I figured I would start this topic since tons of people go to shows and record videos and post them on youtube.
My youtube account was recently shut down due to getting my third copyright strike from dmca (digital millenium copyright act) violations. Basically the owner of the copyrighted music can file a violation if they decide they don't want their image used or certain songs put up.
Basically any artist or record company (attorneys) for that artist can claim a dmca notice on any footage put up on youtube. This is especially prevalent with tv shows. Sometimes youtube just removes it, otherwise if its the owner, they file a violation and your account gets a copyright strike. Youtube has a 3 strikes your out policy.
On my rideincircles account, I had over 1000 videos and most of it was concert footage. My collection spans the past 4 years of concerts and festivals I have been to. I am pretty sure I had about 200 or more bands on my account.
For the most part, most bands don't care about footage being uploaded, it's free advertising and makes fans happy. It's a great source of free promotion supported by fans. Only a few bands seem to care about videos being uploaded from shows.
I went about 3 years before I ever received my first strike. Just about 3 or 4 months ago, I got an email notice that a Bob Dylan at ACL 2007 video was flagged. I didn't do anything and then I got another notice one week later for another Bob Dylan video and I immediately removed my other Dylan videos. I wish I would have done it upon receiving my first notice.
I should have started a new account then, my account was in danger of getting shut down at this point. When I got back from Glastonbury I started uploading videos and my account was suddenly suspended with no notification. Once it is suspended, there is no way to check anything regarding your account and youtube has no customer service to my knowledge. Basically, your fucked.
So I have started over again, the only good thing is that I am now indexing all my videos so I know what I have. Otherwise, I lost hours of work putting my account together, building a subscriber base and all the views I had. It was up to 1.8 million views with around 500 of each subscribers and friends. Totally annoying having to redo everything.
Also, I got a dmca notice on my new account for uploading crystal castles footage at glastonbury. I am assuming that is what killed my account also. I don't see why it is a big deal now, since I had about 8 Crystal Castles videos up from bonnaroo and Funfunfunfest.
Anyways, that's all for now. I don't recommend uploading crystal castles or bob dylan footage to youtube which sucks. At least don't label it if you do.
If you are interested, I started off with Glastonbury 2010 and am now uploading my favorite videos from the past years. tons of bonnaroo and other festival stuff to be uploaded. I am trying to build up my subscribers again.

I haven't run into any problems yet....but a lot of the bands I post are smaller/less known. I'd gladly remove something that a band doesn't want to see but I haven't had any problems yet. Hopefully it stays that way. I don't see the problem with it. I'm not trying to make money off of it. Just want to share the experience.

The Paul Mccartney issue doesn't sound like a big deal.
This is what is an issue.

This is the one from my new account. Usually they send you an email, but I never received one for this or my account that was suspended.

To add another update to this, I received another copyright strike from Sleigh Bells after ACL from their Beauty Bar show. My offending clip was 12 seconds long and had 6 seconds of sound before the sound cut out. My video was about the sound issues at the show and their management did not like it being brought up so they flagged it.
In my opinion this should not have been flagged under basic fair use guidelines (less than 30 seconds of a song, same thing as apple itunes previews basically). Either way I was able to get ahold of them and I had to remove the content from that show since Sleigh Bells was unhappy with the way Beauty Bar handled the show (still not my fault). I had to file a youtube claim of non copyright infringing and after two weeks my violation was lifted.
Just fyi, unless you directly contact the owners of the copyrighted footage and try to do that you open yourself up to getting sued since a legal representation type of thing.
In other news, my rideincircles youtube account is now listed as terminated from copyright infringement. That account will never be restored. My new account has around 350 videos, but my old one had over 1000. I am trying to add most of my favorites, but some of the videos hardly ever get watched or lost their relevancy under the videos getting the most views. Annoying any way you slice it.
