Open Letter To Billy Hamilton About His Freestyle Soccer & Trick Shot Video
Dear Billy Hamilton. Thanks for showing off your foot skillz. Very impressive. I Googled your name and couldn’t find any information – hopefully you play D-1 college somewhere. One problem I have with the video. The music playing in the background is 2AM Club’s “Love Notes.” Great song. It is unfortunate that you used it though. This video only has 800 views right now but within a week it’s going to be at 500,000+. Crazy totals but you will see no money from a Youtube video rev share because you are using an unliscened song and the sharks at Sony Music legal will never let that fly, they might even ask for you to pull the video down even though the band is loving the free promotion. Sad emoticon. Word to the wise, if you ever shoot an epic video like Billy’s always always always use a song you have the rights to. Ask a local friend in a band. Contact a band on the rise. It’s a simple step that can cost you thousands of dollars if your original creation goes viral.
