| Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | thunderhayes | 6/9/12 3:55 AM | http://youtu.be/jBmE2RA5b8A This video uses Josh Woodward's music, available at JoshWoodward.com and he explicitly states on this page http://www.joshwoodward.com/etc/sharing/ that he allows his music to be used in videos that are enabled for revenue |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | joshwoodward | 6/14/12 7:04 AM | If anyone from YouTube reads this - I explicitly allow my music to be used for YouTube videos, monetized or otherwise, as does anyone who releases their music under the Creative Commons Attribution license. |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | JDoors | 6/14/12 8:07 AM | I'm not the expert you guys need for this but just a link to a web page is likely not specific enough. If you had a page that can be linked that contains ONLY your licensing permissions, users could direct YouTube to that page. Staff isn't going to t |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | thunderhayes | 6/14/12 8:50 AM | Well, I linked to a tweet from Josh Woodward, the page on JoshWoodward.com that says he allows his music to be used, and even the Creative Commons site itself. I gave them more than enough and feel that the information I gave would've been accepted i |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | Mxsmanic | 6/15/12 6:05 AM | Links to Web pages and tweets are not enough, as these can be erased, making it look as though permission was never given (and getting YouTube in trouble). You need something more concrete, like a digitally-signed e-mail or something on paper. The |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | joshwoodward | 6/15/12 6:17 AM | I'm averaging about 100 new uses in YouTube videos each week. There's no way I'm giving personal permission for each of those, and there's certainly no reason I should have to. Music used in videos should be innocent until proven guilty, not the othe |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | JDoors | 6/15/12 7:15 AM | YouTube didn't write copyright law. If a claimant files, YouTube is required to take action, or risk being liable for the infringement. They are not going to take on that liability just to make it easier for users to use copyrighted content, regardle |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | joshwoodward | 6/15/12 7:29 AM | Incorrect. SOPA didn't pass. If someone files a DMCA takedown notice, YouTube isn't liable as long as they take action, which they do (without regard to whether there's actually infringement, but that's another story). |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | JDoors | 6/15/12 8:07 AM | I thought that's what I said, but ... whatever. |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | thunderhayes | 6/15/12 8:11 AM | I did post a link to the Creative Commons site. Also I'm not the only person to use Josh Woodward's music. As much as I hate to say it, YT's "review" process (all monetized videos are supposedly "reviewed") is unfairly biased towards the big guys.

| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | Mxsmanic | 6/17/12 12:11 AM | YouTube has to protect itself from litigation, and must show that it is making a good-faith attempt to protect copyrights in order to prevent major media companies from suing it out of existence. That means assuming that users are infringers until pr |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | joshwoodward | 6/17/12 1:03 PM | Well... no. What about public domain works? Do you have to summon Beethoven's ghost and get him to sign a waiver to play Moonlight Sonata? Not all works are covered by traditional copyright. By releasing music under a Creative Commons Attribution lic |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | PeggyK | 6/17/12 2:19 PM | Thunderhayes: A tweet is unlikely to be accepted as written documentation. You need to link to the actual song you used, which should have the license information (or a link to the license information) on the same page. In addition link to the lic |
| Re: Josh Woodward song denied revenue sharing (despite his webpage saying it can be used like that) | thunderhayes | 6/17/12 3:17 PM | I did post a link, to that exact page, as well as a link to the CC site, multiple times. |
