So, I am making a new Youtube channel for the uploading of videos showing let's play/walkthroughs of old games, you know, PS1/N64-ish.. And I just graduated from high school last week, so I need to save some money up for college. There aren''t really a lot of job openings where I live, so I've turned to the Youtube Partner Program, which offers monetization for the ads that get clicked on in your videos. But my feelings about are shaky because of what I read in this one article about the program. It says that:
"Every monetized video comes with a small survey that you’re asked to fill out. This helps Google determine if your video contains anything that may be subject to copyright. Music playing in the background, video game images, screenshots of programs and art that you didn’t make, and considerations need to be documented before you hit that monetize button. If you answer dishonestly, you could have your video removed from YouTube and risk losing your ability to monetize your channel entirely."
You see, normally I wouldn't be so worried about copyright infringement because I wouldn't have anything to lose. But since there's money involved, that kind of ups the stakes for me a little bit because I haven't undertaken this kind of venture before. Do I have to get copyrights from all the companies of the games I will be showing? Because if that's the case, then I don't know how I'm going to be able to show some of my videos, because some of the games that I'm going to be recording have companies that I'm SURE don't exist anymore. Like for example, Syphon Filter was created by 989 Studios and Eidetic. I think I read somewhere that both of the companies went out of business and another company bought the series? Is that true? Also, if one of you has experience in this area, will you please tell me what Google will or won't accept without copyrights? Because I need the extra money reeeaalllyyy badly...
Thanks!

They won't give you a "Survey".
You just sign up for monetization.
Then, your videos should be automatically monetized (unless it senses copyrighted music.)
