Music on YouTube? Isn&#39;t it a copyright violation?
<p>How is it that people can post musical soundtracks and pop songs on YouTube? Doesn't that violate copyright laws?</p>

<p>It does.</p>

<p>Youtube has a service where copyright owners of music can monetize infringing videos such that ad revenue goes to the copyright holder rather than the uploader.</p>

<p>Alternatively the copyright holder can choose to have the video stripped of the music or taken down.</p>

<p>In all other cases, the copyright owner simply isnt bothered to employ people to find illegally uploaded copies of the music</p>
