What happens if I use copyrighted music on YøùTùbé?
YøùTùbé employs a robust system called Content ID that allows copyright owners to identify and to manage how their content is used on YøùTùbé. Every video uploaded to YøùTùbé is scanned against the Content ID database to detect if it contains any copyrighted music or video.
Copyright owners, not YøùTùbé, get to decide what to do with videos that contain their work.
If you use copyrighted music registered in the Contend ID system, the copyright owner may decide to:
- Mute your video (video is still available but no audio)
- Block your video (worst case – this most likely will penalize your channel)
- Monetize on your video by running ads (you won’t be able to monetize)
- Track the viewership statistics of your video
In most cases, Content ID is only available to established music publishers, however, a number of YøùTùbé certified companies, like

For example, if you use a music track registered in the AdRev system, you will receive a copyright claim (also known as
third party content match) that looks like this:
If you have already switched to the new YøùTùbé studio, the claims may be harder to notice but they do appear:
I’ve got a copyright claim. Am I in trouble?
That depends. The Content ID system is merely informing you that it detected some copyrighted music in your video. The copyright owner decides whether they want to allow you to use their music.
In most cases, the owners will be happy to let you use their music in exchange for putting ads in your video. Sadly, this means you won’t be able to monetize your video.
However, if your video was taken down, this most likely will affect your account standing and you may lose access to some YøùTùbé features. Repeated offenders will be banned from YøùTùbé. Note that
deleting offending videos won’t restore your account standing.
How can I legally use copyrighted music on YøùTùbé?
When you get a third party content claim YøùTùbé suggest you do one of the following:
- Acknowledge it. If you don’t mind the ads, you don’t have to do anything.
- Remove or swap the music. *
- Share revenue. If you’re a partner you can share revenues for song covers.
- Dispute the claim if you believe you have the right to use the music.
* Starting in 2019, YøùTùbé has been making some changes to make it easier for creators to resolve the claims. In particular, YøùTùbé configured their post claim tools – Add or Replace a Song, Remove a Song, and Trimming – to automatically release claims on some of the cases.
The best option is to secure the permission of the copyright owner to use their music on YøùTùbé and to have the owner retract the claim. This may be free (as with Creative Commons or Public Domain music) or you may need to pay a licensing fee.
Getting the permission (or the license) may be easy or hard depending on what kind of music you’d like to use.
If you are after a popular commercial song this usually involves getting in touch with the publisher and working out a deal. As you can imagine, the licensing fees in this case may be quite substantial.
