It also may be that the artist or record label doesn't really mind that their intellectual property is being used, and appreciates the publicity.</p> <p>When I was deployed to Kosovo, we produced several video montages (aka "Hooah videos") featuring footage and photos of Soldiers doing their jobs. One video included "He's a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean, and the other was Toby Keith's "American Soldier." They weren't done for profit, or used to sell anything. But guess which one got pulled...? Hint: Disney guards their intellectual property like Fort Knox.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/still-confused-about-music#post-74180 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:19:04 +0000 Bill Dillon 74180@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;It almost sounds like most of the videos I view on YouTube or Vimeo are illegal.&nbsp; Would that be a fair guess?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/still-confused-about-music#post-74154 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:24:33 +0000 birdcat 74154@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Everyone has an End User License Agreement (EULA) which spells out (usually) clearly just how you may use any product (royalty free or not, music, graphics, footage, etc...).</p> <p>Most rf music EULA's allow you to use the music in a compilation (video or sometimes audio) and distribute that compilation to a limited audience (e.g. if you were doing a TV show with an expected audience of &gt; one million sets, you may need additional licensing).
