Because there’s a set of copyrights to protect the writers of songs for the lyrics/melody that they've created, you can receive a claim if you sing a song a cappella (regardless of the quality of your vocals--although, tbh, we were impressed). More info: http://goo.gl/ESkbsb
That's BS and you know it! they are just abusing your system. you can play/sing/hum one note of a song and they would try to copy right it. claims should only be based on if they use the actual music! other wise people that don't use youtube would be getting sued for it as well!
That's not the law. Lyrics and melody have their own copyright. Single lines usually don't, but Jack sang 4-5 lines with signature vocalisations. Courts have ruled in the past that this isn't fair use. This isn't abuse, it's the law, unfortunately.
Then sue the fucking music industry, they use loopholes to cheat the system and the law shouldn't just favor one group or company. This isn't the gilded age
People have tried. I'm sure if the music industry ever loses they then proceed to lobby for tighter regulations. These laws are decades old and the music industry has always been known to be ruthless. Laws favour big companies, just look up Mickey Mouse and copyright.
Yeah I just wish it would change because so many youtubers I watch now are getting claimed on all of their videos being manually viewed by petty music people looking for anyway to make more money
People doing this professionally are going to need to buck up on legal stuff to protect themselves. I'm actually surprised Jacksepticeye didn't already know this, a creator his size should have a lawyer. Once you really know how fair use works then claims are easy enough to avoid
I agree, sorry for coming off rude in my comments
