YouTube has strict copyright rules to protect creators and rights holders. Here are some key points:
- Original Content: You should only upload videos that you have created or have permission to use.
- Copyright Claims: If you use copyrighted material without permission, the copyright owner can file a claim, which may result in your video being removed.
- Fair Use: Some copyrighted content may be used under “fair use,” but this is determined by courts, not YouTube.
- Content ID System: YouTube uses an automated system to detect copyrighted material and allow rights holders to manage their content.
- Three Strikes Rule: If you receive three copyright strikes, your channel may be terminated.
