I noticed a cover musician complaining about getting a content ID match earlier today, and I realized that I see a lot of misunderstandings about the copyright system. This livestream is a request for cover musicians of all genres to share their understanding of copyrights for cover music and their experiences with content ID.

In the livestream, I discuss the basics of content ID for youtube cover musicians, why content ID should be seen as a good thing (especially when more copyright owners are enabling revenue share), the challenges of assuming fair use applies in cover music, and the challenges of fair use in general.
