These usages fall under Fair use, which is why copyrighted music is often allowed in YouTube videos. It's only a copyright violation if the original song is distributed alone, intact and at high resolution (quality).

Also known as... copying.

im sorry miraculix, but buying the copyright implies when benefits are expected

for personal use, you can upload such video

that's why youtube gets sued, not people who upload videos. Because youtube gets profit
(and mostly if the band/singer even gives a $hit)

Correct...Miracu.....your not quite correct. YouTube takes any video that is uploaded and checks to see if they have a copyright agreement for that song. If they do then it is accepted, if not then your entire video is rejected. Additonally, some artists refuse to push copyright infringement laws (like Bob Marley and all the Marley's).

They must have changed it then for some reason, I clearly saw it as the 7th.

I'm rather sure that using a song for the commercial promotion of a product without the artist's consent does NOT fall under Fair Use.

Because that's what these videos are for, they're not for our entertainment.

nope, I've seen those dates from the beginning, maybe you misread it

btw, Nine Inch Nails encourages fans to download their songs from internet.
lately they even published their new albums for free in mp3's
