right,. but apparently you can also make income off your covers on youtube as well,. as long as the rights holder approves by claiming the copyright on youtube and agreeing to let you continue,. at that point all parties get a cut of the ad revenue. __and sync licenses aren't being obtained here either,. (it would be pointless anyway, as the potential income would seldom if ever match the licensing fees) In your case Chili,. if you have your song registered and can provide copy of sheet or other proof,. you could have disputed the claim,. and once settled,. monitized your you tube video with ads,. ($2-3 per 1000 views on average,I think)
But details on this process are hiding in the shadows,. and you wont find a list of which songs or labels are playing nice anywhere either At least I havn't). My very basic understanding is something like this,. your like a band playing covers in a bar/venue thats setup with ascap, but only for some songs, and nobody has a list,. depending on which songs you choose, you either get paid or sued. bartender says your best bet is to come check out what songs other bands there are playing cause they havn't got sued YET,.Lol,. crazy.
