YouTube

I've begun loading a few videos up on YouTube. I plan to post some of the Classical, Christmas, and Traditional songs from before 1900. That way, everything should be in the public domain and I avoid any licensing issues. It is very easy to license songs for sales such as via CD's and downloads with a mechanical license - pay the established fees to an agency and you're finished.

YouTube however legally requires a synchronization license which must be individually negotiated with each rights owner. YouTube apparently has some deals in place to work around the legalities, but I am very uncomfortable with their methods.

I'll see how it goes with the public domain classical songs and then evaluate whether I want to get involved with the hassles of songs not in the public domain.

The easiest way to get to all my posted songs is through my Reeves Music YouTube channel at:

You can select individual songs to play with the VIDEOS tab, or click the PLAY ALL arrow to hear them all sequentially. There is also an option to loop the songs continuously. You can also subscribe to my channel there.
