Whilst deliberating over what music and sounds we wanted to use in our OTS, we had to research copyright laws in order not to break them unintentionally.
Copyright
Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original
work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. Copyright does
not protect ideas, only their expression. In most jurisdictions copyright arises
upon fixation and does not need to be registered.
Copyright owners have the exclusive statutory right to exercise control over
copying and other exploitation of the works for a specific period of time, after
which the work is said to enter the public domain.Uses covered under
limitations and exceptions to copyright, such as fair use, do not require permission
from the copyright owner.
All other uses require permission and copyright owners can license or permanently
transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others..

-This is a section taken from wikipedia.
There are principally 2 types of copyright to consider when we talk about music copyright.
-The traditional ©, ‘C in a circle’ copyright, applies to the composition, musical score,lyrics as well as any artwork or cover designs, as all of these are individually subject
to copyright in their own rights, (though when you register, you can include them all in
a single registration provided they have the same copyright owner(s)).
-The second type of copyright applies to the sound recording itself, and is signified by
the ‘P in a circle’
.

.If we want to use music in our piece, it must either be copyright free, or only be used
for a small amount of time. We will need to consider this when editing the music
into our final piece.
