I've read all the stuff about the need to pay someone if you use copyrighted music in your own videos,and the consequences if you don't.Am I right in thinking these only apply if you intend to monetize the video?
I will be making a travel video (or videos) this year and have some specific commercially available music tracks that have to be the original versions that I want to use for a soundtrack to them.If I don't show the finished video(s) on the public part of Youtube (or Facebook etc) and make them only visible to friends I send the link to,will I still get into trouble for using copyrighted material in my own work? So there will be zero desire to make money from them,just a video record of my travels with appropriate music to accompany them?
