Home-made video. 7 million views already. The power of social media.
Below is a home-made(?) video of a wedding entrance for a young couple. The video on YouTube at the time of this writing had 7 million views.
This video is ultimate proof for me that you should always fight against the norms that society imposes on your life. “Life is what you make it”
Plus – food for thought here.
Will the music company which owns rights to the music played in the video demand that the video be removed or understand that this video could dramatically increase sales of this song.
I for one will buy the album that this song is on. I never heard of the musician until this video. That is the power of social media.
What do you think?

Excellent video. Personally, I think when the music is for personal use on occasions like this, that artists should recognise their audience appreciating their music (of which they most likely already own the CD, DVD, or MP3), and that they are taking their music to a wider audience. It is the ultimate word of mouth, and without commission!
Cheers,
Will
