Non-copyright music

Copyright is a legal concept which gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. It enables the copyright holder to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work and who may financially benefit from it. In regards to copyrighted music the artists or record company have copyrighted the most popular music so that know one could use it to their benefit or steal it for themselves. It is important for the artist to copyright their music to ensure they make money from it. they make the most money from advertisements and in films which if they weren't copyrighted then they wouldn't have to pay the artists.

This could cause problems and issues as for my music video I will have to use non-copy righted music, or get permission to use it or it is illegal as the video will be going onto youtube. If I did use copy righted music on my video it could be removed from youtube and I could even be prosecuted.
