4. How This Policy Impacts You

If you violate this policy by uploading musical content without first securing the necessary rights, this will constitute a material breach of our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.

You may be subject to a takedown notice from music rights holders and we may also take action under our Community Guidelines and / or our Terms of Use. In addition, we may mute any videos that contravenes this policy or if our automated content filtering systems detect that audio in a video contains potentially unauthorised music.
