Yes! I’m on a rant!
I do not expect to practice piracy and illegal downloading of movies, videos, music, games and other media. And that is NOT what this article is about.
What I’m venting lately is the secondary use of MP3 music in video production. Like when you make a YouTube video and use your favorite CD as background music. Visit cartoon torrenting sites for mp3 music.
Copyright and illegal usage aside for a moment…
We seem to have a whole generation of Internet users who totally agree with this practice. The reason they mention it on the forums is twofold Youtube to Mp3 Converter.
(1) It’s easy to do
(2) Nobody is stopping them.
Okay, I’m sure the media giants who own these copyrights can’t go after every little illegal use of a video. But they are going after the big sites that are serving them. There are two lawsuits I’m aware of (and perhaps more) that the www giant YouTube is defending against, although they CLEARLY state in their submission form that you MUST own the copyright to everything you submit.
There are plenty of cool MP3 songs to download. But hey… if you bought it at a store or listened to it on the radio… it’s not royalty free. That means using it for your video is ILLEGAL.
Start off with some free loops, free clips, and then move on to some royalty-free “purchased” MP3 songs.
