YouTube Copyright Protected Content!

No, but that clown of yours probably created the music for the famous cinematic. And he registered the rights. YouTube doesn’t associate rights with just anyone! If YouTube tells you he has the rights, it’s because he probably has the rights!!

Almost a year later for a response, still :-P

No, it wasn't him who created the music. That's for sure! He's just a guy who released the soundtrack for that cinematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibyHf1JP5G0

But try to understand how he got the rights to release a CD with just one audio track and in that audio track just the soundtrack of that cinematic with the music and the French voiceovers!?! First of all, I don't understand the point of it, and on top of that, I can't really remember the guy's name or the CD (it could be found on Amazon, strange!), but it had nothing to do with it at all.

But now the actual name of the music has been restored from what I see. It's indeed Ozar Midrashim by Information Society ^^

You should find information about the clip in question to know the production company, then go to the website of that production company (likely in Japanese), look for the "contact" section, and then arrange something with them ;)

There is no production company. As mentioned, it's just hot air. I wonder how they got the rights to release the soundtrack of that cinematic on CD (I'm talking about the whole thing with sound effects, dialogues, etc.), even though the music doesn't belong to them at all. It must have been just a kind of little bonus (not very useful by the way since it's just the soundtrack of the cinematic without the cinematic) for fans of the game who might have happened to notice that it exists.

Seriously, they will never bother me about it because it's clear that it's not very serious. I'm not even worried about it ;-) Like I said, practically every day I see a new person upload that (cult) cinematic on YouTube and no one has ever had any issues with copyright. Moreover, it only concerns the French version of the cinematic. So it's just a big joke, you know ^^

but you don't seem to understand something ... the soundtrack, unless you found it on a site that archives royalty-free sounds, does not belong to you, and you do not have the authorization to distribute it.
Whoever produced the music remains its owner. They may allow someone else to use it for a cinematic soundtrack. They would have authorized that person or group to use it. Therefore, that group can use it even if they are not the original creator of the sound in question.

The sound can also be exploitable as long as it has been purchased. The author of the cinematic may have bought the usage license for that music.


To summarize: either this sound is free, copyright-free, in the public domain, in which case you can use it if you like, or it is not free, and so even if others use it, you cannot.

That's the principle.

In practice, if it’s an unknown sound with an equally unknown author, even if you do not have permission to use the music, if you put it on YouTube, neither Google nor anyone else will report your video for copyright infringement.
You are indeed violating copyright, but everyone does not care at all because it’s a poor sound that interests no one, that is not commercially available on a large scale, etc.


Make a video with a well-known and well-sold music, it will likely disappear quickly.
Make a video with the sound from a video game cinematic, it will likely have a long life.
In both cases, there is copyright infringement.

Anyway, the mention "correspondence established with a third party" that I have on many videos where UMG has flagged them without penalizing me is simply an indication under the video that there is content from such a production house and possibly ads that may appear alongside. I've received several emails about this, clearly stating "no action is required on your part," and in the details of my videos, "this does not penalize your account," so really, it's nothing... When I receive this, I'm actually happy; I take it as an acceptance of my work... Am I wrong? XD In any case, if the artist is really unknown and has flagged it, it might be to self-promote by being mentioned under the video...

Yes, I think so too ;-)

Bullshit, I really don't think so! You are violating copyright, that's a fact! Now it's up to you to take responsibility. After all, they say: "Out of sight, out of mind" ;) But be careful, they also say: "Caught, hanged!" ;)

Good evening, I had a YouTube account since November 2011 and it was deleted a month ago along with about forty photo montages, royalty-free screenshots, effects, and music purchased from Virgin, but due to copyright issues, my account was deleted. I wrote to SACEM to know what I should do to obtain the authors' rights, but I haven't received a response. Could someone please help me? I am thinking of opening an account on Dailymotion and re-uploading my forty montages to avoid this kind of problem. Thank you for your information, I don't know who else to ask.

Hello everyone,
I recently added a video on YouTube, it is a game I purchased called "Far Cry 3." I made a video and in the video, there is music (included in the game) and posted it on YouTube, but YouTube tells me that there is a match established with third-party content.
When I appeal, I consider that I have the rights since I bought the game, and it gives me several choices of responses as follows:

I own the CD/DVD or I purchased the track online.

I am not selling the video and I am not making any revenue from it.

I have credited the names of the people involved in the video.

The video consists of original content for which I hold all rights.

I have a license or permission to use this content written by the rights holder.

My use of the content complies with legal obligations under applicable copyright laws.

The content is public domain or not protected by copyright.

What do you think I should choose to avoid any problems?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, I can't assist with that.

And me, well I just published a slideshow on the theme of space with an unreleased song by Pink Floyd,...

I was quite happy with the result but they cut the sound so I don't know why I'm also looking for the name of the song by the way...

Maybe this one can't be shared without permission... I'm still looking for the title of the song but I haven't found it :)


My brother told me he saw it in that famous movie "The Wall" and that Pink Floyd made the film almost themselves lol


It's awesome, I discovered it one evening on RTL2's evening show, by Zegut, it was just memorable °_°
