Copyright Law

Copyright is a set of exclusive rights given to the copyright holder. Copyrights are given to :

If you have the copyright you can :

Ideas cant be copyrighted but expressions of ideas and facts can be !

There are some exceptions in the Copyright law and it is called "Fair use".
Under fair use you can use copyrighted material if its for :

• Educational Purposes
• Parody

And it also depends how much material you use and if it has effect on the market.

Works are in the "Public domain" if they dont have copyright or it is expired.

 My Thoughts on Copyright Law :

 I think that the copyright law is a good thing because it protects all your hard work. I also think that it would be even better if it was more strict. For example i know how copyright works on Youtube. It should be more strict because you can upload songs that you dont have copyright on.. The trick is , go in an audio editing software and make the song to go 2% faster and there you go.Vevo or any other music production channels cant do anything to you because your song is 3 seconds shorter. That way Vevo for example doesn't get the money he should be getting from the ads.
