If the copyright owner complains offer to split all the money you made from having it on youtube.
the problem with youtube is that you cant "just do it". once they process your upload, they somehow check the audio and if they can identify it, they completely take down the audio and put up some msg about how it is copyright infringement. so u got a video with no sound.
now, lets see that video.
This technology isn't foolproof of course, you can get around it with remixes and alternate recordings occasionally, but it will surely improve over time.
On a related note, Google is about to start indexing audio and video files, so you'll be able to do keyword searches for song lyrics.
Something like that.

Only two clips of a 6 part mixtape were deactivated and I guessed this only happenend because I posted a tracklist including recordlabels. Youtube has beef with Warner Music that's why Warner now requests deactivation of every content owned by them. It's said they even own the copyrights of "Happy Birthday"!!! Filthy industry bitches.
