Crymothy Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am Brandon and I am a Highschooler who wants to start a YouTube channel called double canaries. I worked very hard on a video, and I used the Immigrant song inside. But then YouTube said it is copyrighted. Now I am making videos with my friends just for fun, but because YouTube gave me a copyright claim and now I am really worried about the video. I am just a Highschooler so I have no money to pay for copyright, and I cannot find songs just like the immigrant song. I don't want to remove the song from the video since I love that song so much. What do I do? please help Edited October 18, 2020 by Crymothy Quote

It stinks and I am sorry there are no exceptions for the obvious. Quote

DarkK Posted August 13 Posted August 13 (edited) Hi Brandon, I understand your frustration, ugh But instead of removing the song, you might try using royalty-free covers or versions of "Immigrant Song" available online. Look into Creative Commons music as well. For future videos, tutorials on “how to record clips on a PC” can help you avoid copyright issues. Best of luck with your channel!

right-there Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Hi Brandon. While I can't add any more tips to those above, Welcome to this Forum from a fellow member who has discovered just as you have that there's a wealth of information here, and a whole lotta people happy to share it. Good luck with this project, and any others you turn your obviously enquiring mind to in the future. Michael Quote
