Is it legal to record music playing from ******* while recording a video then uploading it to ******* ?
I'm uploading atm and im just worried. will they take any action ? I gave thanks to ******* and the music makers in the description ? Quick answer, like I said im uploading atm.

Thanks

Downloading it is ok for 99% of all videos, but uploading it again might be a problem. Best thing would be to ask the original owner of the video for his permission, then you are safe. Else ******* might lock the video automatically, or the owner asks you to remove it. There wont be further legal consequences I think.
But in fact uploading the (copyrighted) music without the expicit permission is illegal.

As far as I know, they don't take any action, they just warn you. (I think the worst you can get is that your account becomes temporarily disabled for a week)

Edit: Oops, Mauzen beat me!

I'm not uploading it and claming it as my own. I'm playing it beside a movie and I gave credits to the songs and *******. I didn't mention that, perhaps thats different ?

Well if you are using the music, why not put in the description something similar to

Quote:

have nothing to do with any of the music played in this video.Im not the owner or creator of any of the songs.I do not intend to infringe any copyright laws surrounding the music used, and am simply using it for entertainment and promotion purposes of the artist

Which could work

How old is the song, and what company originally owned it?

I really don't know , i just recorded various songs throughout my video scenes.
One I downloaded as the uploader put it in the description.

The others were just various like I said.
I recorded them while making the video.

here are the links:

Judging by the music, I don't think anything will be done, I used to have video's with copyrighted music in it, worst thing they do is remove the soundtrack from the video, then you have to choose from a list of royal free music to replace it. (plus you get a warning, which reduces your chance of becomming ******* partner).
