Hi, simple question. If I’m filming a concert (with permission) and they play a cover song, where do I stand with copyright if I put this video on YouTube?
thanks.
Politely?
You're shagged and Youtube will pull it probably.
Sorry.
simple answer . you should be ok (most other people attending will), but if you are doing the video for the band payed or unpaid , you should get permission to put the video out on social media
it’s more to do with the copyright of the original material. So the band can play cover songs, but if I broadcast it on YouTube, I’m guessing I’m not covered by the original artist.
I have a FB friend who posts videos of covers bands and he's forever whinging that they keep getting taken down.Politely?

It’s usually fine, YouTube have created a system to monetise the video if they detect copyrighted material, a claim is put against the video and any cash from ads goes to the copyright holder, so if they decide to do this, you will have adverts usually at the start of your video . or they can mute/ take it down.

It doesn't seem fair as the sound is one part of the video and the events have licensed that to perform already.
Presumably they have bought a licence for live performance, rather than recording and distribution?
That's how licences work. You pay according to the amount of use you want.
