Copyright laws are in place so the artist/performer/writer/inventor
has credit and royalties for their product and are not copied by other people to
earn money. For example, phone companies like Apple will have a pattern on their
technology so that other phone companies cannot copy their software design.
Song writers have control over their creation and receive royalties if anyone
covers or samples their song (with their permission). An example of a lawsuit
would be the 1990’s song ‘Ice Ice baby’ which used the bass line of ‘Under Pressure’
originally performed by David Bowe and Freddie Mercury. After a dispute and denial
of having sampled, Rob Van Winkle admitted to sampling and paid Bowe and
Mercury the money and credited them as co-writers of the song.
In terms of copright
law for our music video we are using Ellie Goulding’s song ‘Fly’ however we are
not making any profit or money out of creating this video and we are not
crediting our selves for the compostion of the song .
