What is the deal with CD Baby and YouTube?

Hi there,

We have just set up a new YouTube channel called thecrossover.tv and are featuring unsigned artists. We are not at the monetization stage yet but just got a copyright notice from CD Baby as one of the artists on the channel registered their song with them. How can we work around this? If the artist has registered it with CD baby, does that mean the band cannot perform on another platform without sharing revenues with CD Baby?

Thanks for your help.

I believe the band would need to contact CDbaby and tell them it's ok. There's an option when you use them for distribution that let's CDbaby check for unauthorized copies and sampling. Since you have the band's permission, they need to let CDbaby know so you don't get dinged for it.
