- What is the difference between publishing rights and recording rights?
Publishing licence is from the people who own the copyright to the piece of music and Recording license is from the people who performed the version of music you want to use.
- How would you go about clearing a piece of music for use in your film?
If it has been published then you have to contact the publisher to investigate who owns the rights to the music. The singer/songwriters aren't always in control of the music as it is often owned by big publishing/recording companies.
- Can you use music in your sequence if the composer has died?
Only if the composer has been dead for over 70 years because the copyright will have expired which means there is no need to seek clearance for the composition however you will need to obtain clearance from the right holder in the recording.
- What is incidental music?
Incidental music is the background music in a film. But if the background music is clear and intentionally used in a scene in a film it will not be incidental.
2) Creative commons
- What is creative commons?
Creative commons is a non-profit organization which is devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. They have released several copy right licenses known as 'Creative commons licenses' which are free to the public. The licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve and which ones they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators.
- Why does it exist?
So that you can use the work without having to seek out the individual creator or licensor and ask for permission.
