playing a song HE created

My previous answers were based on that quote from the opening post.

It seemed to claim that the piece was an original composition. Apparently it wasn't.

The song if I may is Star Wars related

That is very different to merely having the words "star wars" in the title, as suggested.

Example: I have a commercially-issued recording named "Star Wars Won't Work", which is not copyright infringement, being an original composition unrelated to the movie.

This wasn't a "performance"

As others have stated, if it's on the web it is public performance.

The fact that GoogleTube is full of other copyright infringements is no excuse.

The old saying "don't mess with the mouse" applies equally to droids.
