  • Live streaming event with copyrighting music

    Posted by John Morfesis on October 1, 2020 at 2:30 am

    I was asked to live stream on youtube an event with a lot of copyright music.

    How do you handle these kind of jobs. Do you turn them down?

    You tell the client that youtube will shut them down and you can provide an alternate solution. Why youtube? What’s the requirement of the job?

    Alternatively, you can add $1M (or more) to the budget and get clearances on everything.

    YouTube are very strict on unauthorized use of Copyrighted music. Don’t mess with them – you could end up being banned from YouTube as well.
