| Jul 1, 2021 at 9:50 | comment | added | Michael Macha | @user45623 is correct if they decide to send a full DMCA after me, which I would like to avoid. I would prefer to contact them and get a response in a timely manner as to whether they would be willing to do this, which seems unlikely. | |

It's usually pretty cheap (less than $100 per track) if you'll only be distributing the video on the web. If I recall correctly, Adobe Stock has a free trial where you can get a handful of songs for free. | |

No thanks necessary ;)

| Jun 29, 2021 at 17:00 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | @Greendrake AFAIK, in the worst case scenario, don't you get permanently banned off YouTube after 3 violations? If you are lucky they will just put ads on your video and send the revenue to the band (which the OP is fine with, or even wants to happen), but you can't really know whether that's what will happen, before it does. | |
| Jun 29, 2021 at 14:16 | comment | added | Michael Macha | It's looking more and more like it will be worth my time to compose something original for this. I honestly think they would be interested in the final product; but it will likely be months before I hear back from them and it'll require a demo, which might (barring approval) be thrown out. Thanks guys. | |

| Jun 29, 2021 at 4:26 | comment | added | Greendrake | If you post the video on YouTube it will detect the audio track copyright holders and direct the revenue to them. In the worst case scenario for you the video will be just taken down. | |
