When should you seek permission to use copyrighted work?

Question: When should you seek permission to use copyrighted work?

  • While the video is being transcoded for use
  • Before you upload your video to YouTube
  • After the video has received at least 100 views
  • When you monetize your video

Explanation

Authorization is required when someone else’s protected work is used in a YouTube video. Copyright owners control how their work is copied, distributed, performed, or included in new content. Waiting until a video is processed, viewed, or monetized does not create usage rights. Without permission or another valid legal basis, the upload may receive a Content ID claim or copyright removal request.

Why the other options are incorrect

Transcoding is incorrect because technical processing does not determine whether usage rights exist.

100 views is incorrect because view count has no effect on copyright permission requirements.

Monetization is incorrect because copyright permission can be required even when a video is not monetized.
