Last night I made a video with photos of wildlife my partner and I have taken over the years. I added the song "Conquest of Paradise" to the video to add to the mood. As I suspected, when I tried to share it my friends on Facebook, the site blocked the audio of this video due to copyright laws. I have seen countless personal videos on YouTube and Facebook where people use commercial music. So how are they able to do it?
I looked up about getting permission to use a song, and it seems so complicated. You have to figure out who the publisher (not author) of the song is, and get permission from them. I spent two hours trying to find this to no avail. Very frustrating. Just wondering if anyone knows what to do so I can simply share my video with a neat song attached. :/ Gee I have no interest in making money or selling it. I plan to only show it to a few select friends. Makes me wonder now how I will share future dance videos with the music I am using.
