Use Royalty Free Music On YouTube - Copyright Strikes
55Using copyrighted music on YouTube has always been challenging. But, did you know, even if you have permission from an artist to use their music, your channel could still be at risk.
I always get the question 'Is it Okay to Use Copyrighted music on Youtube' and in this video, we go over that in order to use copyright music on your channel, you need to have a license to perform that music which is usually obtained by BMI, SECAC, or ASCAP. However the whole process of getting a music license and how to get one is convoluted and confusing.
Youtubers often say, how is it that Youtube can play music at all? They have obtained the licenses to do so, but they cannot verify you have done the same, which is why you often deal with Youtube's Content ID System.
Here are some of the different liceneses you can may need obtain to use copyrighted music if you choose to do so.
Master Recording License. This type of license gives the license holder the right to use a recording that someone else made. The difference between a master license and a sync license is that the sync permits the license holder to re-record the song for a specific project, for example a video cover a famous song, while the master permits using a pre-existing record, therefore the voice of the original singer.
Performance License. The performance license includes music used at live performances, clubs, business establishments, multimedia presentations, music used in a meetings and conventions, or simply played through a CD for the benefits of the people listening to it.
Synchronization License. It is one of the most used licenses in the market. It ties the copyright owner and the licensee, granting permission to use a song and “sync” it with a visual media. Synchronization licenses are usually used in television shows, movies, commercials and other videos.
Mechanical License.This type of license is paid every time a copy of a song is made, for example for every CD produced. The music publisher or songwriter usually have control over the mechanical licenses. This type of license is a formal agreement with the copyright holder, the publisher or the songwriter allowing the holder to reproduce the sound of a recording. An artist that does not write his own songs and is recording a cover version will need a mechanical license.
Print License. This license is obtained to copy or reprint lyrics of sheet music for a song that someone else wrote for personal use or reproduction. The Print License is required for every song copied or used by a third party. This type of license can be necessary to create a music book or a song sheet.

Understand the differences between Musical Compositions and Sound Recordings:
For copyright purposes, there is a difference between MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS and SOUND RECORDINGS.
A Musical Composition consists of music, including any accompanying words, and is normally registered as a work of performing arts. The author of a musical composition is generally the composer and the lyricist, if any.
A Sound Recording results from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds. The author of a sound recording is the performer(s) whose performance is fixed, or the record producer who processes the sounds and fixes them in the final recording, or both.
Copyright in a sound recording is not the same as, or a substitute for, copyright in the underlying musical composition.
The owner of the copyright in that song holds certain exclusive rights under copyright law, including the exclusive right to reproduce, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies, to publicly perform, and to publicly display the work, until that work falls into the public domain.
