>>They do! To prevent a galaxy of infringement suits, Youtube has agreements with most copyright conglomerates either to attribute, alter or completely mute the music. Suggestion: upload a video with "Eye of the Tiger" and see how long it takes Youtube to apply the copyright holder's instructions.

>Counter-suggestion....go up to YouTube and see how many times Eye of the Tiger is up there (and in many ways where the person doing the posting did some level of subtle indirection). Actually, I found a ton of Survivor content posted by members and I am pretty sure it would violate copyright laws. But almost all of the content I found up there has one thing in common - free of any endorsement.

You know what. If someone quoted my work to support a cause I disagree with, I'd be out there in an instant making it clear it was without permission.

And yes, I do try to deal with copyright infringements more generally when I discover them. I got a bunch of pages from a blog taken down last year because they were stolen directly from HackFox.
