watch hours and become monetized? Will they then say that I can't monetize these videos until I clear them? Is it necessary to go through the motions of removing the Content ID claim at this point? thanks!
@JosephMartin
9 ай бұрын
Hi! In short, yes- you will need to remove the copyright claims before those videos can be monetized. A strike is different than a claim. A strike is a more extreme action taken by google for serious copyright infringement (like reposting a movie) or for breaking their terms by posting something inappropriate. Strikes can lead to your channel being banned, but claims just mean you can’t monetize the claimed video, but the watch hours etc. still count. Hope this helps!

Interesting. You said at 0:45 + that you get the money back for the watch time that was "unmonetized" between the time the claim was placed and the time the claim was lifted. Someone sent me your video today because yesterday, via "chat" with KZread C/S, the YT rep told me that I won't get that money back. First he tried to tell me that during the time my videos were under the "copyright claim", my video was blocked and wasn't shown to anyone (ie no views). But I could see in the analytics that my videos were indeed viewed during that timeframe. Then the YT rep told me that, nevertheless, I wasn't going to get that money back for the "lost monetization". My other contact said the YT rep is wrong and sent me your video. I hope you are right! 🙂

Unfortunately they do bad publicity, I paid 108 euros to be able to use their music in my "music experience" channel, but it's not possible. So I have a subscription and content id... But thx for the tip.
Important detail nobody tells you: You have to first link your YT channel to your Epidemic account.
I was a paying business plan member they were soo rude that I removed my membership and just decided to hire my own producers for my music it's not worth the hastle. I literally had a lady a few months prior and saved the email tell me hey you can use the music the way you want since your a paying member and you will be fine.....well....that didn't last I got copyright claims not strikes I asked why they said they can do what they want.....um okay well not sure why I am paying money then so I immediately cancelled my plan the change in their attitude btw I would always link to their creators and artists I never claimed to make any of their music and wanted to give their artists some clout but had to delete over 20 videos it's just not worth dealing with them.
