You're not profiting from their work, and neither are they. If someone wants to listen to that song, they don't need to buy it, they can just go to YouTube.
As someone who tries to make money from developing creative works, you clearly just don't get it. You are stealing, just like your customers would be if they tried to use the previews from your web site and get their own prints at Wal-Mart. Good luck paying your bills with the credit that I'm sure that they'd be willing to give you.
so did you have anything over the camera and lens?
I haven't done it with the 5D mkII, but only a couple of weeks after I got the first 5D i was out shooting in a snow storm shooting snowploghers trying to keep the roads open. I was in and out of a warm car, so the snow started to melt before I was out again in freezing 15 minus celcius which after a while gave a nice icecoating to the body and lens.
The camera is still alive and kicking. Haven't had any problems with it even after that. I might have been lucky, but I think they will survive much tougher use and environment than we think.
Party A releases a creative work. Party B uses that creative work for their own purpose without payment or permission.
Radiohead releases a song. You use it for a video that you post on a public Internet site without payment or permission.
You post some previews of some wedding pictures on your web site. Your customer downloads the previews and gets prints at Wal-Mart without paying you or getting your permission.
