Linda,
Yes, copyright policies ALWAYS apply, whether for home or corporate use. I
am the copyright 'official' at the church I work at, and what was written
earlier is true, you must observe 'syncronization rights'. What that basically
means is that you want to take a recorded song, and permanently tie a video to
it, creating a new media for the piece of copyright music. If you create a new
media, you need permission.
However, it has been my experience that asking for and getting the rights is
often easeir and cheaper than expected. Becuase I work in the 'charitable
organization' world, it may affect the price of our synchronizaiton
authorization. We have created several 'sync videos' in the past six months,
many of which cost us just $25.00.
What seeems to be the driving force of the cost of the permisson to use a
copyright song is how old (or new) the song is, how many copies will be made,
and how that affects the sales of the song you use. But still, if your client
wants to use a song, it may be worth $100 or so for the sync permission.
But also beware: the warning you read earlier are true. If you make a video
project without the sync rights, and it is found out by the owner of the
copyrigthed material, YOU will be the one responsibile. Even if you get a
contract from your client saying they are responsible, you both will be. You
need to ask yourself, is it worth it? We always answer 'no' around here.
I hope that helps you out Linda. Even though most of my videos are not in
the 'corporate' world, we both have to follow the same copyright law. Many
organizations in my world have tried to work around it, some have been caught
and have paid heavy fines for thier efforts.
Have a great day and continue to make great videos.

If a video is only ever played within the marketing suite of a company's
office, do all the normal music copyright restrictions still hold true?
Client wants to use a pop tune.....
Where would I learn more?
Thanks, Linda
