Copyright

For our coursework we had to find music by unsigned artists. Copyright is a set of exclusive rights that are granted to the author or creator of an original work, which includes the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. Therefore had we decided to use a copyrighted song we would have had to get the artists permission, in most cases this would have taken therefore it's easier to use a non copyrighted song.
Some friends from another school who also do media decided to use a copyrighted song by a popular band, but never got a reply back so had to find alternative music to use.
