At the moment, you canNOT use a separate mic with the Action. Apparently, they will be releasing some adapter that plugs into the usb port but it is not available yet.
If you go into YT editor, you can actually search almost any recorded song and it will tell you if its free to play in your videos or not. Some songs can be played in some countries while other countries it will actually be banned for use due to copy-write laws. It's a good tool to use if you plan on adding music to your videos. That way you will know before you even create the video if the music is available for your use. It's to bad that a song playing in the background of your audio capture will get a copy-write strike against you though, seems a bit extreme to me. Some songs can even get a copy-write strike if it's played as a cover song by a different artist.
When I make video I always stop any music in the background if I can. The two reasons are that first any cut you do in the editing you’re also cutting the music and it’ very noticeable and I prefer choosing the music afterwards.So in the future ask if you pause the music while you film.
Yes, I understand your point, but in this case it was a family cookout and not at my house, so I had little control on the music. Plus, I was more interested in capturing the conversation, not the music. Since I did edit the video, most scenes contained different portions of any background music so just fade in/out as needed. Like someone mentioned, if it's detected by automation, I am thinking the best thing is to avoid being too close to the music. In my case, the song that got flagged was playing from a speaker right next to where I was filming. Anyway, thanks for the input.

I did have a big safety warning at the beginning, but it seems how to assemble your own weapon scares the folks at Google (YouTube). You know, the political correctness of the far left!
I'd like watching the Far Left hung by the neck on YouTube.
The trick is to practice fair use of copy righted material. If you give credit to the artist in your video then that is considered as fair use of copyright. I have been using background music with very little issue using this. Hope that helps. Here’s a sample of my video with music background and credit. sometimes they take it down but I just dispute sand advise them I am following the fair use of copyright and they unblock them. I do this trick in Facebook as well.
