So as annoying as it may be, and as morally wrong it may seem, Sony is within their rights ot do what they are doing.
I dont know what Youtube legal contracts are with creators, so i cant comment on whether the creator can object to the claims, but since its just a database of free songs i would bet no legally binding contract was digitally signed. Now they sold the rights, the new owner can now claim royalties for future use, and since people have made vids using said song and they are still online and being monetized, the new owner can claim royalties from any views (use) after the transition period.

Youtube had the rights, and was letting people use it for free outside of any contractual agreement (as far as im ware). If however a person or company is using the track without an agreed contract, then if you so choose, u may then say "ok time to start paying up or u stop using it". Purchasing the rights to a track means accepting all currently obligated contracts with other parties. If som1 or some company was using it prior to ur purchase, if their contractual agreement gives them rights to use it for a given amount of it, which it should do in a legit agreement, You as the new owner must comply with said contract, as the contract is with the rights holder. If u bought rights to 'Stairway to haven' u can demand royalties from all future use of the track. Taking royalties from the youtuber in this specific case amounts to theft in my book.Īgain, these are issues with youtube and not copyright law.

I think the issue here is that the youtuber is losing all royalties when in reality a original terms of the license probably should be honored until legal precedent is set or causes a change. But with copyright laws, nope, the new owner of the parent rights doesn't need to respect your license a shit but can extort you legally with their "rights" and usually that somebody else is in position where you have no chances to take the case to the court without getting some really big guns behind you.ĭoes that mean if I buy the rights to led's stairway to heaven I can demand all royalties from all air time and record sales from that point on? Like you had licensed to make EpiPens somewhere in the 90's or very early 00's and you had complete freedom in your pricing, Mylan in the 2007 couldn't do shit against you pricing your EpiPens 40$ for two and basicly saying "Fuck You, Mylan!" when they hiked the price from 100$ to 600$ (in US). Anywhere else, if you have licensed something under certain agreement at one time and that original patent/whatever is sold to somebody else later, that somebody else must respect your license to the letter. This is one of those parts of the copyright laws that make the whole laws morally worth less than toilet paper (actually really crappy toilet paper because printing paper usually isn't good for your butt).
In which case Sony is required to honor the previous agreement.

That is UNLESS the song in use was used under contractual agreement that allows full use for set period, including 'forever', prior to sale to Sony. So while its a crappy move by Sony, they have the right. While Sony cannot claim compensation for past earnings from the Song, having now acquired the rights to it, any future use, and thus continued use on the videos currently available, is subject to copyright laws.
