Copyright is when a person has deliberately copied another artists work to have the same affect as they artist. Copyrighting is used a large amount in the music industry, as many artists use this as a way of using other artists soundtracks in their music even if they are going to change the words. The copyright law first appeared in the united kingdom as a concept of common law. It then became a statutory agreement when the law was passed in 1911. The act that is now apparent is the copyright, design and patents act 1988.
The rules and regulations of copyright:
This law has rules that are set in place to ensure that the artists work is protected from copyrighting. The rules of overcoming the copyright law in that you have to make contact with the artist and ask for their permission, once it has been given you are able to use significant parts of the music. It is then advisory for the artist to see the music first so that they are able to say if they do not like anything that is significant to their music. If the permission is not given, but the video is made the artist can get the video blocked or they can even sue the person that made the video without their permission. This will effect my music video as i will have to get permission from the artist to make the video.
Examples:
An example of copyright is Vanilla Ice song 'Ice Ice Baby', when he made this song in the 1990 it was taken from the song that was originally sung by Queen and David Bowie 'Under Pressure' the song was originally made in 1981. Vanilla Ice then became a household name for the copyright of this song. In his song Vanilla Ice changed the rhythm of his music hoping that this would take the attention off the fact that the song was stolen. This is one of the most famous versions of copyright in the world that are involving music.
