The principle of YouTube’s 3 copyright violation

To avoid being hit by YouTube’s copyright (receiving an infringement strike), you need to understand YouTube’s copyright policy and the platform’s Community Guidelines. YouTube’s Community Guidelines detail the types of content that are and are not allowed on YouTube, including prohibitions on posting copyright infringement, harassment, or other inappropriate content.

YouTube uses a combination of automated technology and human resources to detect and flag content that doesn’t follow its Community Guidelines. When content is flagged, YouTube will review it and may issue a warning to the channel’s owner.

When receiving a violation warning, your channel will have certain consequences:

  • First violation: The channel will be temporarily shut down for a week. During this time, channel owners cannot post any new content, including videos, live streams, stories, custom thumbnails, playlists, and posts.
  • Second violation: If the violation occurs within 90 days of the first infringement, the channel will be suspended for two weeks. After two weeks, if there are no further violations, the channel will be fully restored. However, both violations remain valid for 90 days from the date they were given.
  • Third violation: If the violation occurs within 90 days of the second infringement, the channel will be permanently removed from YouTube. Therefore, all videos, subscribers, and data related to the channel will be lost.

Understanding YouTube copyright as well as Community Guidelines is very important to ensure your channel operates stably and does not encounter unnecessary trouble.

3+ steps to remove YouTube violations and how to complain about YouTube copyright “fast, concisely, effectively” for KOLs

How to remove copyright-violated content on YouTube

As a KOL, creating content on YouTube can sometimes lead to unwanted situations such as being flagged for copyright. Don’t panic! Please calmly follow these steps to avoid YouTube copyright strikes to effectively solve the problem:

Step 1: Identify content copyrighted by YouTube

When your video receives a copyright warning, YouTube will immediately take it down after confirming the violation. You will receive an email notification of this. To check in more detail, sign in to YouTube Studio (formerly Creator Studio) and go to Manage Videos. Videos flagged for copyright will have a © symbol next to them. 

Step 2: Contact the party alleging copyright and file a YouTube copyright complaint

In the notification email, you will find the contact information for the party claiming the copyright. Proactively contact them via email, phone, or other channels such as Facebook (if available). If the complaining party belongs to a Network (Multi-Channel Network), please contact that Network to check and receive support.

Your goal is to negotiate and explain the situation. If you have permission to use the content or there is a misunderstanding, make it clear and request a retraction. If successful, your video will be restored.

Note: In case the complaining party is a Network, they may ask you to provide evidence of permission from the video copyright owner to use the content. Be prepared with information such as email exchanges, photos, or any related documents as evidence. 

Step 3: Make an appeal (If any)

If you believe your video was flagged in error or you qualify for fair use under copyright law but the complaining party refuses to retract, you can submit a counter-notification. to YouTube.

A counter-notification is a legal request for YouTube to review its decision to take down your video. After receiving notice, the original complaining party has 10 business days to prove their copyright ownership. If they cannot provide valid evidence, the appeal will be dismissed and your video will be restored.

Advice: Always respect copyright laws and use content carefully and responsibly. If you are unsure about using certain content, research carefully or ask for permission first to avoid unnecessary trouble.

How to avoid Youtube “violations”?

To avoid encountering a “YouTube copyright stick” that leads to consequences such as monetization restrictions, video deletion, or even channel blocking, you need to strictly comply with YouTube’s copyright regulations. 

Common copyright violations on YouTube include:

  • Unauthorized use of other people’s content: This includes using other people’s images, sounds, and videos without their permission. For example, inserting other people’s music/images into your videos, using music as video background music, ringtones, ringback tones, etc.
  • Editing or remaking other people’s content without permission: Actions such as remixing music, separating karaoke beats, covering music… can all be considered copyright infringement if you have not asked for permission from the copyright owner.
  • Merging and synthesizing a lot of content from many different people: Compiling music and making video highlights from many different sources can also violate copyright without the consent of all relevant copyright owners. 

How to avoid YouTube copyright strikes:

  • Always ask permission before using other people’s content: If you want to use someone else’s audio, images, or videos, you should contact them for permission. Also, make sure you have proof of this permission (email, text message…) to provide to YouTube in case of a dispute.
  • Use open copyrighted content: You should use images, sounds, and videos that are marked with Creative Commons (CC) open copyright. This is a type of copyright that allows others to use content for free under certain conditions (attribution of source, no commercial use…).
  • Create original content: The best way to avoid copyright infringement is to create your own content.

By understanding and complying with YouTube’s copyright law regulations, you can protect your channel from the risk of being “copyrighted” and contribute to a healthy creative environment.
