The song-limit boost is YouTube’s latest attempt to woo TikTok creators (and therefore viewers and ad dollars) onto Shorts. Some police officers have even exploited the DMCA to their advantage, blasting Taylor Swift songs to prevent bystanders from sharing their legally recorded videos. For example, creators have seen their videos flagged for accidentally including a few seconds of copyrighted audio from a passing car’s stereo.
Record labels often automate their copyright enforcement, leading to overzealous claims. The new song-length options begin rolling out today and will continue “over the next few weeks” on iOS and Android.Īs user-created videos have exploded during the past decade, aggressive DMCA takedown notices have become a headache for streamers on all platforms. Creators can quickly see how much time each song allows in the YouTube app’s audio picker. YouTube says its short-form creators will be able to use between 30 and 60 seconds of licensed music “for most tracks.” However, some songs will remain on the previous 15-second limit, with licensing agreements determining which tracks fall in which window. The change is a significant boost from the previous 15-second limit for any licensed song. In YouTube’s latest move to woo TikTok creators onto YouTube Shorts, the streaming giant announced today that short-term video creators would soon be allowed up to a minute of copyrighted music in their Shorts.
