If you received a copyright claim from Youtube for using my music, don't worry! Just read below to quickly resolve the issue.
First of all, thanks so much for choosing my music - it really means a lot!
My music is released under a CC-BY licence. This means you can use it for free, even on monetised videos. The only thing I ask is that you properly credit me.
In the past I had issues with people stealing my music. Due to that, I have implemented a "Smart Content ID" system to prevent this from happening. The system finds videos with my music in it and checks the description for proper credits. If proper credits are present, nothing happens. Otherwise, a claim is issued.
It's really easy! You can do so by simply crediting me and the track title in your YouTube video description, including a link to my YouTube channel. For instance, a good credit would look like this:
Music used: The Travelling Symphony by Savfk - www.youtube.com/@savfkmusic
I also ask you to subscribe to my YouTube channel (you need to sign in to Google before you can do so):
Finally, simply dispute your claim on YouTube to get the claim released!
Please remember to follow the steps above before disputing the claim, or your dispute may be rejected. And remember for your future videos, if you properly credit me when uploading a new video, you will not get a claim at all!
I am really sorry this is happening! Unfortunately the system is not perfect. If you followed all these instructions and you are still receiving a claim, please send me an email with a link to your video (my email address: savfkmusic at gmail dot com) and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your continued support..!
