Gaming montages and the Digital Economy Act.

[The Garuness]

It's an issue with me. Ive been planing to mage a few game montages (MW2, GOW2, Halo 3 and so on) and have a few selected songs for it and one of being a Machine Head song. Now to the people who have the jist as to what the digital economy bill does, would i get burned for using a song from said band for a montage and post it on Youtube? p.s. there is an anti-download feature on youtube to prevent realplayyer downloads and i would credit the song in the description and say that i own nothing about this song or band and it is just used for entertainment purposes.

Cheers for reading.

The song would probably get blocked out and you'd end up with a silent video, and you would probably get a warning or even get your account suspended.

Voice of experience.

To be honest youtube is designed for original content. A lot of users really slip through the cracks, but eventually get caught out. There's not much originality on youtube these days.

Yeah, i was afraid of that but kind of expecting it :|
Would it be a warning just from Youtube?

You won't get in trouble. Your content just gets silenced or taken down. Used to happen all the time to my WoW videos since I like to use music from certain record companies that are super paranoid about their copyrights.
