body: There is a transcription of a song <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfcS-w808dM> that I put in a video. Youtube obviously noted me that it is copyrighted and told me that it might put ads in my video. Can transcriptions actually have a copyright as they are not original compositions? If not, would I still need to get permission from the original author?
