Official videos as discovery paths
Well supported
Official YouTube uploads from artists, labels and rights holders give editors a safe discovery trail for recordings without re-hosting copyrighted media.
A recording page can use official video/audio references as a first listening/viewing path while keeping catalogue data separate. Editors should verify the upload channel, rights-holder, release context and exact version before public embedding.
Official artist, label and rights-holder channels give this atlas a safe way to link a listener toward a recording without re-hosting anyone's copyrighted work. An official upload confirms the rights holder and the specific version being referenced, but it does not confirm when a track was originally released - a channel might post a 1970s recording decades after the fact, so this atlas treats upload dates and original release dates as two separate facts, drawing release metadata from discographic sources (MusicBrainz, Discogs, label catalogues, books) rather than inferring it from when a video went up.
Source trail: Bob Marley official YouTube; Trojan Records Official; Peter Tosh official; VP Records; Sean Paul official; Damian Marley/UMG; Original Koffee; Shaggy/VEVO. This entry documents the atlas's own media-linking standard rather than a historical event.
