What is copyright?
Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works” and includes such things as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual creations, both published and unpublished. Copyright does not protect ideas. It only protects the specific and original expression of the idea. A good example of this is that there are many films and books based on the classic boy meets girl theme in which the girl’s parents disapprove of boy and after many tears, true love finally triumphs. This theme cannot be monopolised, but original works to it can be. The same can be said of all other works.( this above information was found athttp://www.piperpat.com/IPInformation/Introduction/WhatisCopyright/tabid/92/Default.aspx)
Why is it important?
It is important so other do not steal the music and sell it as their own that is why there are now many issues and why i can not just use any song without permission because i could get fined or prosecuted so i need to find a way in contacting the artist or their managers or anyone who can answer and give me permission for it to allow me to use it for my school music video.
