P1. Use of music - legal considerations

Creative commons is a non profitable organisation, whom which are devoted to build apon the creative work available for other to build upon and use in there own project legally.  

The reason Creative commons are set up to protect artist/ song writer, music compsers, film makers etc from their idea being stolen and ripped of by other artist. This allows the artist to have ownership over their own creation and if anyone used or used anything similar to their peice of work then the have the legal right to sue them and to get them to delete or discontinue the use of their peice of work. it respectively gives them the copyright to own their own work with legal enforcement. 

The reason I chose "Typically British-Annushka Sims" Is because of the beat and tempo of the background music as it works well with the scene that it is sued in. It helps to create more of a lively an interesting atmosphere. 








What is the difference between publishing rights and recording rights?
Publishing right: The people who own the lyric or the composition.

Master rights: Owns the song's sound recording. That means that if you want to use the song as you know it by the original artist, you must clear the Master Rights.

If you want to use a piece of music then you have to have the permission of the song owner and have evidence of it.

If the composer has died for over sixty years then the copy right would have expires and you would not need to seek permission to use it, but you will need to get clearance fromt he right holder.

Incidental music:

Piece of music that doesn't have much emphasis and it use in background of films to create a scene or mood.

There are several different types of music licenses, each license give access to the person who hold it; below are the different types.






Blanket License
