Re: Commercial Music Usage Background Information Please

Quote: " I admit that I'm no lawyer, but I would disagree here. If someone hires me to create a video with copyrighted material, as a for-hire artist I am not violating the law by including that song."

This sentence is about 50% correct.:-)

The fine point missed is, you took money to perform that work. That kicks it into a different arena. A home hobbyist making video mix tapes and sharing them with family with no exchange of money is different from a guy who charges money to take known copyrighted material and incorporate all or part of it into another creative work without a rights clearance.

If you have a family depending on your income, you should be careful in the risks you expose yourself to. As I said, likely? Probably not. Safe? Absolutely not.
