How do people upload videos on youtube with copyright music?

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

    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.
