Let's see if I've got this straight

If I take a music file and distribute it via some file-sharing mechanism, I'm a pirate and SOPA will take me down.

If I use that file as the soundtrack to footage of me dancing round my bedroom and upload the whole thing to YouTube, that's UGC and perfectly legit (insofar as you can describe my dancing as such).
