It was felt that there was a "standard practice" of reusing recordings in compilations without licensing them; recordings would be put on a "pending list" that dated back to the 1980s, implying that the licensing and payment was indeed pending.

Is it copyright infringement when you use a song for backround?
Without a license, yes. That is assuming you did not personally compose, perform and record the song yourself, or take a public domain composition and perform and record it yourself, either of which would mean you own the copyright on those recordings and it would not be copyright infringement to use the recording of the song any way you like.
If I post a video of someone I know performing a musical piece on YouTube is this considered copyright infringement?
Yes, unless you have their permission to record a live musical performance, it would be a copyright infringement. Similarly, if they do not have permission to perform and record their rendition of a copyrighted composition, your recording of their performance would be a copyright violation and uploading it anywhere would be a further violation (unauthorized publication of an unauthorized recording).

Is copyright registration a condition of copyright protection?
Copyright protection is not contingent on copyright registration. In many countries, including the United States, copyright is automatically conferred upon the creation of an original work once it is fixed in a tangible medium, such as writing a book, composing music, or creating art. This inherent protection grants the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. While registration is not a prerequisite for copyright protection, it offers valuable benefits. Registering your copyright with the appropriate government authority, such as the U.S. Copyright Office, establishes a public record of your ownership, which can be essential when enforcing your rights in legal disputes. Registration also facilitates legal action against copyright infringement and provides a stronger basis for claiming damages. However, it is important to note that copyright protection begins automatically upon creation, whether or not you choose to register your work.
