Great info on this one because I have ran into this issue with claims and I did the exact thing u did and just explained how it was mine I have it registered with beatstars and I never lost one. I’m learning new things everyday to help in my journey and I come to find out as well everyone’s journey is different from the next. Sometimes u feel like nothings working but u gotta keep pushing nothing is easy

One of the most helpful producers in the game. Thanks for the info Pain. Much appreciated.

This is huge! Thx 4 this! It hasn't happened to me yet but you have put my mind at easy in this video as it IS something I've worried ab abit. Love ur attitude and outlook ab it as well!

Yes, I came across this problem several times, but each time I successfully challenged the complaint. Not a very pleasant situation, but RU-vid is quickly solving this problem. Thank you for the video! 🙏

Glad to see that I'm not the only one! This Claiming youtube request as become something I do regularly every 1th of each months now!! It's like my beatmaker monthly routine 😅 It's part of the game. I accepted it

I'm just starting so I haven't ran into this issue yet but glad to know it for the future. Much appreciated

I appreciate this guy so much. Always provides value....

@djpain1 I appreciate that you take the time to educate folks. I still have my reservations with beatstars. But it's a good option. You just added more concerns about uploading to RU-vid. I've engineered sessions with artists taking tracks from RU-vid and never contacting the producers. But it's a great way to promote your product and brand.

Thanks bro! Glad to see you're at 100k + now! Good Job!

Very informative piece on How to proceed and protect your hard, ownership work ! Thanks again💲😁

I’m shocked that you’re not at a 100k . I’m sure it’s a matter of time. Great video

Awesome Video! Been looking for an explanation to this situation for a while. Thanks P1🙏🏽

it really bothers me because it copyrights other artists videos who use my music rightfully, and it makes me look bad

Great video fam . You are helping many small producers keep going. 100k!

Dope info g, much appreciated

I'm having the same problem, glad that you properly explained this problem

Thank you DJ Pain 1, this is very helpful💯🎹

Pain 1 u got the sauce call him A1! That beat behind ur video, fire 🔥

Thank you for this video my man!

That first beat in the background is fire to me. The next one is dope too.

Wsup bro.. I've been having the same issue, but as an artists, from other artists. Funny part is that when u said you're listening for the tag I had a big sigh of release. & ok it makes sense why I never get the claim from producers & only other artists who may have also bought the license.. but when I upload to BMI I don't claim the extra 100% for composition of the beat. Everyone doesnt move with integrity.. either way, I appreciate the producer perspective..

Another great video appreciate this one

The problem with registering with content id is most of our beats violates the terms of content id because we use sound kits distrokid doesnt even support electronic music hip hop,edm,dubstep etc because of this issue audiam is the only content id system i know that actually enforces this so even though the others dont your violating youtubes content id rules if you register your beats unless you play every single instrument and sound in your beat yourself

Idk how I missed it but congrats on 80k man

Great video bro, very helpful

Thanks for the great content as always

This was really helpful… I know if I start growing more, I’m gonna have to deal with this

nice video. Thanks. This was something I worry about

Do you see a solution in sight for Content ID issues for instrumentals using purchased non-exclusive samples? Are there any workarounds to this issue? I have decent tracks without samples, but I also have some good ones that use them. It's a pain since most Hollywood post-production studios use non-exclusive FX libraries.

Thanks bro. Valuable 🔥

Im here because this exact same thing just got me. I searched and found the artist singing on my Reggae beat, I disputed the claim. Maybe I won't freak out as much after watching this video, Thanks.

Yo bro RU-vid now gives the claimant the final say so on the dispute... any new advice ??

great informations thanks for that, I had a similar issue with someone who stole my beat on RU-vid and monirized it, so now I gave him 2 options either he buy an exclusive or remove the monitorization

Appreciate the insight !

You're great man thanks so much.

Great video I never knew what those claims were when I got them.! Do you register all your beats with Tunecore that you upload to YT?

Really great video and explanation.

Hell yeah good stuff man 💯

Peace...what about using samples from splice, loopcloud, etc in your tracks and uploading to RU-vid and you (producer) have a content id tied to the track containing samples from a splice, loopcloud, looperman, etc. Will that get flagged...even if it's heavily manipulated? With the possibility of other people using the same sample and claiming ownership. Long question...probably for a short answer.

I use vocal tag in each song. My name is DJ narrow. So I always put my voice twice in each track. Plus my logo is pasted in video and date its uploaded so that proof enough.

so my best bet is to wait for it to copyright my beat on my own channel then dispute it ?

is it worth to do air bit on beat collabs or loops used?

What are some good services to prevent this? Thanks in advance.

If u want to know if somebody purchased a license, just add 1 tag at the beginning for free download mp3 and no tag or different tag for wav license ... at least you know if they bought a license or you can claim copyright. It's not that much, but it's something.

