Nowadays, a huge number of people are looking for easy money on the Internet. YouTube has a special niche. Every day, thousands of daredevil channels are created on this resource that want to monetize their video work. And if they are engaged in the removal of the video and its installation on their own, then this is good and they are not in danger, but using someone else’s material may entail a strike of the channel or even its removal, since this material is protected by copyright.
In this article, we’ll talk about how to get around copyright on YouTube. We will analyze in detail all possible methods and tell you what this may entail. This article will be interesting for beginner youtuber who take their business seriously and do not want to stupidly lose their channel.
What is copyright
Copyright is a legal tool for writers, musicians, artists, and other creative people who use it to protect their work. But copyright does not apply to everything in a row. Let's take a closer look at what can be protected by copyright and what is not.
So, the following things can be protected by copyright:
- literary, architectural or audio production;
- video;
- choreography;
- music
- theatrical performance;
- pictures, graphics;
- sculptures;
- computer code.
However, in order for the work to be protected by copyright, it must be recorded in physical form. For example, a spontaneous dance number cannot be protected, but if it is a choreography that was recorded using a video, then we can talk about authorship.
The harm of uniqueness
So, with the very concept of "copyright" we figured out, now, before the story of how to circumvent copyright on "YouTube", it is worth explaining what harm it can bring.
First things first, anyone can complain about your content on their own when they see or suspect copyright infringement in it. In this case, uniqueization cannot save you from a strike in any way. Even more so, if for uniqueness you used the Content ID bypass and the copyright holder reports this, then your channel will most likely be simply deleted.
We must also remember that the video is checked through the Content ID system periodically, and given the fact that it is still being improved, the logical conclusion is that your channel may be banned sooner or later.
One interesting question can be found on the Web - does Spin Blaster help avoid a strike? Remember that Spin Blaster simply creates a lot of copies of your material, which you can upload to your channel, but it cannot bypass copyright.
So, we figured out the possible harm, now we proceed directly to the discussion of how to get around copyright on YouTube.
How to get around copyright on the new channel
The first method will be very simple, however, it is applicable only to newly created channels. He also has a lot of minuses. So, in order not to rant for a long time, we turn to the essence:
- You need to register for YouTube video hosting and create your own channel.
- The channel must not be confirmed by SMS. Otherwise, you won’t be able to upload videos that go beyond 15 minutes.
- Now upload a video that has been going on for more than 15 minutes. For the method to work completely, let it be a couple of copies.
- As soon as the process is completed, you will receive a message that you need to confirm the account via SMS.
- We confirm.
- We go into the video manager and activate our videos there.
As a result, most videos will be ignored by Content ID. The main advantage of this method is that secondary scanning does not work, and the video will be blocked only if individuals complain about it.
However, there is a huge drawback. This operation can be performed only once, since the account will already be confirmed by SMS.
Now you know the first way to get around copyright on YouTube. Well, if it does not suit you, then others will be considered later.
Classic unique
Now the most standard ways to get around copyright on YouTube will be presented:
- You can add a frame to the video in any video editor.
- It is acceptable to distort, stretch or rotate a video.
- Sometimes filters and minor color grading help.
- If this does not affect the quality of the video, then it can be accelerated, it also helps to bypass the Content ID system.
Of course, the main advantage of these methods is that the videos can be downloaded in unlimited quantities. However, do not forget that the danger of blocking still remains.
But only one of the shortcomings can be distinguished: a strong distortion can scare away potential subscribers, since it needs to be carried out sufficiently so that the Content ID does not recognize the violation.
You’ve learned a few more ways to avoid YouTube’s copyright infringement. Now we pass to the final method.
Short fragments
