I've done a pretty slick (IMHO) slideshow from our wedding 40+ years ago using the same music, which is obviously copyrighted. Last year, I uploaded to Vimeo, but this year I made a few changes and for grins decided to upload to YT (in my judgment, a lot better than Vimeo these days), knowing I'd get zinged for using copyrighted music (Paul Stookey's, the Wedding Song). As expected, the usual "matched third party content" warning appeared, but when I clicked, this was part of screen.
This seems to be new, although I must admit this is the first time I've uploaded stuff with copyrighted music in awhile. It would appear to me, that it's now OK (?) in that the copyright owner is now being reimbursed from advertising. Correct or am I reading this wrong? In any case, thought it was a bit interesting and wanted to share given the long thread a couple of months ago on use of copyrighted music. Perhaps a solution has been found?
