Is it legal to have songs in youtube videos ?

Question

Because almost every single video has some copyrighted song and even serious videos from serious companies seem to have copyrighted material. So how come they don't get removed ?

Answer 1

it is for personal use and not for profit, so the companies and musicians don't mind.

sometimes you even hear a song on a video. like the band and buy a CD , so they can gain from it, so why complain

Answer 2

Doesn't matter, no one may catch you but it's illegal. Worst that can happen is an account ban though.

Answer 3

Well simple, The people do not gain any money. It is only illegal to copy a song and make people pay to listne to it

ALOT OF People are like "yeah duh its illegal" they dont know one thing at all as long as they dont charge anyone money to watch it then its LEGAL
