NobleDragon recently posted the following: "Next beware of video editing software’s preloaded music library. YouTube and Sony have great selections for you to use on their sites, but often restrict the viewing of the material to their site. This again does not allow your entry to process properly and will get you DQed." Unaware if this, I posted a music video to Of Monster and Men's "Little Talks," spending about 10 hours on it. I was under the impression that I could use copyrighted soundtrack, as STATED CLEARLY IN THE BLOG: "Can I use copyrighted audio? You can, but beware: this has a tendency to cause problems with YouTube playback on external (i.e., non-YouTube) websites and may even hurt your chances of getting votes. It’s fine if your audio triggers an advertisement, but you don’t want copyrighted music to entirely prevent your video from playing outside of YouTube. Test your video to make sure it works everywhere." This makes me EXTREMELY angry, because I used hours and HOURS of time making a music video, only to discover it got disqualified. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT PLEEEEEASE TRY. Thanks, Awk. (Video: http://youtu.be/8VWkwbvwcnw)

How did you not understand? It clearly saids that if you use copyrighted audio, you run the risk of it not working on other sites.

Wait... So I learned of another reason why I lost the Dynamic Lighting Contest... I thought that a song from Youtube's soundtrack was efficient enough in selling a point. Apparently not, and now I'm more angry than I was when I originally lost. But not toward the feature anymore. Toward ROBLOX Corp.

Alright; I figured out a way around my disqualification. I simply edited the audio slightly and YouTube failed to recognize it. I'm good to go! Now I just need to re-upload it :)
