Just a quick note to remind myself, and others of the reality of streaming and/or making money on line. As someone who plays 99.9% covers of copyright owned music - there is virtually NO WAY to earn any money on YouTube. I don't know the entire situation, but the few videos I do have posted all have received a message that I am not entitled to monetization due to performing rights.
