Jose Gonzales might care that you're using his music in your video no matter how few people watch your stuff. But he might not. You can get in touch with him and ask him. But that's probably too much work. Since there's so much music out there you can use under CC license from artists who you can help by using it, who want you to use it, why not just go to music.podshow.com and use that instead? You're probably right that the harm you do Jose is nominal. But why do it? Convenience, expediency? It's no more difficult to use music available under CC license. It's just as few clicks away as the copyrighted stuff. And you're helping another artist who is asking you to use it. I really hope people will start to see this. Respecting copyright does not diminish the sharing, remix, resuse, revlogging community. It's an opt-in community that can exist while simultaneously respecting copyright, whereas if we refuse to respect copyright that limits our choices. We can publish our works under various licenses that permit others to use them. Or not. But that's personal choice and it only makes sense to respect it. There's no need to trample on the rights of someone who, for whatever reason wants to protect their material. There's a growing database of content that's available for reuse. Why don't we use that?
