3 Stories why you need you copyright music |
Posted: June 26, 2020 |
Any musical composition has an author, and the author has rights to the composition. The company that recorded it in the studio, broadcasts on radio or television, and may promote the same composition. Copyright is a big topic; we wrote this article to show you why you need copyright to music and what threatens their absence. You will learn all this further, but for now, just remember the TakeTones.com website where you can always find the music that suits you under the right license and with rights to its commercial use. Restaurant "Big Food"Motor! Camera! Video recording begins. In the frame you can see the old push-button telephone, on the screen - the date and time. A voice-over tells the name of the restaurant, its address and says that the fixation has begun. The camera drops to its feet, making a fixation, these legs become the protagonist of a 15-minute video. This under film has a rather expensive sequel with consequences. A few weeks later, the Big Food restaurant receives a CD with this video, and with it a lawsuit for copyright infringement of $ 40,000. It follows from the lawsuit that the inspector for copyright and related rights came to the Big Food restaurant. His goal was to record on video the fact that the restaurant uses music for which the establishment does not seem to have a license. And this restaurant is far from the only institution to which such a suit came. In the court register you can find many other cases with a variety of amounts of compensation for violation of rights. Some “violators” struggle with these rules and believe that they can do exactly what they did, like Big Food, but someone pays for music and is always calm. (As a rule, the amount of payment for copyright is much less than the sum of fines, this should be considered)
In one of the most popular clubs (we won’t call a name so as not to hit his reputation)One Sunday in one of the clubs, as in the midst of the set (2 a.m.), representatives of the right holding company appeared in the DJ along with representatives of law enforcement agencies and two public persons (witnesses). The purpose of their visit was to verify the legality of the music used for public reproduction. Once again, we are convinced that there are still checks. These representative bodies had questions for the DJ, when at the request of the authorities he presented a daddy with self-cutting CDs and printed track lists to the disks on the printer. The young man could not legally explain the nature of the origin of the materials on these media, all his materials were described in the protocol, and then was taken to the local police station to initiate an administrative case with further transfer to the judiciary for penalties for each track individually!!!! Honestly, this fact is sad on the one hand, but on the other, it can neither rejoice, since at last they took up this mess with illegal mp3s playing on our dance floors. When checking the materials, questions arise for one album because it was not clear whether it was made for private listening, or for professional use., As well as questions regarding materials on the laptop’s hard drive. In general, I am personally pleased that they finally took up “illegal immigrants” on the domestic club scene. The truth is that the question arises - how to prove the legitimacy of the materials used legally acquired? I hope that the verification procedure for musical materials will be further elaborated, since representatives of copyright holders sometimes cannot give answers to some questions. Nevertheless, a start has been made)) Cafe "Children's joy"Cafe "Children's joy" is located in the park. In the cafe premises, songs included in the Register of works of Russian and foreign copyright holders were sounded. The authors of the society made a video in the cafe, made a memo of the control listening, the act and decrypted the recording. They presented to the court a restaurant bill and a cashier's check. As a result, compensation was collected from the owner of the cafe for violation of exclusive rights in the amount of $ 10,000 (judgment of the Intellectual Property Court). A similar responsibility threatens if you show clients movies, cartoons, and videos. So, every person who respects his business should think about acquiring copyright to use music for their own purposes.
