Copyright can protect:
- literary works,
- dramatic works,
- musical works
- artistic works,
- layouts or typographical arrangements
- recordings
- broadcasts
Copyright is important because to creators like writers and artists as well as those such as publishers that own rights, as it provides them with a legal right of ownership of the work that they produce. It prevents others duplicating their work and claiming ownership.
There are problems and issues it might create during my project as the song used would not be mine, this means that I would be breaking the law.
This is why it is important for myself to use unsigned artist, from sources such as www.unsigned.com, because it means that I would not be breaking copyright right rules, as many of them are are unsigned therefore copyright laws do not apply to them.
However, I still need to ask permission to use their recordings.
