Interesting news lately, on Wednesday I had an e-mail from Youtube about an animation I've done three years back called Ning Nang Nong (video below), which has over 15,000 hits recently. They asked if you want your video making money via revenue share will be paid through the AdSense account that you provided by Google.
First I've have an account on GoogleAdSense, which need to be approve by them, which I did. Then Youtube wanted to know any info, if it was any copyright such as: is it your own video so forth. the problem I had was them was the Lyrics (the poem was by Spike Milligan) and so a few days, Youtube e-mailed back saying:"Regarding the poem itself:
We haven't been able to confirm from the information that you've given us
that you have the necessary rights, including publicity rights, to use all the video material and music commercially, so we ask that you provide written documentation substantiating your claim.
So overall I need the rights owner if its OK (oh by the way, Spike Millligan has been dead for over 15 years), which I can't get, but they say I can keep it on Youtube, but I had to withdraw it from the Revenue Share Videos list, by clicking the Disable Revenue Sharing button, which is quite nice still, but a shame, had still had an oppertuity of getting money for my animations in the future, but still the animation is on Youtube, if you want to see it.
You can't win them all. New Blog soon, bye.