I was joking around with you earlier. But imagine if every producer got together and teamed up. Maybe form a producers Union or something. We could set a minimum price for tracks depending on how the track is used. You might think this is crazy, but we could also get things like insurance in case of lawsuits etc. That's great that you are able to buy a house from your music, but you must realize that your $20.00 a beat formula will not work for everyone. I currently create content for TV here in Toronto. I have also created music for Raptors television so I know what I'm talking about. Anyway man not trying to start an argument, keep up the good work and I'll keep tuned into your content!! Peace

Would this also work if you use splice and you have samples that are 100% royalty free implemented in the beat ? I usually change the pitch of the loop or chop it up and add effects to it , i think there shouldn’t be a problem with it right ? Because it’s royalty free but if someone were to copyright it and I get a copyrighted, should I be in the Clear ?

Thank you for the info 🙏

So from here knowing the new song name we would register it with pro so we can properly collect royalties on song? Or does this claim reach out to tune core and they adjust as necessary?

Great Video 👍🏾 Bro,

I just went trough this like a week ago, but who claimed my production was another producer, we used the same sample, im not signed up to a youtube network because my following is very low. This sucks. Thanks for the video

Thanks for the info!

Got you with the support!

RU-vid puts claims on my beats thru some company called (Fuga) and on all my social outlets as well. I can't set up any stores to sell any beats on my social outlets, except thru Beatstars and because of this and it's very frustrating. Do you have an answer for this?

Thank you so much for speaking directly to this topic. 🙏🏼

Can someone help me understand this. So when I make a beat with a sample that is royalty free but then someone gets a placement with it. Is it disputed-able?

Is it possible to upload beats to Spotify and lease on beatstars at the same time or will that mess with the artists song? Say for example I use distrokid.

Great info 🔥🙏🙏

Thank you for talking about this, i subbed. I had the same problem 2 weeks ago, just dispute it, and report the channel, if it keeps happening, send an email to that music company explaining the situation

how do i allow an artist to use my beat and upload to streaming services ? do i need an official license agreement or a distributor or both ?

Appreciate the video. I'm just now discovering this has happened to me.

Sooooo I have not had this happen yet but my question is should I copyright all my beats before putting them on youtube SoundCloud etc?

Thank you as always. 🙏🙏🙏

How should we deal with Content ID claims, when you used Royalty Free Samples...I got a couple from either other Producers who used the same Loops or in some cases its even the Owner of those Royalty Free Sample Packs I bought, who claims Content ID

Knowledge is power

Thanks bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Man I wish I had these problems, I never even sold a beat

What is the process to upload music to streaming platforms correctly with a free beat?

*What if I would apply "Creative Commons" license on all of my RU-vid videos?*

thanks for that video!

Great info for producers

The claimant simply recorded vocals over my original instrumental master recording/composition. I retain all rights to it. The claimant does not. Please remove the claim.

Do you have recommendations for a service to track this outside of RU-vid ??

How can I upload a track by tunecore if the best is leasing??

This just happened to me, thanks for the info on it

New Subscriber! Great content! I'm curious do you only use Beatstars to license your music? If there is another video you have that explains this that I can watch let me know #Salute

Appreciate the advice

but what about the other clients who bought the beat too

What ever happened to Beatstars RU-vid Content ID service they had? I remembered it said it would be back soon, but never came back?

Hi people, if I purchase a lease from betamaker that only let you upload one video with that beat, but the owner (betamaker) said to you that you could upload many videos with that beat. Could I still got a ID Claim on my youtube video?

your past 100k yet !?!? lol nah seriously though, congrats OG

What if I lease a beat, make a song, upload it to youtube and the producer has the beat on his youtube channel? And this would be a mixtape, so I wouldn't be using a digital distributor.I'd just uplaod it to datpiff or whatever, then on my youtube channel.

So if a artist purchases a YT beat should we purchase unlimited plays?

Thank you for such a good information. its my first day and first upload.

I'm still super green to selling beats online but would also signing up to a content ID service preemptively and registering each beat prevent that? Or would it just cause unnecessary hassle for an artist who posts their song after?

My solution: signed up to airbit used the content ID now all my beats are claimed by myself also I’m claiming all other videos people have uploaded with my beats and kits etc. No I’m earning money from uploads instead of loosing money

Does it make sense to sign up for a Distribution company as a Beatmaker?

nice vid. nice beat too

thank you chief

😥 this got to be one of the more annoying things that happens. makes u feel violated when ur tryna come up. good topic

What if the beat is copywritin?

I was reading the prices for beatstars and it doesnt say content id anymore. Does this mean they dont allow it anymore or am i looking in the wrong place?

What happens if 2 people lease the same beat and release simultaneously

I’m also receiving these types of claims on both if my own RU-vid channels. Haven’t disputed them because I am aware of my distributor and Songtrust that’s claiming copyright on my videos. Don’t know what’s your take on this, should I still dispute? Mostly so that RU-vid know I’m the owner of both the master recording and composition?

What if I cut my own beats from a phone app. Then get the Copyright Claim but do I get sued? I don't care about getting monetized. I just wanna entertain

Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know, if an artist uploads a song via Tunecore or whatever distributor, they have the option to monetize the video on RU-vid. So if they don’t mark it, this kind of mistakes can’t be happening anymore.

WOW GREAT VIDEO BRO BLOCK

Im trying to learn as much as possible about all of the copyright stuff before i post my beats.

thank you

How do I get out of this? This is happening to be now a week before my release 🤦🏾‍♂️
