Doubt they paid for the license to use Iron Butterfly.. not that I care, but it’s interesting.
I’m pretty sure they did have license for it. If you check the description of the video it says “Licensed by WMG etc.” I doubt it would get past Youtube’s recognition system without the owners noticing.
Nice! They must be doing pretty well. I’m not sure if they scale the cost based on the company or project, but it sounds like that has to be the case.
It absolutely wouldn’t get by the Youtube recognition system; hell it probably would have gotten taken it down even if they went the “parody” route and played it in a different key to get around royalties and covered it, it would still be hit.
