Why is Copyrighting important ?
Copyrighting is important as it protects the creator of the product as no one else can use or reproduce the product without the permission of the creator, it also protects the artist/creator by preventing the loss of profit and ideas.
Problems and issues during our project
The problems that might arise from from using others music and copyright regulations are we have to get permission for the particular music therefore if we don't ask permission our videos may be pulled down from youtube which then leads to the examiner being unable to see our video on youtube which will lead to a low grade.
Finding an unsigned artist
Finding an unsigned artist is better for our project this is because the artist normally agrees to give you their music as the music video will allow the song to be promoted and exhibited, therefore promoting the unsigned artist.
