**How do YouTubers manage to upload football and TV highlights without running into copyright infringement problems?**
The Fair Use doctrine allows YouTubers to use copyrighted material for educational, review, commentary, or parody purposes without the copyright holder's permission.
YouTube's Content ID system is used to enforce copyright, and when a match is found, a copyright claim is automatically issued, which can lead to the video being monetized by the copyright owner or the audio being muted.
YouTubers can avoid copyright claims by using royalty-free music, music in the public domain, or getting the proper license to use popular music from the artist.
The YouTube Audio Library has a variety of music and sound effects that can be used for free, which can help avoid copyright claims.
YouTubers can also use original content, such as recording their own background music and creating their own graphics and animations, to avoid copyright issues.
Even if a video is manipulated, such as being flipped or shrunk, the Content ID system can still match it and issue a copyright claim.
If a copyright claim is received, the video may be monetized by the copyright owner, or the audio may be muted.
To defend against copyright claims, YouTubers can argue that their use of copyrighted material is fair use, such as by adding original commentary or critique.
Getting permission from the copyright holder or using licensed material can also help avoid copyright issues.
Uploading copyrighted material without permission can result in civil penalties, including lost profits and statutory damages, which can range from $750 to $30,000 per work infringed.
Willful infringement can increase damages to $150,000 per work infringed.
Manual copyright claims can still be made, even if the Content ID system doesn't detect a match, so it's essential to ensure that all material used is either original or licensed.
