Registration License for Online Content Creators

 

Are you a musician looking to share your self-produced recordings on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or other digital platforms? A recording license grants you the right to publish videos and audio recordings of pieces published by Les Productions d’Oz and Doberman-Yppan, while ensuring a minimum level of compensation for composers, arrangers, and publishers.

How do copyrights work on YouTube?

 

Legally: you have to pay.

 

When an artist records and releases a recording of a copyrighted work, they must obtain a mechanical license for the use of the composition. These rights are generally managed by collective rights management organizations such as SOCAN DR (Canada), SACEM (France), ASCAP (United States), PRS (United Kingdom), etc.

  • Example: If a guitarist records Granada, Suite Española Op. 47 arranged by David Russell and releases it on a streaming platform (Spotify, Apple Music) or YouTube, they must obtain a mechanical license through organizations such as SOCAN DR in Canada.

 

A Facilitated Process

 

Publish your performances with a clear conscience! The Productions d'Oz recording license allows you to easily and affordably obtain the rights necessary to share your videos on social networks, streaming platforms and YouTube. No need to get lost in the complex procedures of management companies: a simple, direct solution designed for artists who want to focus on their music, not on administrative work!

YouTube Content ID: An Evolving System

 

What is Content ID?

 

YouTube has an automatic detection system that recognizes copyrighted music. It connects with rights management companies, which in some cases allows for video monetization and redistributing revenue to rights holders.

If Content ID detects a work, YouTube can:

  • Leave the video online and return advertising revenue to the rights holders.
  • Block the video in certain countries.
  • Prohibit monetization for artists who cover it.

 

Content ID and classical music: a system of little benefit?

 

In the classical field, this system generates little revenue, as it is based on popularity and listening volume. Furthermore, since it only detects sound recordings, it is not suitable for works available in sheet music form, such as classical music.
