Using unlicensed music in our videos

Is it a big deal? I'm not making any money from my videos or advertising them. If anything I'm giving some artist added air time. Is this a big deal or no?
I'm not concerned and if someone complains I've got no problem deleting the music. Do you guys do it?

 

I use royalty free music for NAA videos. Typically when using royalty free music the composer/artist request that you credit them. As long as they are getting credit it's just more exposure for them, I doubt they mind since that's kind of the purpose of royalty free music to begin with. But like you said, if they asked for me to take it down I would gladly take it down and have someone make music for me.

 

For instance.
Why Hunters Hunt. - YouTube

 

Thanks Spear. That's what I figured.

 

I know I have music on my IPhone that I purchased on Itunes and used it in a video of target practice and placed it on FB and within minutes they rejected the video and said I had unlawful usage of the music thus deleted my video....I too think as long as I purchased it I should be able to use it...

 

yeah when i do use music in my Pin 'Em & Stick 'Em videos i use royalty free sites. you can find some pretty great music on them if you spend some time browsing. havent tried anything with lyrics yet, mainly bc i all the royalty free sights i have found are just the music

 

Facebook rejects them with music. However, I've uploaded to YouTube - simply write I do not own music, it is "xxxx" and we're good to go!

 

Good to know!

 

I use music from the Youtube Library

 

Just thought of this thread when cruising FB. Campbell cameras posted a site called audio jungle to get music for videos.

Royalty Free is the way to go. Lots of site online, put the time in & you'll find great original music.

 

We often use popular songs in our wedding videos. The down side is that the content owner of the music can disable the video or put ads on it. They also have the option to limit what devices can view the videos. Often, I try and find a small band site through soundcloud and will contact them and ask if we can use their music. For all of our commercial stuff, we use our own composer or we use royalty free stuff.
