Kind of about work.

So can I monetize my videos even if I put some music out from youtube or something like that? I will obviously put the links to where I found the audios and take no credits for the stuff I won't own and I will even put it on the video as a warning that I don't own some of the stuff. I know I could have just watched the terms of conditions, but... They're too vague. I'd prefer someone to tell me with their own words.

You cannot use copyrighted music on your videos. A good source for music you can use is the nocopyrightsounds channel but not all of the music on their is non copyrighted (only if they say [ncs release] and explicitly allow use in the description, you must say where you got it). If you use copyrighted music you will get copyright struck

Alternatively, use old/classical music. Anything over 50 years old is exempt but there are some exceptions.

You cant just assume something is in the public domain because its old.

WTeff? It's law. I also said that there were exceptions. Did you even read my post?...... Nevermind.

I read your post. Its on the YouTube guidelines, lots of stuff that is old is not copyright free. Laws are different everywhere around the world.

Ok ok, I can't use the original song because of copyrights. But what if I use covers for exemple? Will I still be introuble?

The author of the cover owns the copyright to the cover.
