If YouTube blocks an upload: VIMEO it

...but do provide a title for pity's sake!
In most cases, when YouTube matches audio tracks to its database it will force ads onto the page, with revenues from these shared with the copyright-holder. YouTube has signed up the major record labels to a deal along these lines.
Sometimes, you'll simply see your upload blocked (or audio disabled).
If that happens, switch to plan B: vimeo.com. Its not used by the industry, but rather artists, and is nowhere near the scale nor influence of YouTube, so isn't really a suitable alternative in general for a Media student. BUT, when you have to (and its not blocked at school, although it flags up broadly identical concerns to YouTube), use Vimeo!!!
