I know I have a Gangnam Style inspired render somewhere…............
...its funny to me that the big music companies are so strict…in general the public neither cares for nor understands copyright laws. I say this from the perspective of managing in retail and people arguing over photo copyright. I believe there is part of the law that allows the nonprofit use for educational purposes. But then realistically they have lawyers and the average youtube video creator doesnt ....

And posting something to youtube (or deviantart, or here, or anywhere else) doesn’t qualify as an educational purpose anyway…
