Copyright Reserach

Copyright laws give the creators of literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, sound recordings, broadcasts, etc, rights to control the way their materials may be used. The rights cover; broadcast and public performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting and lending copies to the public. Songs such as Frauds by Scarlet Harlots are protected by this law, and therefore I need permission to use the song in my music video. Normally the individual or collective who authored the work will exclusively own the work. However, if a piece of work is produced as part of employment then it will normally belong to the person/company who hired the individual. However due to the band not being signed to a record label I will have to contact them instead of a record company.
