Copyright

Obviously I am now using a track that I have made and produced with my band. Therefore I have managed to negate any copyright issues that I otherwise may of encountered. However it is still important for me to include a post about copyright to show that I am aware of the issues that can arise when producing a music video to a copyrighted piece of music. Also I still have a backup song, which is copyrighted, incase any issues arise with my first choice. Therefore I have researched the copyright laws that affect use of copyrighted material.



Upon close inspection it appears that section 107 of the copyright act allows for fair use, meaning that because my use of the copyrighted material would be educational. I also wouldn't be profiting from the use of the copyrighted material therefore it would in theory be acceptable for me to of used the backup track.
