Copyright notices on YouTube are completely automated. YouTube's computer systems automatically recognized the music in your video, by using "audio fingerprint" technology. YouTube's automated systems do not know that you have bought a license, so that's why you're getting the "copyright notice". The copyright notice can easily be removed by either:
- You can use the "Dispute" feature on the YouTube copyright notice page to provide documentation that you've purchased a license to use the music in your video. Within a couple of days, the copyright claim on your video will be removed.
- Alternatively, fill in the the support request below and let us know (A) the link/URL to your video, (B) details of your license order, such as order number or customer name so that we may find the order, (C) information from the copyright notice screen on YouTube which displays the track title being found in your video, the artist and the company claiming administration of the track. We will arrange to have the copyright notice lifted from your video.
This process ensures that you, as a valid license holder, get rights with your music that those who didn't buy license don't get.
It is against Shockwave-Sound.com policy to sell music that is automatically discovered at YouTube. We try our best to keep our music 'clean' of YouTube audio fingerprinting, and we do not receive any advertising income from YouTube. We do not participate in their Content-ID system. We want our music to be neutral and 'not found' in any audio copyright match at YouTube. And 99.9% of the time, this is the case. But there are stragglers; some composers send their music in to Content-ID for fingerprinting without really understanding what it's about, or how it works. So if you come across a "copyright notice" on YouTube, please contact us so we can clean it up. Thanks!
