^ Pretty much this. You are able to use the royalty-free music, and you will not get a copyright strike or anything like that, but you cannot make money from non-commercial use content. If you are wanting to make money from the video, you need royalty-free music that is commercial use.

Also, I meant synchronization license. I'm an idiot. >.<

What should I do since I uploaded videos months ago with licensed music?

From a legal perspective, remove the videos, or remove the audio. From a practical perspective - sometimes you can get away with it. License owners get to choose from three options when content is detected: 1. Do nothing, 2. Monetize your video for themselves, 3. Hit you with a copyright strike and take down your video.

I tend to be fairly cautious, so I'd probably take the videos down and perhaps reupload them - but you can also just try your luck that you won't be smacked with a copyright strike.

You broke the law, good sir! Now you've got some choices to make! :-P

That said, it's entirely possible that once you sign with a network, they might have licenses for that music, and then you'd be perfectly fine.

But I thought a network would never partner up with anyone who done I what I done. Can you personally check out my last vid and tell me if you think I would face any trouble? I'm not promoting but I seriously need help...

Honestly, I'm not going to be able to be of much help, as the way this stuff gets handled varies from case to case.

Here's what I'd recommend: wait until you've uploaded a fair bit more, and then take the videos with copyright violation down, once it won't drastically hurt your views. And if you want to, reupload them without music, or just leave them down. Or, you could also try and purchase a license for the stuff you used, and then you're fine either way.

I wouldn't stress about it a ton, but I'd probably take them down eventually, if I were in your shoes.
