Youtube Guitar Lessons
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 11:01 pm
I have a youtube channel which I use to upload guitar lessons of popular songs. Most of these videos are monetised, which means I earn an amount from advertisers who use my videos to promote their products.
I recently recieved a "matched third party content" notice on one of my highest viewed videos. it is for the Maroon 5 song "Payphone". I have used no audio from the original recording or sing any of the lyrics. All I do is show how to play a chord progression and guitar riff.
The notice reads
Your video may include the following copyrighted content:
"Payphone", musical composition administered by:
Kobalt Music Publishing
Warner Chappell
BMG_Rights_Management
UMPG Publishing
Am I within my rights to dispute the claim made by Warner Chappell.
The options I have are:
I believe that this copyright claim is not valid, because:
I own the CD/DVD or bought the song online.
I'm not selling the video or making any money from it.
I gave credit in the video.
The video is my original content and I own all of the rights to it.
I have a licence or written permission from the proper rights holder to use this material.
My use of the content meets the legal requirements for fair use or fair dealing under applicable copyright laws.
The content is in the public domain or is not eligible for copyright protection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
