Blood Sweat & Tears!!! (Early Access) (Patreon)

Good Morning CCW PRIMOS!! 

In an unfortunate turn of events (for youtube), we weren't able to get the video uploaded today. Some videos give us more trouble than others when it comes to copyright. It is 1 am our time and we still haven't had luck. I (in this case DANIEL) try very hard to adhere to our schedule for the sake of all our viewers but in this case we just needed to concede and give it a bit more time.

But luckily for our amazing Patrons we have another way of providing the video 😊. And I'd like to personally say, most patrons are extremely understanding and constantly remind us to go at our pace and not overwork. So thank you 🙏🏼

However what this does do, is provide us a good opportunity to give a quick run down on our stance with copyrights. We are not against leaving an uploaded youtube video with an active copyright. In fact, several of our videos do have copyrights on them today. However, as we have seen with other channels, when there are multiple of these especially back to back, you run the risk of your channel getting a strike. This is the main reason we (along with our editor) work hard at trying to avoid copyrights all together (also one reason we pause to discuss). But lately, pausing has not been enough. 

There are a few myths when it comes to copyright that we'd like to address: 

"If you leave the BIGHIT logo at the beginning, it will not get a copyright"
Nearly every MV we've uploaded has gotten a copyright and some have gotten a block. This may have been the case before, but so far this has not been the case for us. 

"I saw so and so channel post this video with no pause breaks and they don't have issues"
There are several possibilities for this. For starters, youtube is constantly changing their algorithm when it comes to copyright. So what may have worked a few weeks/months ago, may not work now. We experienced this first hand with our RUN BTS episode. We've also seen some of our videos get completely blocked despite our best efforts while other channel uploads are live with no issue on youtube (It can also be the case that other channels are willing To take more risks when it comes to their channel). We don't really have an answer for this except to say youtube seems to occasionally target a group of channels every now and then. We aren't the only ones who have experienced this. Sometimes it just seems to come down to luck. We have also benefited from this in the past where some videos gave us no issue. 

"If you turn off monetization, you won't get a copyright"
This is not true. Even with monetization disabled, a video can get a copyright, blocked, and/or your channel can still get a strike. As we said before we don't know why it's more strict sometimes vs others, but in a perfect world we'd like to have our channel free of copyrights. 

"Blur the video / Make it transparent / put words over it like COPYRIGHT"
Although this does help on occasion, it isn't a guaranteed solution. It's always our last resort since it affects the viewing experience the most in our opinion. 

With all that being said, this is all still trial and error so hopefully we have fewer issues like these come up. And thank you to all our supporters out there who continually have our backs 😊

******* ABOUT THE VIDEO *******
There's not much to say except the fact that we're in a constant state of wonder but mostly CONFUSION 😅. We did our best to talk through it but woh..... There is SOOO MUCH MORE left to explore. And we CAN'T WAIT! 😁
