Many thanks. That is what I would do with music from the past. I would choose the seventh option to dispute the matter (public domain and not eligible for copyright protection). But the piece I uploaded is a modern piece and the composer himself said that OUP had the rights.

I suppose I'll just have to remove it.

No doubt it's all my fault - but this is a strange case. I uploaded a video to youtube 
yesterday and I got a notification: "Matched third-party content".
That's not the really odd bit though.

The video I uploaded was a modern piece and I've done similar before and in the 
description I have written the publication and the date. But yesterday, perhaps
in a senior moment, I also included the publisher, OUP.  As it was uploading I  
got a notification that it was taking longer than normal. I thought something 
was odd
and deleted the reference to OUP - but, perhaps too late. On the other hand  it's also 
possible that notification  of "Matched third-party content" is not connected 
at all to my including
OUP in the description.

If I click on "Matched third-party content" I get this screen:

So my video 'may include a song owned by a third party' and one or more music 
publishing societies may administer the rights. But the really, really odd 
thing is that youtube is
very clear at the point in the video in which the 'matched content' starts...15 
seconds in... not from the beginning. But I am playing from the very start of 
the video and after 15 seconds
I've got to bar 12. So the first 15 bars of Howard Skempton's Prelude 5 from 
Images is not 'matched content' but after 15 seconds, for an unspecified amount 
of time, it is. I now have two options:
to dispute or acknowledge this. (And I don't know what 'acknowledge' amounts to)

I contacted Howard Skempton, who seems to be a sporting chap and doesn't mind 
me having a crack at his pieces on a lute, and told him about this. He strongly 
urged me to dispute the matter.


If I choose to dispute it, I get this screen:

http://www.pluckedturkeys.co.uk/Untitled-2.jpg

There are seven options and the first three tell me that they are not valid and 
the 'acknowledge' button is inviting me to press it. Howard Skempton tells me 
that OUP hold the rights. I
haven't got a licence or permission from OUP (just as hundreds of thousands of 
others on youtube who are playing music from books they have - or haven't - 
bought).

Fair enough, I reluctantly suppose,  OUP  are the holders of the rights of the 
score  and I haven't got specific permission from OUP (even though the actual  
composer is fine about it and I played the piece
and took the photo).

But what does 'acknowledge' mean? And what about the first 15 seconds?

Could this possibly be some sort of scam? If I click 'acknowledge' do adverts 
start appearing and the minute amount of money start flowing - or trickling - 
to some dodgy copyright corporation?
