Hi!
We have a question for you who has a youtube channel and posts songs online. Have you received copyright warnings lately? For some time now we have been getting it every week. For the last 3 weeks, our version of What you´re proposing was blocked due to copyright issues. Suddenly this week, the blockage was removed, and UMG (Universal) has agreed that advertising revenue goes to the songwriters. This week it is about Paperplane we put out in 2013 and they´ve also pinpointed out Rollover lay down that´s in our medley nr2... and we suppose they will continue coming.... Please let me know if anyone has these issues to.

It's something to do with moneterisation so you don't earn from other people's work... I have my own channel and have most of my own stuff that I have filmed and also posted other people's music, I have even put Tubular Bells on with Mike Oldfields people's permission so long as I don't make any money from it.....

Hi Mac and thank you for your answer, appreciate you taking the time! All commercial income from our covers is going to the songwriters, it´s been so from the start. So we don´t understand why they are so persistent all of a sudden? We got curious of your channel...what´s it called? // Studio Quo

I notice you are from Sweden, sometimes a YouTube link will not work there and its probably down to UMG not allowing it.... A lot of the bits I have done from tribute bands come with a 'copyright' issue but have never been taken down.... I did get a notice some time ago from YouTube that I am a 'trusted member' so I think they will allow my uploads unless someone reports one.... As yet not one has been disallowed.....

In the past I used to get a 'Matched 3rd party content' message in some stuff, even though there never was, it seemed to be an excuse to add advertising to my videos, thats why I always put 'no original recordings used as a backing' on mine, and never had any issues since.
Cant imagine you will have any problems, there are millions of covers on YT, they would have some job going after all of them.

Thank you Jamie and Mac for sharing your knowledge. We were only curious if more people had similar problems. When we put out a new song it only takes a few minutes before we get a "reminder". But as you say Jamie, we don't think we will have any problems in the future. If so, they have a gigantic job to do going after coverbands... // Cheers

I've done plenty of Quo covers for Youtube and the worst I've had is an "Includes Copyrighted Content" tag put against them. If I've done a straight cover, I've called it exactly that, e.g. "Status Quo Caroline Cover". There's a couple where I've done slightly different versions of Quo songs and have had nothing. I don't make money from my vids, that's not the idea (and nor to be fair would I make much!!), but I suspect if I did start going about doing that they might be on to me. But equally I've only had around 50,000 views in total across all my vids (a good 15-20, more), so I'm not really going to be worrying anybody. It's odd though if you've got permissions. I don't know the full details but as the money's not going to you I wouldn't over pursue things because the only winners in anything like this will be the lawyers. It may also, as has been mentioned earlier, depend on the countries involved and their copyright laws. You've probably done the right thing in asking for permission in the first place although that might have the drawback of getting you on their radar. I imagine that's some sort of software involved on Youtube that detects covers of songs? If not, it's a job I'd like!!! I have also done a few videos using other bands' original versions of songs to my own video. One for AC/DC got taken down without notice as did another Christmas song that I suspect was a major-label release.

Hi George! Thank you for sharing your experiences. We only reacted to the recent intense monitoring. After all, we have had the channel for 11 years without any problems whatsoever.
You have your own youtube channel? What is it called? We enjoy looking at other people's covers and channels to find inspiration. For example, jamielotustech's videos have inspired us to record some songs. (thanks Jamie).// Studio Quo

He is a very nice bloke too and very good guitarist, I very much enjoyed the times we jammed together, wish there had been more occasions. I think you and I have "talked about SoS a couple of years ago!" on another thread...Johan and I played together in band called Status Quovers for about 3-4 years, which was put together by pure coincidence. //

Hello mate! I recognized the videos straight away, visited you a few times and had a lot of fun and laughed a lot (I mean that in a positive and entertaining way) .. we get to learn from your creativity. Our videos are boring compared to yours! I am a new subscriber to your channel ...// Studio Quo
