It’s better to be safe than sorry!
I recently read a blog post about a wedding videographer who put a popular hit song by a well-known artist on the video (at the couple’s insistence).
Well, the couple was so exuberant to share their love with the world that they posted their wedding video on YouTube or Vimeo or some other video site. Some way the video got back to the music distributor for the pop song and the videographer–not the couple–was sued for $150,000!
The videographer then shared a couple of websites where he now gets his music. They are:
1) The Music Bed (https://www.themusicbed.com)
2) Marmoset Music (https://www.marmosetmusic.com)
Be safe, not sorry!
