@LolaSlaytor I was actually thinking that cause I was in Hamilton for vertical love in the summer! I didn't perform, just went to watch.  I'm at Aradia Fitness Toronto.

@LolaSlaytor, I've hit the acknowledge button on all my videos, because it doesn't matter if you acknowledge or dispute it, the Content ID software as already flagged your video as having copyright material.  If you don't click either I'm not sure what happens…do you notice your videos unable to be viewed on mobile even if you have hit either button?

My thoughts were that, I'm not going to deny it, cause we're all using music in our pole videos.  By acknowledging that, all I've down is given the copyright holder the option to take down my video if they want to, OR, if it starts to get millions of view, get the revenue from it.  Since all my videos are unlisted I doubt I'm going to become Youtube famous anytime soon.  I'm hoping the very minimal views of my videos means no one will care!!

I was recently tasked with uploading all the videos from our open house onto Youtube so we could share them in our closed facebook group.  Every video was "flagged for third party content".  I began researching to figure out how this would affect my account.  Also, all the videos were marked unlisted.  

I chose to acknowledge that there was third party content because using the entire song didn't fall within the guidelines of "fair use", I live in Canada and the rules seem to be different here.

All it means is that the person who owns the copyright to the music now will be the one making money off your video, if it happens to go viral. I'm not sure if you get a percentage…or if they take everything.  If the copyright holder is fine with you using the song they will keep the video up but it can't be played on mobile (which is what happened to all of mine).  The videos are up as of now, but if the copyright holder decides a year from now they don't like them, they can be removed without notice and I will get a flag on my account. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

The "Content ID" software is unbeatable, copyright owners submit their work and if it ever matches something uploaded it will be flagged.  Apparently it scans 100 years of video everyday, it's insane!

I've thought about reaching out to Bruno Mars via twitter to ask if I can use his song….I doubt he would mind!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Thanks for all the great info ladies.

Thanks so much Lina.  It's awesome to get a response from such a youtube veteran!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I've been watching your videos since I started poling.  I've been researching this topic non-stop to figure this all out since I don't want the videos to get taken down.  I'll post my findings on the thread you linked.
