Information about Copyright


Copyright is a legal concept which gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. Copyright gives the holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work, who may perform the work, and who may profit from it. The duration of copyright is usually the whole life of the creator plus fifty to a hundred years from the creator's death, but for corporations can be finite. Most jurisdictions recognise the limits to a copyright, and allow fair exceptions to give users certain rights. The development of digital media and computer network technologies have introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyrights.

The reason we use music from Un-Signed.com is so we do not violate the copyright of artist's work. This means we cannot use the music to make another video for the work. Artists on sites such as Un-Signed have not copyrighted their music, due to either lack of money or they want people to use their work, which can increase the profile of the band and song.
