Yeah, so, this happened. Stalk Me! http://www.youtube.com/whattravissays http://www.twitter.com/whattravissays And although Jim, Ben, Christine and Lucas all helped me with this, Jim is the only one with a YouTube channel.

Users of the service can then have these copies removed from YouTube, do nothing, or have ads sold against the videos if they qualify for monetization. When Baauer's label, Mad Decent, originally uploaded the full "Harlem Shake" song to YouTube in the summer of 2012, they were hoping it would proliferate. "We've, from the beginning, been very much a proponent of allowing everybody to do whatever they want with our stuff, as long we're able to monetize it," says Jasper Goggins, the manager of the label. "It's a great way to help spread the music." tl;dnr The artist lets people use their music like this as long as they can claim the revenue.
