- It doesn’t matter whether or not you give credit to the owner/author/songwriter-it is still copyrighted.

What Will Happen If You Upload Infringing Content?
Anytime we become aware that a video or, any part of one of our videos, is uploaded on a third party, we will take it down from that site. We are required to do so by law. If you believe that a video on this site infringes your copyright, send us a copyright notice and we will take it down. If you believe that we have removed a video that you uploaded in error and that you are the copyright owner or have permission, you can file a counter notice and let us know. If you repeatedly post infringing content, your account will be terminated. This is also a requirement of the law. Using Some Copyrighted Content in Your Videos While videos that are direct copies of someone else’s content are clear copyright violations, there are certain very limited circumstances in which the use of very short clips of a copyrighted video or song may have recourse to the “fair use” principle of copyright law.
Fair use is not a right. It is an excuse for copyright infringement and must be proved by you in a court of law not at Rick’s Music Archives
