Copyright problems
So, I run a music channel and I keep getting copyright strikes on my covers because I exceed 10k views every time (and I don't use any copyright cards in my videos). The problem is, I can't move to the 2 room loft because I don't make enough money, and it caused my last save to get stuck in an infinite game over loop, but I can't make more money because to resolve the copyright, I need to pay $150 - $200 every time, and I don't make that much money from my videos, and I spend too much time with temp jobs that my relationships and my subscribers decrease. I don't make many original songs because I always get dislikes for not being famous enough (which is f***ing ridiculous btw. It makes more sense if I get a boost in views/subs for a good song. Not dislikes for not being famous enough although I made a good song.) Anyways, I need help to resolve this loop of making a cover/duet, doing temp jobs, paying for copyright, looping back to making a cover/duet with no income whatsoever.

Create original songs ASAP and you can dodge being dinged by copyright constantly. Deactivate cards that involve copyeright violation too.

I guess you mean you are still in mom's house right?
if yes, I sugget you restart a new game.

and next time, you should upgrade your copyright(I don't remember what name it is, you can find it ''below'' the page you buy a new song), and that will makes your max viewer increase from 10K to 1M. and of course you can keep upgrade it as you have enough money.
OR, you can rebuy copyright to avoid exceeded viewer before you're about to receive money. just in the ''choose songs'' and right next to the viewer bar, click that circle and rebuy it.

about original song, that is an unrecommended option.
even though I got 1.5M viewer, I'm still not famous enough.

so...restart a new game and remember upgrade your copyright first :D

The way copyright works in this game is that the songs you buy have a licence that allows you to monetize videos of it up until a set amount of views. If you get more views you get a copyright strike and you'll need to pay up to be able to monetize that video.

So, as you become more popular (or use the same song more than once) you are more likely to get over the limit of the licence. In your song collection you can see for each song what the limit is and how much views your videos of that song have.

What you need to do is expand your licence so it allows for more views without getting a copyright strike. You can do this for each song separately in your song collection or you can buy an upgraded licence at the music website that will cover all future purchases. A side note: upgrading your licence means that songs will be more expensive to buy, too.

So basically if you're running a music channel, don't use the cards with copyright marks on them but still get copyright strikes that means you are growing, doing well and should invest to expand your channel.

Well, I did put that I kept getting dislikes on original songs which is why I didn't do that in the first place.

I'm not in my mom's house, I'm in the student apt, (I'm not sure why I would have to restart though) but I didn't know how to upgrade my copyright licence, so thank you for that info.

Thank you for the in depth explanation on copyright, I'll make sure to keep this stuff in mind.
