MegaTube (company) is rigorously flagging every Death Note video I upload via the Content ID system which is extremely annoying because it not only prohibits me from monetizing my videos, but also blocks the video in several countries. I have disputed their claim - if they *don't* release it I'll either appeal or re-upload the video. More likely I will appeal, but in case this video gets re-uploaded, you know why. Just thought I'd fill you in. In any event, I hope you enjoy this little clip, a lot of effort went into it. There's more to come tomorrow!
Watch it. A failed dispute can result in channel termination or a permanent strike.(copyright strikes leave after 6 months of good behavior [I had one]) I don't think you can monetize copyrighted work such as anime footage. You can upload it but can't make any money. Unless you have a pre-made agreement with the copyright holders, which could take years of negotiations if they are even open to that. Your anime list videos are more safer because it's all narration. If you're trying to be the next comedy fandubber like CardGamesFTW or TeamFourStar I have news for you. If you're shifting away from "reviewing" and "top 10 lists" for this genre, expect a lot of bullshit and multiple channel terminations. LittleKuriboh has become so popular and has gone to enough conventions that he personally now has a deal with 4Kids and other copyright holders so that they take a cut and allow him to keep doing YOTAS. Before then he would constantly get flagged and even terminated for his fandubs. MegaTube doesn't *have* to allow you do to anything because they are not getting a cut of your ad revenue, so for now they are claiming all of it. And unlike 4Kids, they might not even be open to negotiations to 3rd parties such as yourself for using their content. Just saying that pursuing this is thin ice and i'm warning you ahead of time.
