Is most of trance in the public domain?

I want to post a video with some trance in the background on facebook, but facebook is notorious for removing videos with background music due to copyright infringements.

Is there a good way to check which trance songs are copyrighted or not? I don't want to put it on youtube because I can't tag my friends

Is most?

... I don't think any trance is in the public domain.

What? I've been posting youtubelinks of all kinds of tracks (many in HD) and none have been removed?

ah.. bummer.

For some reason I thought most of it was in public domain. or maybe somehow I got the impression the artists didn't care much

youtube is ok

facebook is very strict. they removed one of my videos a while back that had some alternative music

I'm not sure why you would think it would be in the public domain o.o

For the most part youtube won't take down videos, unless it's a song from Armada or someone who likes to flex their legal muscles. Most other labels and artists don't mind.

I don't know about facebook.

just up it to youtube first then link it from there

unless it's out of copyright, it's not in the public domain.
