How is that a choir can sing someone else’s music, but a youtuber can’t play certain music in their videos?

Question

What do the laws(if any) say about this? And on what scale. Is it legal for a member of church to sing a song to the congregation, or a high school student?

Answer 1

The legal difference is you cannot use someone else’s content. You are always able to sing something, or play on an instrument, what ever you like because at that point you are creating the content. But you can’t use someone else’s, already created, content without their permission
