Music to accompany underwater video??

Royalty Free doesn't mean you are licensed to use the music for whatever you want. If you are going to monetize your videos you want to be very careful. I've used many songs from incompetech.com/ Kevin Macleod at incompetech allows you to use all his songs on monetized videos, you just need to provide attribution (credit) on the video.

I've used Kevin Macleod work in all my videos on You tube. All you have to do is properly attribute it when you use the creative commons licensing option. He even provides a page that will fill out the required text for you.

An example of the required attribution:

"Piano Between"

Yes thats an other way to get it legally online. It depends on what You have in mind with Your footage.
Take a look at that one: Immaculate Perception - Gates Underwater Products

Hi Dauntless!
Guess its like this. If You purchase a music track from a RfM agency You get a pdf from them which verifies You to use this track for lifetime for any video or other use. But You are not allowed to let a friend of Yours to use the same track for footage under his name. He would need a license for himself. It has been very often that tracks were used illegally on You Tube.
This platform is so big that they have problems to get all the footage always properly checked before it goes online.
Usually after a composer send a complain to them the will delete the footage.

I prefer using the sound of my regulator rather than music in my videos. All of my products are educational in nature and I think the reg sound makes the experience more realistic. I don't hear music underwater. However, for short video pieces I understand the inclusion of music.
