Do people even get copyright strikes on youtube for music anymore?

[TheMrFailz]

As the title states, do people actually get copyright strikes anymore on videos that contain copyrighted music (not including blatant piracy of it)? It seems like in 99.9% of cases now they just claim ads and call it done.

[meanwhile]

yeah, copyright strikes are still very prominent on music uploads, although mass blocking of the infringing material tends to be more common

I think music uploads fall under "blatant piracy" like OP said.

Answering OP's question... it depends.

Like you said, blatant piracy (aka uploading the song as-is) for video-game soundtrack, for example, will surely get the developers to put a copyright strike on that video, and that applies ten-fold in triple-A releases, but videos in YouTube nowadays that use copyrighted music most of the time employ Fair Use and are either criticism (countless critics on YouTube use copyrighted music all the time), parodies (think SiIvaGunner), teaching (like countless tutorials) or fall under some weird gray area like Let's Plays (which, unlike the former examples, may be copyright-striked on a case-by-case basis for their music use on intros, outros, etc...). These also happen to be some of the most quote-on-quote profitable and most popular kinds of videos you can upload as well.

It's more prominent on videos that contain audiovisual content like movies, which may get copyright strike'd even though it could've been used under the context of criticism, but YouTube bots and dumb lawyers don't look for context.

So as long as it isn't blatant music uploading, it usually just gets Content ID'd and YouTube calls it a day, so yeah, it isn't as prominent as it was before.

i posted a video the other day and they copyright striked me because of a show I was watching in THE BACKGROUND.. The theme song started playing and YT literally told me that the owner of the theme song isnt going to allow me to monetize off it...

MUSIC FROM A TV SHOW THAT WASNT EVEN PLAYING FOR MY VIDEO..

Having the TV on in the background of your video is wrong, unless you're filming porn, then I'm into it.
