Read this news before using free music<\/span><\/figure>\n<div class=\"jsx-204852691 artbody\">\n<p>Nowadays, it has become very easy to make videos on YouTube and Instagram, but while using free music, a small mistake can put the entire channel in danger. Many new creators become happy after listening to free music, but after a few days suddenly a copyright strike comes. If there are three strikes, the channel may be deleted forever. Therefore, it is important to be very careful while using free music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a copyright strike?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you use any song or music in your video without permission, the real owner of the music complains to YouTube. YouTube calls it a copyright claim or strike. A claim stops the monetization of a video, while a strike is more serious. On receiving three strikes the channel is closed forever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow these rules when using free music<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul_block\">\n<li>Use YouTube Audio Library<\/li>\n<li>YouTube itself provides free music.<\/li>\n<li>Go to YouTube Studio and select music from &#8216;Audio Library&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>It is completely copyright free and has no impact on monetization.<\/li>\n<li>Sites like Epidemic Sound, Artlist or NCS<\/li>\n<li>These sites provide good quality music, but most of them are paid. If you are taking a free trial then keep in mind that you remove the music after the trial is over.<\/li>\n<li>Creative Commons (CC) Music<\/li>\n<li>Find CC licensed music on SoundCloud or Free Music Archive. Make sure to give credit in the description of the video, like \u2013 &#8216;Music by XYZ licensed under CC BY&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid No Copyright Music Channels<\/li>\n<li>Many channels provide music by writing &#8216;No Copyright Music&#8217; or &#8216;Royalty Free&#8217;, but later a claim arises. Don&#8217;t trust them.<\/li>\n<li\/>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Easy ways to avoid copyright strike<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol_block\">\n<li>Always take music from YouTube Audio Library or official Royalty Free sites.<\/li>\n<li>Before using any music, check its license.<\/li>\n<li>If a claim arises, use the Dispute option and provide correct evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Use more of your own original sound or voiceover.<\/li>\n<li>Use Meta&#8217;s Music Library or trending audio for Instagram Reels as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>What to do if a strike comes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t panic at the first strike. You can appeal by going to YouTube Studio. If the claim is made by mistake then in most of the cases the strike is removed. But handle the channel carefully before three strikes occur.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t lose your hard-earned channel in the name of free music. Always choose safe and copyright free music. YouTube Audio Library is the easiest and safest option. By choosing the right music, you can make good videos without any tension and keep the channel running for a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atawrap\">\n<h2 class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atahead\">About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899\">\n<div style=\"min-height:52px;margin:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" alt=\"authoring\" title=\"authoring\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/byline\/afreen-277.html\" class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afreen Afaq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afreen Afaq has started her career with Network 18 as a Tech Journalist, and has more than six years experience in &#8216;Mobile-Technology&#8217; beat.
