Monetize AMV

Postby AllegoryStark » Sun Feb 15, 2015 7:26 pm

I'm doing AMV for a while and each video, Youtube ask authorization of the commercial rights. First, can I a profit doing AMV ? If I can, where did I find the right of the audio and video ?

That would be very serious copyright infringement if you start monetizing your amvs on YT, because you do not legally own the rights to the sources you have used in them.

You can profit from an AMV. Just get the written ok from whoever owns the rights of the anime in Japan as well as the artist of the song you are using. Good luck with that.

Also because you'll most likely post it on YouTube, Google will want a cut of whatever money you make from the ads. The anime rights owner will want a cut as well. Oh and of course the musical artist will ask for a percentage or so.

Most likely not. I lost my old YouTube AMV channel years ago due to copyright infringement.

US distributors like Viz and FUNimation are cool with AMVs, but the Japanese parent companies like Toei, etc are not.

Shhhh I was trying to give OP a 0.00001% chance that maybe they could monetize if they do get the rights.
