Hello! I’m planning to create a website where music artists can send their tracks to YouTube channels, requesting that the channels upload the artist's music. The challenge I’m facing is how to prevent copyright strikes from YouTube.
One solution is to whitelist the channel, but that’s not ideal since the website wouldn’t have access to the distributors of every song being sent to another YouTube channel. Another option is using sync licensing, but I believe that would incur costs for each song.
So, my main question is: Would YouTube remove a copyright strike if the website personally provides a document stating that the artist has granted permission for the song to be uploaded and used in a video on another YouTube channel? The goal is to supply enough data to YouTube and the channel owner to protect them from copyright strikes, should they accept to feature the artist’s music.
