If you are in contract with a music library and it says exclusive, can you still share your song on YouTube. I like to make small videos of my songs (like this) but don't want to break contract.

It depends.

Some libraries are okay with this, some are not. Some put them onto youtube themselves. Others like to keep everything behind closed doors.

Best advice is to reach out to your contact at the Libary and ask them.

So far I only placed one Christmas song but recently received an email from the library that it would be okay... not realizing it wasn't. I was curious what would be the standard. Thanks for the input.

I've done this in the past, then received a copyright claim from the library I had the music with. :)
