Poledancefan sent this to me and I will repost here to pass the info along. YouTube is not completely hit or miss, there is plenty of music that is allowed. But remember these are just guidelines, an artist can choose to have their music removed if they want, whether YouTube normally allows it or not. Hope this helps
All Warner Music remains strictly off limits on You-Tube--they are still in a nasty fight over royalties and will supress any WMG product you upload because Warner essentially "Infringement noticed" each and every piece of Warner music ever written, so You-Tube is obligated by law to remove it or be liable to a lawsuit.
Performers retain the right to electronically "Infringement notice" any particular thing they please, EVEN IF they are a partner company. Most rock bands don't do it....except a few...ha ha like PRINCE, lol! He is famous for his petty lawsuits against You-Tube, so they usually just take his sound away...even the little 3 year old girl shrieking 3 1/2 seconds of Little Red Corvette inthe bath-tub got the sound turned off. Everybody is afraid of Prince, lol!
By way, CAPITOL-EMI is also a partner of You-Tube. They are tiny little players, nowadays--but some of the old, good stuff is on CAPITOL- EMI !
