Is it true that you can use any type of music in your Youtube videos as long as it's under 30 seconds?

No, even if you upload 5 seconds of a copyrighted song,


it's still copyrighted. The 30-seconds rule is for TV/radio


programs who are not subject to ';royalties'; if they were


to use part of a song or copyrighted music when they're


introducing a guest or going into (or out of) commercials.


(Think of the David Letterman or Craig Ferguson shows).





Then again, the stations and networks pay huge dollars


in order to get a broadcast licence.





You can try uploading less than 30 seconds -- and then


see what happens. Some record companies really don't


mind if you use little snippets.Is it true that you can use any type of music in your Youtube videos as long as it's under 30 seconds?
