Seriously, an intentional copyright violation (which usually isn't alleged until after getting a "cease and desist" letter from the holder of the copyright) has a maximum civil penalty of $100,000 per publication. Arguably, each view on YouTube is a separate publication.

 

While I assume that you don't have the sort of assets available to make such a suit against you viable, YouTube does. The copyright system pretty much leaves it up to the owners of the rights to enforce those rights via private (civil) litigation. Mark C.

Don't know for sure, but from what I've seen using the original recordings can get your video taken off. I've never had youtube question any of the covers I've submitted. Maybe if I had a lot more views it would be more noticeable. Check with youtube to make sure if you're worried about it.

 

Well I went into video manager on youtube and found that 3 of my videos have the notice "matched third party content". That's 2 out of 15 covers submitted, and the 3rd vid has a short clip of a Brad Paisley song. No threats at this point.

What I don't get is that in a dissertation or thesis you are allowed to summarize or quote other documented sources of information and there is no violation as long as you state your source. In music I would believe that would be the same in a live situation? Our band name is Motley Boo Boo and we play music originally composed by Motley Crue with title X from album X. Anyone on here ever had a video actually banned on youtube due to copyright infringement?

Copyright law recognizes the "fair use" exception that allows limited quotation in the context of scholarly, critical, or news accounts. "How much" is a fair use depends on context; lawyers make their living arguing that point. A TV clip of a high wire artist performing a stunt, where the entire (albeit rather short) stunt was broadcast was found to be a copyright violation, since it showed the entire routine (thus denying the performer the exclusive right to limit who saw it). "Samples" used in rap and hip-hop are still being fought over.

 

The typical battle is whether royalty payments are due or not. If you are interested, the Music Business forum here at HC has some good reading on copyright law and licensing/royalty obligations.

Slightly OT

 

FWIW I'm doing a paper on digital piracy and I'm using all scholarly, peer reviewed, articles. I cant for the life of me find any article or statistics that show a decline in record sales because of P2P sharing or pirating of music. Its actually the opposite. The industry has actually requested the removal of DRM technology from discs.

 

I'll post my paper when it's complete if anyone cares to read it.

Most covers on YouTube fall outside the fair use rule so technically you are probably required to pay performance rights ... but ... YouTube recently negotiated blanket licenses with a number of publishers. Problem is there is no way to see whether or not your cover song infringes.

I have thought about that aspect in the past. In the 'pre-digital' age, most of the artists I got excited enough about to go buy their album, I first heard on someone's mix tape. This gives new artists a lot of exposure.

I definitely want to read your paper.
