YouTube MixTape videos - Who?/How?

So I see quite a lot of YouTube channels with hour long 'MixTapes' of various artists.

These seem to be compiled by individuals not record companies.

How are they bypassing copyright?

Who gets the monetisation funds?

Anyone have a clue how these are a thing?

    I don’t know for sure but my fuzzy understanding is...

    I think a lot of people just make these mix videos willy nilly (in this case I think they are all soundcloud tracks) upload them and then the Youtube histogram filter thingy auto detects tracks that are licensed to them and lists those tracks in the description. In this case three of them seem to be licensed to Youtube but I guess the rest are not? Not sure what the monetization deal is but I think the poster gets nothing and the artists maybe get their potential fractions of pennies. ? The others I guess are just screwed. I think making and posting mixes without someones permission is douchey. It seems some people think ‘well they put it online already so i can upload it wherever I want’.

    But I could be wrong and maybe they got all the soundclouders permission to make a youtube video.

  • I can’t imagine being in the position of some of these artists. In one sense: “yeah! My song is on a playlist mix that has been viewed 3 million times!” But if there is someone making ad revenue on my content... that would be frustrating.

    The example above started with a 2 minute add, then has 7 ad breaks in the 45 minute set. So... I pretty much hate the guy already. LOL.

    Ha, right!

    There's definitely monetisation from adds on the channel.

    Is that right? I just figured that was done by the uploader in the description.

    I believe it is something to do with...

    So i think if someone uses one of your tracks in a video and Youtube detects it (ala robot science AI future code thingy) then you, as the copyright owner, will get an alert and can simply click ‘yup’ and then the text gets added to the video and ads/revenue etc ensues. Haven’t done it myself but that is as near as I could figure it.

    Ah, that's interesting. Thanks for the link.

  • I’ve been in a handful of these videos and the content ID article is exactly correct. If you upload with distributors, many of them let you supply to Content ID just like you would Spotify. The add revenue goes to the artists that get the content ID (I’ve gotten a pleasantly surprising amount) unless the artist “whitelists” the channel, and that bypasses it, letting them just use it and then they can monetize it I believe.

    @BvsMV interesting info, thanks.

    BTW do you have music on Bandcamp?
