Social Dance at Stanford



Free downloaded music for my classesRichard PowersWhen I reconstruct or teach dances, I collect music from many eras. I usually don't compose and record the music. Someone else therefore owns the rights to some of the music that I use.I want you to have the music for my dances, but in a legal and ethical manner. That means that I don't want to profit from selling CD compilations of others' music. And giving it away for free (file sharing) is no more legal.There is a legal and ethical solution, that passes on royalties to the copyright owners.When a video is posted on YouTube, it's automatically screened for copyrighted music. The copyright owners then have two options: order a take-down notice, or make money from ad revenue. They usually choose the second option.I've uploaded all of the copyrighted dance music on YouTube, as videos. Any copyrighted music that I post on YouTube has been pre-approved by the copyright owners, who then earn money from the banner ads.
