Hello,

I got my 3 videos copyright claimed moment after I uploaded it and in all I used royalty free music from Pixabay with credits given.

Do you also had the same problem and can you recommend where could I get free music for Youtube videos with monetization.

Thanks
 
It could be fake content ID claims. Did you dispute the claim or removed the videos?

I found out many people just upload content ( music ) on pixabay that are not really royalty free. I tried to google some songs from pixabay and I found out they are not royalty free at all. Some1 just uploaded them there.

This must be their business model. They content ID claim some songs and then publish them in sites like Pixabay for others to use them. You should stick to royalty free music within Youtube to avoid such issues.

Can I somehow download to put it in my project to maybe make it less loud for my speech ?

I did download some songs in the past. I didn't check if it still works. iirc there was an option to download mp3 soundtrack within YT content creator dashboard.
 
Recently I also got some content claims for music used in my videos uploaded 2 years back. I usually use AudioLibrary CC music. I don't know if the original music owners changed the licence terms later or if it is a fake claim.
 
Are you sure that it was the music in the video that was claimed or the video content?
 
Off recent people upload on pixabay to copyright
Did you remove it

Yes and only small part of the aong. When i removed only that part they claimed another small part of 10sec and so on until i removed full song

remove the song and edit in another 1 that isnt claimable
 
I'd suggest using the Youtube Audio library instead, at least then you can be 100% sure.
 
Definitely only trust the YouTube library or subscription based companies like Motion Array. I have been stung by Motion array a few times, but you can report it and have it removed. So it can be trustworthy.

Always worth uploading the video prior to going live to ensure no claims. Sometimes the claim can come after time, but that's always the risk online. The ultimate way to ensure no repercussions is to have your music custom made.

Well said

Try the free resource I use: bensound.com

Just make sure you pick audio that is marked "DOWNLOAD"

As long as you are just using them for youtube vids and not audiobooks, you should be fine
