How do you prove commercial use rights for you own Music?

[g6120]

I have a YouTube channel devoted to 100% original music. A lot of the songs are copyrighted. YouTube had been pushing the "Monetization" of my videos and I figured it couldn't hurt and might mean more exposure. So I submitted them for "monetization" Well now YouTube is disabling them from "monetization saying I have to prove commercial use rights? How do you prove that?

Good question. Usually in publishing contracts there's a clause something like this : "Composer Hereby warrants that the musical composition is solely and exclusively his original work and holds the publisher harmless from other claims, suits, actions, etc..." I imagine there's a similar agreement with YouTube. Maybe a box you forgot to check off when agreeing to their terms. Other than that, I have no idea.

Happens to me all the time, over and over. YouTube's bots are pissed off; no human being is actually looking at your videos. Just keep resubmitting them for monetization every time you get pulled. Eventually the bots will leave you alone.
