I wonder if it was difficult for the super sleuths at YouTube to determine what song I had used given that I put the song title and artist in the credits?

I used their AudioSwap application and was able to find another song that works. The application was very easy to use and has some decent music.

Have you ever been busted by YouTube, the RIAA, or the law in general?
