On tonight’s riveting episode of “Young Entrepreneurs who know what’s up”: love, tragedy, and gaming videos.
You see, there once was a young visionary by the name of Billy Woodford who really liked to upload videos of himself playing video games to YouTube. Not that special, right? I mean, YouTube is crowded with lackluster “Let’s Play” videos where squeaky voiced teens cuss at Call of Duty like a sailor. The great problem that such entertainers face is that they are often harassed by music companies for royalties and copyright qualms.
Woodford wasn’t about to put up with that corporate malarky. He was intent on doing things his own way.
Woodford created NoCopyrightSounds, a record label which allows YouTubers to access its catalog for free. NoCopyrightSounds generates advertising revenue from Spotify and YouTube, and has been profitable for nearly its entire life span. So, boys and girls, what is the less to be derived? Record labels are evil. No, that’s not it. Let’s try that again. If there’s an issue you face, understand that it can usually become overcome through innovation and ambition if you are inclined to do so. My man Woodford started a business to overcome his issue. So use that as your example. Get out there and start leaping over large metaphorical walls.
This is pretty cool, i never knew music industries could go after you tube video creators for copyrights,
What a cool concept. It is really true. Often in gaming video’s copyright is a big issue. Gamers may film an hour stream or longer and sites will cut out large portions of sound due to copyrighted music or use of the game. It’s good to see an entrepreneur (young at that!) who wants to take control of this issue.
