Copyright Importance

Copyright explained and importance of abiding to copyright

When we sent an email to Domino records we stated that we wanted to see copyright for the song Old Yellow Bricks by the Arctic Monkeys so we can create a music video for educational purposes. They did not respond to our email but from previous knowledge with Domino records we knew that they had accepted our conditions because previously we used one of their songs and had permission to do so and we didn’t have any copyright strikes against us. If we did not seek permission for copyright then this would of resulted in our video having a copyright strike against it, which will then result in our video being taken down on YouTube, and even potentially face a penalty so it is very important to abide to copyright procedures. However to avoid these procedures being taken we will ensure that we email Domino records to gain access to this song in a legal and professional manor.

Copyright basics

Copyright acknowledges the efforts to create something and giving them the title of the creator and you must ask for permission to manipulate or use something that someone has created. It is effectively intellectual property that someone has created themselves and they control who has access to this and they can make profit from this as well like a YouTube video. YouTube music videos or YouTube videos make money from the advertisements that are on the video and the view count that the video receives. Record labels that represent the artists own most music video copyrights. If we fail to gain access to copyright then we can be excused because we are using this song for an understandable subject, which is for educational purposes.
