Welcome back our Self Made friends.
It's Kris Krohn and Grant Thompson.
You may have asked the question isn't okay to use someone else's video in my video?
Or somebody else's music?
Today we're going to talk about that.
So today we're talking about plundering.
We're talking about going and stealing other people's incredible intellectual property
and and taking advantage of it for our own personal using games.
Yeah to some degree but I think there are lot of channels out there that want to make
compilations you know, is it okay to take a snip of this person's video and take some
really awesome music and mash it all together.
It's the cat video man, it's like everyone wants to do the funny cat and dumb things
that animals do.
It's like stealing and creating your compilations on YouTube.
To make a good video, you need some good music and there's some good music out there.
So what are the rules, what are the legalities if you use music in other people's videos.
If you're making the video and you want to reference to somebody else's video, is it
okay to like take a segment of their video and put it yours?
What does it take to do that?
Do you have any experience using people's music or videos?
I do.
One of the things that I do know is that the moment I ever use music that I'm not licensed
to use then like YouTube just mutes the entire video.
I'm like, "damn it!".
I learned that early early on.
One of the things that I learned is that I actually need to have copyright permission
or there's a lot of music that's royalty free music that's out there.
So it's not always like hippest jam, it's not always like the hits that are playing
on the radio.
But I've also gone and bought music like you know the free stuff, you can find some good
things out there.
And in reality is that it's just kind of okay but I've paid $50, $80, a $100 for like some
rocking jam music that I now have the rights to.
I can use it anywhere I want.
I even had YouTube wants flag that need to get and say, "can you prove that you have
copyrights for this?".
I'm like alright, good so my experience is larger than how to use music appropriately.
And I just want to put it to you this way.
YouTube wants you to use 100% original content.
That means any graphics, any animations, and any video content, any music, should ideally
be made by you.
If it at any point in time you reaching out and you're grabbing something for someone
else, whether it's from google search or downloading music or copying some somebody's video, you
are at risk of copyright infringement.
But there are different levels of that risk that will going to talk about.
Now YouTube has a really awesome "content ID system".
It's really fantastic crawling back to all these hours of videos that been uploaded.
Videos in the past and videos in real time, and finding out if you're actually using other
people's music inappropriately.
In some cases, you may actually have a license for the music that you're using and we'll
talk about that in a minute.
And in that case you'll usually get a notice that pops up and saying, "can you provide
proof?"
Now did that on the past is to put your monetization on hold until you can actually verify it and
if you can verify then everything will resume to normal.
Well let me talk about some safety practices.
That will help you keep out of trouble if you choose to deviate from your 100% original
content and start using somebody else's content.
If you're going to use somebody else's video, it's a very, very good idea to reach out to
that person who made it and see if you can get permission.
Get permission from them if you can and if possible, get the permission in writing.
Usually if you're using a video in a way that promotes them, that looks good, it gives them
a shout out, they're going to have no problem giving you access to that video.
Especially if you're just using parts of it.
Obviously they're not going to want you to use the whole thing, but that becomes a negotiable
point.
If you reach out and get permission, you can pretty much do whatever you want because you
have the permission from the copyright holder.
If content ideas going to be an issue, you know if you so much of their video that you're
at risk at getting flagged by the content id system.
You can usually have them disable content id for that video on your channel.
So it will exclude that.
And they can do that through the rights managers.
Grant have you ever used a snip it video from anyone else in one of your uhm...
I certainly have.
And the times where you really cant get a hold of somebody.
There is a little bit of risk in doing that but you know there's some clips.
You know for example, I was at the Polynesian culture center in Hawaii, I was working with
this guy named Cap.
He's a good friend of mine.
He climbs the palm trees and cracks coconuts.
Really good guy and I was doing a video, it was all about something to do with coconuts.
I can't remember at the top of my head what we're doing at coconuts.
So anyway, I want to talk a little bit about this process.
I think we're making a coconut candle.
I want to talk about how you can use coconut milk.
And I didn't have footage of that you know being where we're at in the studio we didn't
have a access to coconut milk from a coconut . I just went online I found Cap's videos
where he was squeezing a coconut milk and I use about a one second clip of that in my
video.
Just so some raw footage just give viewers some content.
Now my general rule of thumb you know what I've seen and I'm not recommending this is
right or the right way to do it but what I've seen is if you use about 4 seconds or less
of a clip, it's not going to be enough to trigger content ID.
And it's not going to be enough to really trigger people in general.
But if you don't have permission it could be a potential copyright point where the owner
of that video came back to you and want you to take the video down, you might have to.
Now in the case where I use that little footage of Cap, I actually blew it up so the footage
was bigger, you couldn't recognize who it was.
He's Hawaiian, He's Polynesian feet and some coconut milk, right?
But my viewers watching the video, some of them recognized what that was from.
They went back to the person that made the video and they said, "hey, look his using
some of your video footage."
So they actually emailed me and they're like, "hey, we notice that you're using this and
we work out a deal where I get them a little shadow in the description in return.
You know so I would say, number 1, always reach out and see if you can get permission.
Number 2, if you're willing to take the risk that your video might be flagged, demonetize,
taking down, you get a copy right strike, you may just go ahead and put it in the video
because you realize the risk that you're taking for that.
If you do, usually four seconds or less of the video probably are the safe way to go.
You know there's another version of copyright that has nothing to do with music or video,
but it has everything to do with content.
Hmm.
There's a lot of other people there that they produce the video, they have to put a lot
of time and effort into it, and then they've created some great success with it.
And notice that a lot of other people, they're going to jump on that bandwagon and they're
going to want to produce something similar.
And I think it's super important.
And this is something like to do.
I like to actually see what's hot, what's popular and what out there?
The difference between literally just stealing something from someone's content, there's
a difference between actually producing your own, commenting on it.
The most important thing, that I would recommend there is make sure you always give credit
where credit is due.
I came up with this, but the reality is if you didn't, you should own up to that a 100%.
And as Nate and I been out there as m manager, has gone out and find similar videos that
have done wise and say, "hey Kris let's do shout out to this creator and what that's
led to is I got a couple of creators coming back like, "dude Kris, thank you so much man,
really appreciate the shout out, thank you so much for sharing your opinion on the topic."
And I'm also going to tell you that I have produced a couple of videos where I've gone
up and I have a tact so pretty noticeable individuals out there.
When I had a different opinion than them.
And it's always go time a lot of views but even just recently I've started thinking you
know, what would happen if I built on our commonalities versus our differences.
And maybe made room for some collaborations rather than actually trying to make enemies
out there.
What would happen if with somebody's find out where we were similar or different.
And I think that there are some ways that you can show up and be respectable when you
were referring to other people or you can also be disrespecting.
I think you can get views on both of them.
Hmmm.
But I think that living in a friendly world with a reputation where you got ability to
do shout outs to these people in a way that they would say, "hey that was respectful maybe
we can do some things together."
As you get bigger, I think that's something that's personally important to me.
So I guess what I'm saying here is make sure you give a credit where credit is due.
When it comes to copyright with actual content.
Hmmm.
Friends, thank you for watching this video and the rest of it is coming up next in the
next video.
