This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.?

I create homemade music videos and upload them to YouTube. So far, three of my videos have been successfully published and can be viewed, but my latest one is unavailable to the public. When I signed out and tried to figure out what happened, this message appeared on my YouTube screen: "This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." What does this mean? Why is it preventing people from viewing my video, and why didn't I encounter this issue with any of the other music videos I have made? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Universal (UMG) is one of the companies which is very aggressive in fighting piracy. They move quickly (using tracking software) to identify copyright infringement. not all music companies are as quick. Your other videos will probably be taken down, but it might take longer.

Meanwhile, you should stop posting copyright material. Your BEST outcome will be losing your YouTube account. The worst is being sued.

Why is everyone commenting so incredibly stupid? Read the damn post.. he said "homemade music videos".. never was it mentioned that the music was from someone else... So as for the UMG issue, I'm having the issue on a handful of videos that I've been watching a long time and now they're blocked.. not sure how to get around it or why its happening, especially since it was posted by the people that created it.

You may have been lucky on the first 3. You could still be sued later for copyright infringement. You are getting into dangerous territory.

You were lucky on the others.

UMG obviously keeps an eye of sites where their material may be used illegally.

They can sue you.

If it's not your own song, it it someone else's and you need to ask permission to use it.
