I always see videos on youtube with music videos and videos of people with mainstream songs and they play fine. I tried to upload a video for a project with an old Buffalo Springfield "For what its worth" and it muted my whole video and said it was violation of copyright laws or something. Also my video was all choppy, anyone know about that either? Thanks

They got lucky and it did not recognize the audio content.

maybe get the tune from youtube and use it in your video.. might just work.. quite a lot of samples tunes on utube.. do a search at youtube this will help you...Use 'zillatube'. It is very easy to download videos, and it downloads fast too.. Then you can convert youtube videos into the music mp3 music (and other formats too) with zillatube. This is the fastest way. Then use windows movie maker(inside your windows machine) to add them to video. It works very well - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=zillatube&btnG=Google+Search&meta= ======================♥♥♥

Don't take it personally. Unfortunately for you, any music that's not your creation and that is used in your video is considered "copyright infringement". The huge music/media corporations like UMG, Warner and Viacom don't just "own their music", they "own the rights" to them, which means how and where "their music" can be publicly presented. Thus, they're apparently 100% within their rights to claim the music in your video as their own -- especially if you have not paid them for "licensing fees", "distribution rights", "royalties", and/or "expressed written permission" to use and "broadcast" their music on YouTube. If you know of other vids using the same music, either YouTube will take them down eventually, or someone who's jealous will flag them. If you're willing to take the chance and re-upload your video with the same music, do not write the name of the song or artist in your title, description, or tags. Also avoid irrelevant phrases like "no copyright infringement intended", "I do not own the music" or "I don't take any credit for this song". Not only do YouTube's servers seek out words and sentences like that, it reaffirms that you have knowingly copied, taken, used or maybe even stolen somenody's copyrighted material. You should also consider the fact that the music-recording industry is starting to use hidden "watermarks" or "fingerprints" buried within their music, in order to uncover and identify their illicit use. As such, it is possible that no matter how many times you try to upload your video, it may always be rejected because of "copyright infringement". You would thus be better off trying to find a different recording of the music you want to use. If you've noticed that other videos are using the exact same music, those videos were probably uploaded before this new technology really started coming into being. The only possible exception to everything that I've just written above is for you to use music that is shorter than 30 seconds. If you listen carefully to any talk-show on radio or TV, they will never use or play other people's music for longer than 30 seconds when introducing a guest or going into/out of commercials. Can you guess the reason? (Hint: it has to do with "licensing fees" and "royalties".) I hope my info has been helpful to you.
