If i write next to my song on youtube (copyright free)

can you please help me understand advantages and disadvantages of this

Thanks

 

you can't do this. any art always have an author!
you can publish only royalty free music.

 

You cannot just write something, you have to select the license when you publish a video. YouTube gives you the choice between "Standard YouTube License" (Copyright) and Creative Commons (CC BY).



If you want to learn about the differences, here's a blog post that could help: https://www.niallmcnulty.com/2016/06/copyright-vs-creative-commons-whats-the-difference/

 

Some music is in the public domain. I have monetized some of my jazz recordings but I only use ones that are expired copyright.I didn't try to monetize my Who song, even though it's so different souncloud hasn't caught it, and Pete Townsend is such a grouchy old fart.

 

and what? music in public domain stil have some rights. always!

Moral rights are concerned with the non-economic rights of a creator. They protect the creator's connection with a work as well as the integrity of the work. Moral rights are only accorded to individual authors and in many national laws they remain with the authors even after the authors have transferred their economic rights.
The Berne Convention, in Article 6bis, requires its members to grant authors the following rights:

1. the right to claim authorship of a work (sometimes called the right of paternity or the right of attribution); and
2. the right to object to any distortion or modification of a work, or other derogatory action in relation to a work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation (sometimes called the right of integrity).

 

Before 1924, that is correct. The songs I monetized that I didn't write were written before 1924. So I don't owe Hoagy Carmichael for Indiana, and some of them were originally old folk songs or spiritual-gospel songs. I did register my arrangements and performances with ASCAP. If you use those you owe me money, LOL. I don't have to pay Beethoven's estate either, if I wanted to use his music. (He still is "The Maestro".) https://www.pdinfo.com/

the property of the music belongs to the listener

 

but what has the money to do with it? do you understand "the right to claim authorship of a work"? apparently not ...
it doesn't matter who the author was, how long ago he died and with what purpose his work will be used. in any case - it must be indicated as the author always and everywhere!
just search about non-economic rights of a creator and you will understand my words.

no. in any case no!

everybody’s possession - agree with this =)
but not a property!

 

Advantage is, your song can be found by people who search for "copyright free music". (in a pool which has 588 million songs)
Disadvantage is, those people just download it by a youtube downloader and you don't even know about it even if it's very useful.

So, I say no advantage in this. If you do this, you should be more specific, like action game music, moving intro music, background music etc.

 

Even Spiderman took the time to answer your question. That's why I love this website
