May I play on youtube a song I own on steam?

[Big Bill]

For example, I noticed I own songs such as Eminem - Ass Like That, Nikki Minaj - Anaconda, and Rick Roll (for some reason) in my Steam music library. So, if I want to record and upload a video to youtube, may I use these songs?

[ONe_mOMENT]

No. Not unless you get permission from the various publishers to use those songs in your videos.

Ok, thanks!

Are the games sold here original with copyright? What happens if I buy a game and it doesn't run properly? Can I download again from Steam? Is there any customer support?

If it' doesn't run properly, then it's either your system or the game is very bad optimized etc.

Games are tied to your account, so you can download the game whenever you want.

I'm not quite sure how it works but if you upload someone's music to Youtube I think they take care of getting the rights themselves, or already have the rights for most published music. In any case, I think the worst that can happen is that it gets taken down if they can't get permission. When you lodge a vid, you fill in the songs details on a form. Even if you don't they 'discover' what the music is and acknowledge the proper copyright details on their page.

I think if I use copyrighted songs without permission, I can get sued... So, f*ck that..

I understand your concern, so I recommend doing a little more research. I think you'll find that youtube pay the necessary fees to get the rights for music, and if they can't they won't allow your video to be played. I think you will be completely safe from the threat of being sued, but I can't say that for sure. My flatmate has put up several videos with copyrighted music, and Youtube have taken care of the legalities as I described above.

[Big Bill]

Yea, I understood. Thank you. :)

You only owe the right of a consumer for lone use of entertainment of that song. However that does not give you the rights to distrubute to anyone else in any form, this include youtube. Well thats on the legallity issues, but most of the time people post them, so its up to you to take that small risk.
