I think unless you're emailed to say you have to delete the file or it's been deleted, there's a certain amount of leeway allowed. I think it also depends how much of a song you use. After all, just about everything is somebody's copyright now, other than maybe classical music. We can't all write music ourselves to accompany our videos.
