Pre recorded music content on youtube. Copy rite issues

Alright folks, my name's Jonathan. I'm also known as The DJ Tutor. I give online lessons in the art of DJing. I have a website called djtutor.com. Now that particular website has brought together many hundreds if not thousands of DJs and their videos, brought them to one place, showing off their skills, maybe giving advice, teaching and also demoing new kit. Now this particular video is mainly about the music copyright issues on YouTube. A lot of videos have been taken off because of the music content. Some videos have had the music taken away, so all the audio has gone. Now should that happen? Should we be allowed to play the music in videos? Should you legally be allowed to have proper stereo audio in your video? Should you legally be allowed to play the entire track? Or maybe should you only play a tiny bit of the track?

Now I try to 90% of the time put the name of the artist and the name of the title of all the tracks I play in the description. The way I look at it there is if I'm playing a small snippet of a track, if anything the artist is going to benefit because if people like the sound of that track they're going to look in the description and hopefully maybe get the track from somewhere else. So what do you think? Please give as much good information as you can. Pros, cons, your thoughts. Maybe you've got some fantastic information or maybe you've had videos taken away. Tell us your story. Let us know and maybe we can get loads of information in this video and find out exactly what the future will be for music content on YouTube. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
