How do you avoid copyright claims on your videos?
I'm not really sure. Being a part of an MCN (Multi-Channel Network) seems to help. They give you a little more protection, or so I was told by Adam over at Your Movie Sucks. I've had plenty of Content ID claims on my videos, but only a few actual takedowns. When I appeal takedowns, they've always been reinstated within 10 days. I think having voiceover above almost every single moment of the video helps too. But to be honest, I've been very, very lucky and I don't know exactly why. There is a lot of communication between all the film analysis/review channels and we try to help one another out. What's important is that we're confident that what we do is Fair Use. We don't upload movies in full. We don't use films as b-roll in our videos. If we use a clip, we comment on it. That's Fair Use. We also know that won't stop assholes from coming after us, but we're on the right side of the law. It's good to be on the right side of the law if actual lawyers need to get involved. |

Creative Commons (CC) licenses allow creators the ability to communicate what rights they reserve, and what rights they waive for the benefit of recipients/creators (YOU). By using CC, you will get access to high quality work and know how to properly attribute/use said work as originally intended. Just a bit of a warning, some creators have given their works CC licenses that do not actually belong to them, or they are not the original copyright holder (Ms. Barker does not encounter too may of these cases, but they do happen so just be aware).
The Public Domain is the perfect place to find media for your magazine articles and presentations. There are 100% no restrictions and no copyright claims on these works. Luckily, more and more creators are releasing their works to the public so you will find that all of the websites below have high quality photos (even hipster Instagram worthy photographs). One note, Royalty Free is not Copyright Free. Royalty Free means that you must pay for a license to use that work for a continued amount of time (like Getty Images and most stock photo websites) - again this is not in the Public Domain.
