YouTube has launched an upgraded rubber tool that allows content providers to easily remove copyrighted music from their videos.
The creators have the ability to exclude copyrighted music from the videos without affecting any other audio elements, such as conversation or sound effects.
Neal Mohan, the CEO of YouTube, announced the release of the improved Erase Song tool, which allows artists to effortlessly eliminate copyrighted music from their videos while preserving the rest of the audio.
YouTube, the expansive video streaming network owned by Google, acknowledged that its ongoing experimentation with the rubber tool may have had greater success in removing a copyrighted music.
YouTube’s latest technology utilises an artificial intelligence system to accurately detect and remove illegal sounds from a video, while leaving the rest of the audio intact.
YouTube cautions that on rare occasions, the algorithm may be unable to completely remove the song.
“This edit may not be effective if the song is difficult to remove.” The company suggested that if the tool fails to erase the claim on a video, users can explore alternative editing choices, such as muting the sound in the claimed areas or removing the claimed segments by trimming them.
Creators have the option to mute specific audio sections in their videos instead of completely removing them in order to address any potential copyright concerns. This addresses the copyright claim raised by YouTube’s automated detection system for copyrighted content.
