I have done over 400 videos on YouTube and have nearly 13,000 subscribers. The first thing you need to do is get permission from the copyright holder of the music. Absent that, don’t bother.

I’ve had copyright complaints over the music in my mashup videos, and YouTube didn’t take them down - it just monetized them and took the ad revenue. Disappointing, but no big deal. If you don’t mind my asking, have you had other trouble?

That dashes my hopes on creativity. Not even for a fun school project? Hobby? If not sold and only shared I don't see how there could be a copyright issue. The link I shared was done by someone other than the musician. Maybe he had permission. Gads, shot down so early.*sigh*
