Respect for Existing Copyright:

You must be the original author of everything in your video or have permission to use copyright protected material. Be creative but think carefully about what you put into the video. If you are considering using existing music, video clips, photos, etc., it is very likely that someone else owns a copyright to that material. In this case, be sure to obtain the copyright owner’s written permission before using the material in your video.

All music basically contains two copyrights: the sound recording, and the underlying song composition (music publishing rights). In a video where you are using a cover song, you need to negotiate a synchronization license. Most of these will go through the Harry Fox Agency.

However, many music publishers have entered into license agreements with YouTube permitting the use of the songs they control in exchange for a percentage of any advertising revenues. So, in some cases, YouTube has already obtained an agreement with the music publisher, so you would be OK covering the song. To determine whether or not a publisher is participating in an agreement with YouTube, you can contact the publisher directly. Publisher contact information may be found at ASCAP or BMI.

You can also go to one of the royalty-free music sites and buy a track for a couple bucks that you can use all you want, (incompetech.com,audimicro.com, etc.).

With all that having been said, we do prefer original music, even if you are just humming…
