The online site you posted your video to (such as YouTube) has identified some content in your video that belongs to someone else – in this case, it is music that belongs to us. Sound Ideas participates in the Content ID programs which monitor all uploads to YouTube and similar online sites and searches for audio content that matches its catalog.
The Content ID technology exists so that: (a) music publishers can identify videos that include their music, (b) the site can generate revenue by placing ads on those identified videos, (c) the site can share that ad revenue with Content ID partners like Sound Ideas and its composers; and (d) YouTube can use this ad revenue stream so it can continue to provide its video sharing site for free.
You may have received this copyright violation notice from The Orchard. They work with us and many other composers and publishers to monitor music use online. While you own your video, you do not own our music.
If you licensed the music from Sound Ideas for this use, contact your production consultant by email. Your consultant will confirm your license and start the process to have the notice removed from your video. In your email, please make sure to give us the URL for your video, relevant information about your license and the best way to contact you.
You should be aware that there is some music that we may not be able to clear. Music from Music CDs with an SM number below 200 (i.e.: SM001 through SM199) is music we have published on a non-exclusive basis. If the copyright violation notice you received is from The Orchard, we will be able to clear the notice (as explained above). If the copyright violation notice you received in NOT from The Orchard, we may not be able to assist you.
