Posting on youTube

[Charlie2Kairi]

I guess this is the right spot to post this, I'm a nublet.
I have posted 3 videos on YouTube and one was blocked and 1 was partly blocked. I understand about copyrights and such, thats fine, I just want to know if anyone has ever had big trouble with posting a video. Like getting fined for using the anime/songs and I know that YouTube will block accts for using copyrighted stuff. It makes me nervous to post anymore amv's. I put the stuff on there that says that its copyrighted by _fill in the blank_, I had figured when I posted a video for first time that was what I was supposed to do. So what experiences are there, should I be so worried about posting anything more. I don't want to get huge problems from posting AMV's, I just want to be able to show them off.
Not sure how silly this post sounds, but I just wanted to know about this, Thanks! ^.^

I don't know of anyone who has gotten fined for that. Multiple accounts closed, yes...but not fined.

I'd say uploading AMVs here is better in pretty much all ways (except for visibility)...but then again I might be just a tad biased :p

I always upload my videos to a 'test' youtube account 1st, to see what the reaction is. I try to always access that from work, and my main account from home (different ISPs), but I'm sure I have screwed that up at times.

Then some videos get hit months later sometimes.

I've gotten strikes from the company who owns inuyasha, and from miyazaki

I just recently put up, on my test account, my latest video. Here is the copyright reaction it got:

sounds like someone needs to review the nations of the world

I think the main thing is to have "alternate accounts" to work with. HalOfBorg's test account idea is pretty good. I've seen people mirror images and change the pitch of the audio to get around filters, but I usually find that to be really distracting. My suggestion is, use a test account with "betas" of your videos to see the "youtube affects" by uploading it "unlisted" and any videos that give you trouble just post it here.

LOL

Fun fact: that song was actually inaccurate when it was made (including several non-existent countries and missing at least 3 entirely). I think it misses over a dozen now.

On topic: I wouldn't try to do anything to get around the filters they put there. Doing so is willful and flagrant violation of their ToS and the law. You have no defense at that point. You can't even feign ignorance.

I wouldn't worry about posting stuff on youtube. I've only had one video where the audio was disabled, but usually most videos I post only get partly blocked in Germany, which from my understanding is because of the audio and the way they license music there.

When I get copyright strikes I file DMCA counter-notices claiming fair use. Two weeks later the video is back up and the copyright strike is removed. fairusetube.org is a good resource for that.
