White Bat Audio

Hello Everyone!

As of May 31, 2024, I will be implementing an automated 'Content ID' detection software for my library of music to protect its safe usage and to stop others from fraudulently claiming copyright on YouTube videos that use my music.

This means that things will REMAIN THE SAME for those who use my music here on YouTube:

- A simple credit of “Music by Karl Casey”, “Music by White Bat Audio” or tagging my YouTube channel @whitebataudio in the video description is enough.
- The credit MUST be in the video description as the content ID software detects text in the description only.
- This content ID system is for YouTube ONLY.
- It will ONLY make a copyright claim, NOT a copyright strike. Your channel will not be in any danger of strikes.
- if you haven’t credited me and need to do so, here is how to edit multiple video descriptions at once:


BULK UPDATE VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS
If you need to update a lot of videos, in YouTube Studio follow these steps.
1. Open Content Tab
2. Select videos you want to update (or select all)
3. Click Edit > Description
4. Select where you want it to be added to (Insert at end for example)
5. Add text
6. Click 'Update Videos


If credit is not given properly, then you will likely receive a copyright claim.

If you receive a copyright claim when using my music and you're sure that you've credited me correctly in the description, you can simply fill out this form and the claim will be removed/dealt with very quickly: forms.gle/X5QvKPN1YEx7eiKV7

Once you've filled out the above form, you can dispute the claim on YouTube and it will be dropped.

Or, if we had previously set up an agreement where credit couldn’t be placed in the video description for a specific reason, then simply reach out to me via email (karl@whitebataudio.com) and I can personally whitelist your video/channel so you will not be affected.

I want my music to be an accessible and trustworthy source of free-to-use music, so I am excited to be able to protect my work while offering you all a solid, reliable music library that won’t be hit with fraudulent copyright claims from others.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Cheers,

Karl

Hi karl. I was recently just hit with a copyright claim from "interstreet recordings we are era music bv" on my video "Dont Starve Player Tries Project Zomboid For The First Time" for using your song "Hackers" You were credited in the description of my video under the list of songs I used for that video. Heres the excerpt of where in my description I put your song names under: Songs i used. if i missed one, lemme know with a timestamp and ill fix it: White Bat Audio - Hackers (by Karl Casey) White Bat Audio - Scavenger Dystopian Dark Synthwave mix I assumed this would be fine, as its crediting both you and your channel but if its a fault on my part in regards to the description, what else would I need to add in order to make it safe? I don't mind also adding a link to the song itself along with a link to your channel if thats whats needed for the claim to drop(and of course to be amended to all future videos with your music in it).

Everything you said in that description to update us as Content Creators is why I love you and your channel... That and the music slaps. Thank you so much for being such a huge asset!

I use one of your YouTube mixes as my intro/break/outro music for my stream. Credit and your link always given multiple times during the stream. Never had a copyright strike with the exception of a single warning. Apparently, there was an issue with one track that someone else was claiming in your mix and the video got muted for the couple minutes. Other than that, smooth sailing. Thank you for everything that you do!

Hey, brother, thank you for your great music! I've been using it for less than a year in all my episodes, and I always give you the credit in the video description! You rock. Blessings to you and your family! Myths, Mysteries, and Majesty

You are awesome. I'm not a content creator but I ride my motorcycle while listening to your dark synth wave and pretend I'm in Bladerunner. ☺️

Good on you. Your music is phenomenal and deserves the proper recognition. People are so quick to steal content, scam, or profit off of another’s work. It’s really unfortunate, but I’m glad you’re protecting your work. I use your playlists in a lot of my videos, always giving credit, and I love it. Thank you and keep it up.

I first heard your music in a short about painting miniatures. They credited you and that's how I found your channel to subscribe to. I've been enjoying your music ever since. Thank-you 🤘
