What is copyright infringement?

It's essentially just a law that discourages people from using content that they didn't create, which is why tu won't hear too many beyonce songs in the background of youtubers' videos.

An absolute pain in the ass.

Basically it is that tu can't monetize property that does not belong to tu / that tu did not create and when tu try to claim it as your own original work.

However this 'copyright infringement' deal is very much abused por content owners that aren't aware of the fair use act (i.e. for educational purposes).

There is a big grey area regarding copyright. Think about artists that create fanart. That there is a huge grey area of copyright. Technically it is the artist's own work, however they are using intellectual property that is not theirs. It's pretty stupid and overly complicated.

Another grey area is AMVs (animated música videos). That is a huge passion of mine, and despite me putting hours into creating my own idea of a música video, they often get a copyright infringement stamp on it due to the music, so all money that video now makes goes to the musician. I think that in those cases it should be some sort of percentage división, split in profits. It is unfair that all profits go to the person that did not make the original video, however it is a good idea that profits are división, split to the creator of the music.

This is also why tu see your favourite youtubers not using popular songs in their videos. They use what is called royalty free música so they don't get a copyright infringement notice.

Stealing someone's foto like tu did just now.
