YouTube, music and copyright - how do you do yours?

same as previous posts, I either wing it and hope it gets allowed , buy royalty free music from a provider service or use obscure music or mashups / remixes of music .

end of the day there is no logic towards youtube copyright strikes and if you are seeking to monetise your work then I would suggest using copyright free music from a provider so you have a document stating the music is copyright free and was legally purchased in order to negate any potential trouble from false copyright claims on youtube which can happen.

Best answer so far, IMO. If its business, keep it clean, if just for fun, who cares? You could also use classical orchestral recordings which have passed their expired date. I feel the whole copyright thing is just so much hooey. In the past, artists had to perform their stuff live, they actually had to gig and work for their living. Most of the royalties get funnelled to the legions of middlemen anyway, plenty of instances of artists starving in poverty while the execs got rich off their work decades later.
