In the recent past, we have experienced a couple of musicians’ songs being muted or deleted from YouTube. The latest singers to be affected are Kahu$h and Chris Kaiga, whose Mastingo was muted a few days after talented singer Nadia Mukami’s, Tesa, was re-uploaded.
Many songs are muted or deleted from YouTube as a result of a copyright claim from the original music’s creator. This means that you can avoid receiving such claims by getting permission from the creator to upload their music. Contact the artiste to discuss what you need to do to upload her song. Trying to claim fair use, giving credit to the creator or purchasing the content yourself is not the same as getting permission, and your video can still be taken down.
