   ...doing hub work, etc...
   
   Once you get past the obnoxious ad-loads that is. Worth it in this case...

   Actually PDS, that's lovely. I want to use it in the background for my Valley of the butterflies video.
   Can I do that, and if so, how?

      First, a rant... When we get our articles stolen blind; nary a cop or prosecutor, or other government official to be found. Stealing music, however, people get thrown in jail all the time. Why is that? OK, rant concluded.
      
      Having no idea where the person who made that video got the music, I'd be leery. True, Beethoven and Chopin don't give a damn, but the performers might.
      
      All I can suggest is:
      
      1. If not already known, somehow find out the composer/title of the piece(s) you want to use.
      
      2. Then do a search for: public domain classical music. With any luck, you'll find a public domain performance of it somewhere.
      
      Sorry I couldn't be more help.
      
      Update: I'm listening to it right now. I just realized there's  modern composers in there. Hopefully, the public domain search will save the day.

         Because the people who own the rights to the music are generally wealthy and have teams of lobbyists who can help influence policy and the law, and lawyers who can help enforce it.
         
         I asked if I could (thought that it might be in the public domain given that it was on Youtube) Whether rich or poor, I'm really not into stealing other people's work. Thanks, I'll use your suggestions.

            I know you're a good girl. I was just concerned that we don't know the video's pedigree, and didn't want you to end up being falsely accused of anything.
            
            Thanks for reminding me about this. I'm rocking out to it again as we speak.

      Hollie, the music is written by the person who posted it to YouTube. He has his own web site, which includes full contact details: http://relaxdaily.net/contact/
      
      Why don't you get in touch? For all you know, he might be interested in having a joint initiative together with you, with him providing the music and you the video...

         Thanks WA, I will. I found the music really beautiful. The valley of the butterflies is really beautiful too, and although I did my best with the short video (being an amateur)  the background noise distracts from the environment. I think the two would be harmonious.

         Yes it is.
         I sure wish there was a "Stand Your Ground" law that applied against Google.
