Copyright Friendly Music for video
Why is it important to use copyright friendly music in your videos?
First, it is illegal to use copyright material without expressed written agreement from the composer or owner of the music. These artists make a living by selling and licensing their music...just because you can download it, it doesn't mean it is ethical to use. YouTube and Vimeo will take down your videos or strip the audio from your video if you post a video with copyright music.
