Hi everyone: A friend suggested that I do Youtube videos (instructional type), and make some money that way. Since I already have about 115 videos of music editions uploaded already I assumed, why not at least "monetize" them and get started right away. But apparently if you have music, the Youtube automated system flags your video, and sends you a review notice, asking for details. I had to do that about ten times last night. Then today I get an E-mail from Youtube stating I've been removed from their revenue sharing plan: because I have so many videos posted that would would appear to have copyright issues. But they're not: the videos are my renderings of my music editions (of public domain music-- all of it from the 18th century). I even make my own "art" for the videos (usually an image of the source and I colorize it or do other things in Photoshop).
So right now I have to manually appeal EACH video. And I've done that with two of them so far. But my question is: what happens in the future as I generate more video content? Anyone know of a better way to do this? I assume record labels must have some sort of automatic flag posting approval for any content they post. And you can't just call up a customer service agent at Youtube. Although considering the amount of money involved for Google from Youtube, I have NO idea why they don't. Does anyone know of a work-around or a better way? Thanks for ANY help or suggestions ;) Kim _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
