If you remix a music track, and upload it to YouTube, will they remove it?

highly unlikely unless the video goes viral, and even then as long as you state it's a remix or " " artist,they probably will not care

If you change the speed of the song, can it be called remix and will they take it down because copyright? Thanks!

You can state whatever you want, won't change a thing.

If you upload a remix to youtube and don't have the written permission of the original copyright holders to publicize it, they can take it down & there's nothing you can do about it.

they can but it's not likely that they will

depends on the artist/record label. I know if you try and post your own remix to any Calvin Harris tracks, they wont be up long, and I know that one from experience.

if it is moderately well known u will get a song id copyright notice from youtube...from that point its the labels discretion if it gets removed or is subject to fees

happened about 2 years ago to me...and the video still stands

You will likely be able to post the song but will not be able to monetize the video via Adsense, for example. It will simply flag it as "video matched third party content". It is up to the record label's discretion as to whether or not they allow it to stand. In some cases, it may be blocked in some countries...or worldwide. It just depends. If the remix completely fools the YT/Google algo into thinking that it's a completely different song, you're golden. But don't count on it.

My buddy likes to dj and he has 8 or 9 mixes up that are about 5 minutes each withj 3 or 4 songs per remix in them. They have been up 4ever but he does not monetize them.
