I got remonetized and stopped doing it. I removed claimed tracks with editor so I can monetize with adsense. Did you make any money with it? I was doing it for about three weeks only so I didn't see any money out of it
yea ive made about $1.5k with it

I found a reddit user who has received the exact same message and from their most recent reply 1 month ago they haven't gotten an update in months + can't withdraw their money:
I can only guess that it could be an issue if you use Routenote as a distributor since both aaddyy227 and the redditor used them.
Another poster in that thread who also used Routenote received the same message and claims they do it on purpose in order to steal your money.

I'm really curious about this too since I have a friend who has just started to use this method. I haven't heard of anyone running into any issues until I saw aaddyy227's post about the message from the distributor.
Can someone with experience in this method clear the air? Are there more potential risks/consequences besides channel termination?

get more accounts and keep doing it. so when one account gets banned, rinse and repeat with the next.
spam youtube and scam max money from them with this methid until they fix their stupid copyright system, which allows trolls to fake copyright strike/claim u .etc

I'm curious if this is just Routenote being especially careful or if YouTube is actually cracking down on this. I understand why it would make YT angry but to my mind it's totally legitimate to get a piece of the revenue if you own the copyright to music in the video. You aren't claiming to own the whole video, just the song. If YT really cared then they would just ban compilation channels entirely or actually demonetize them instead of running ads on them and keeping 45%.
In my experience repost type channels generally only get banned if they're super spammy. I could see YouTube cracking down on this though because some people take it to far and just repost entire songs that are trending and then slap 40 seconds of cheesy Casio keyboards at the end that make it a little too obvious what they're doing.

I think it has to be just Routenote because I haven't seen anyone else run into this issue. Maybe YouTube has been trying to contact these music distribution companies to help crack down on this method but they either have been ignored or very little action has been taken. In my experience I have dealt with a few shady music distributors (one disabled their support email and ticket system and ignore all requests on social media lol) and they're still allowed to use YouTube's content ID system.
There's a lot of money involved here so that's probably why YouTube hasn't taken any drastic measures yet because at the end of the day YouTube is still getting a cut of that money regardless of how it was earned lol (also explains why they haven't demonetized all the big compilation channels). Even if YouTube "fixes" their copyright system, people will always find a way to abuse it.
I also think this method is legitimate because you're only claiming your content in the video, not the other content in the video. It was YouTube that decided you should get an even split of the ad revenue earned regardless of how the content was used in the video.YouTube can terminate your channel for using copyrighted content but it won't stop anyone from creating a new channel and doing the same thing again.
The only way YouTube can stop this method permanently in my opinion is if they didn't allow small / independent music distributors access to the content ID system. Of course doing so would hurt their ability to compete against Spotify, Apple Music, etc since they allow small / independent music distributors to use their service and monetize their streams. People do similar methods on Spotify, Apple Music etc and they haven't been able to figure out a solution to permanently stop them.

Hi there, I'm new from my knowledge you get a certain number of strikes than you may get terminated
I talked with one person who monetized films produced by large companies through musical partnerships. Several months ago, music distributors (including Routenote) wrote to him, and they said they would sue him. Have music distributors written to anyone else that they are preparing for lawsuits?

why would they sue him when he has to use routenote to claim for him.
if they would have a problem with him they could just deisable his account or stop claiming for him.
or idk the situation exactly

This is the third time I heard about this but nothing has happened yet. I think they're threatening people so they can stop but they won't take any action. Maybe it's because he's was trying to monetize big movies? Movie studios don't mess around lol.
Also how can they tell it's you who is uploading the videos? Someone on Reddit got a similar message from their distributor even though they had never used the copyright claim method
Yeah it would be way too easy for YouTube to accidentally permanently ban some teenager who makes beats and thought he was just helping his friend with a meme compilation channel, and then they'd have a huge PR issue on their hands that they couldn't easily explain. Not to mention a potential lawsuit. I'm guessing there are certain distributors that don't want to get a bad industry reputation so they're getting out in front of it, which is perfectly reasonable. YouTube and big corporations like TuneCore don't want to take any action that actually involves human review and an algorithm is too stupid to figure it out without accidentally banning a bunch of innocent people, plus it makes them money and I doubt the labels care because they get paid too. That said, monetizing a feature film by modifying it to get around Content ID is a completely different issue, you're taking money from the studios and they will be mad and then come after the distributor and then they will come after you. Be smart.
