Thankfully, there are a bunch of options for royalty free music for YouTube videos that won’t get your video shut down! It’s illegal, to say the least, especially if you are trying to monetize your videos. There may be external advertizers that collect data.Picture this: You’ve created an awesome video and embedded your favourite song only to have YouTube throw a copyright notice at you.Īs you’ve probably guessed, most major artists and record labels don’t like you using their songs, even for a few seconds. We really only get your email address (if you choose to share it). If you purchase or donate, that goes through PalPay. If you have more questions - contact the legal departments at those distributors, or your local copyright attorney.

Each of those distributors require you own 100% of the copyrights to the pieces you publish.
