Is it OK if I use one of your songs on Youtube and give you credit?

Well if nobody is answering your request, I guess the answer is yes. Though it might be useful to know more, e.g. what is your film about and which track are you using?

I was thinking of either Cobra Bora or Cubik. It would just be background music in a video where a friend and I answer ridiculous or funny questions people ask and give them advice.

I think the official answer on these issues is there is rarely one person who has written the music there for no one composer can speak for the others.
So we have a publisher who coordinates a response also the publishers own a chunk of the pie .. which complicates it further..
I have many personal thoughts on the subject of Internet usage.
- I quite like the idea of Spotify where they do pay royalties. Im trying to get ZTT to sign up 808s stuff (they do have outpost up and some remixes)
-its better than poor quality mp3s and pictures of vynil going round on a deck- or poor quality mp3s with wierd pervey japanese animation..
God we could have saved loads of money if we knew that audio quality would nt matter in the future,or indeed saved all that money making videos and just stuck up an old copy of Marine Boy or something.Oops Im begining to rant.. but it makes a change to be asked ..thanks

Noooooooo!!!!!

That money was well spent - especially listening to the remasters. Jeez - we've been listening to inferior sound quality for over 20 years compared to the remastered CDs. Had Ex:El on in the car to work today and the bass for Nephatiti made my rear view mirror vibrate so much I couldn't see in it. The old Ex:El didn't do that!

Anyways, I'm going off-topic. Since dnarcidy wants it on in the background while something else is going on, would that cause a problem? It's not like he want to make a new video for Cobra Bora or anything. Does that mean I have to be careful when filming a mate being stupid just in case we're listening to tunes at the time and it happens to get captured on the video?

The irony is, of course, that if dnarcidy just made the video and posted it, nobody on here would be any the wiser and ZTT would probably never see it.

The answer to that one is a "Yes..." actually, Pob!

Call me a weeny, Pob - but I wouldn't be too sure 'bout that one, regarding ZTT/Perfect Songs not seeing it;
especially, if dnarcidy's vid lucks MAX in the YouTube-/viral-lottery, and attracts some serious viewer numbers...

Thanks for the clarification, Dee.

I'll remember to pay Warner some royalties next time I sing "Happy Birthday"
