No, I've not sold a song to Simon Cowall. Unfortunately U2 don't want to cover my latest issue and Madonna is not a fan. BUT........

I put "Mihkay" in a a search in you tube. Only 17 hits and...

One of my songs has been used on the internet by someone I don't know!

OK, that's like saying someone I don't know caught the same flu bug that I had.......but I found it weird, that something I wrote has been used as incidental music!
See here.

OK Only the first 5 seconds.

And the original..

Wow it must be a real buzz to hear your music being played, somewhere other than on your own website..... But time to call an IP lawyer.....!

It's good to know that someone liked your music enough to use it but it's still tantamount to stealing if they didn't ask for your permission first.  Personally, I'd be more than a little annoyed at this lack of consideration.     Did you have this music available as a download and how do feel about this?

Song released on a Creative Commons licence. So basically as long as no money is being made from it and I was credited on the site as the author of the song (which I was), I'm more than happy.   :)

That's really cool :) I'd be as chuffed as you are if someone wanted to use a piece of my music.
Nice one  ;D

That's class, Mihkay (Good song btw).

Send the Youtube channel owner a message of thanks for sharing your music to a wider audience.

Then, SUE THEIR ASSES! ;D

Congratulations Mihkay.  I hadn't realised that this was a Creative Commons licence release. Let's hope it brings your music to a wider audience! :)
