About This Document

Video copyrights give the creators of the video, exclusive rights of the video such that there cannot be any unauthorized copying or distribution without the creator's permission. This is because the persons appearing in the video have their rights to privacy and one would not want to interfere with this as it might lead to lawsuits (Cedillo-Hernandez, Cedillo-Hernandez, Garcia-Ugalde, Nakano-Miyatake and Perez-Meana 2016).

Video Copyrights 2IntroductionThe report below looks at video copyrights. When an audiovisual work is licensed, then itis copyrighted. Video copyrights give the creators of the video, exclusive rights of the video suchthat there cannot be any unauthorized copying or distribution without the creator's permission.The copyrights of a video are contained in the Copyright Act under Section 102. This actprotects the rights of audiovisual works that are original. An audiovisual work consists of related images that include audio and video which areshown with a projector or any other electronic equipment. The copyright of any audiovisualwork is owned by the creator who becomes the copyright holder. The copyright holder thus hasall the rights to a video and decides what can or cannot be done with it.BodyFactors to considerWhen copyrighting a video, there are several factors to consider to ensure the rights in thecopyright act are followed. Some of these factors areReleases: release forms are very important when creating a video. This is because thepersons appearing in the video have their rights to privacy and one would not want to interferewith this as it might lead to lawsuits (Cedillo-Hernandez, Cedillo-Hernandez, Garcia-Ugalde,Nakano-Miyatake and Perez-Meana 2016). Therefore, before shooting a video, it is advisable forone to have every person that will appear in the video to sign a release form. By signing the formany person in the video gives away their rights to the video and the creator can use it as theyplease. It also allows the creator to use the footage for commercial or non-commercial purposes(Ahuja and Bedi 2015)

Video Copyrights 3Recording location: before recording the creator has to look for a suitable site that doesnot infringe anyone's rights. One has the right to shoot a video in any public place such as thestreets. On the other hand, one is not allowed to shoot in private areas that involve interferingwith a person's privacy (Baloch, alias Kashif, Chachar and Solangi 2017). These places are suchas homes and business places. These places only become an exception if the owner hasauthorized permission.Legal audio: all video contains audio. A creator can decide to use their sound (one thatthey have created) or use another person's audio. If the creator uses another person's video, theywill have to obtain a license from that person before including it in the video (Chawla andSharma 2017) Also in this case we have to buy out music. In buyout music, one pays the ownerof the license a one -time fee that allows them to use the music for an unlimited time.Stills and images: this is the same as the audio. The creator can decide to use their own oranother person's. In this case, the creator is supposed to seek permission from the owner of theimages before incorporating them in one's video (Cedillo-Hernandez 2016)Copyright notice: once the creator is done shooting the video and decide to copyright it,they need to include a copyright notice in the video. The notice should also appear on the DVDor any other packaging that will contain the video (Gull and Flowers 2016). A copyright noticeusually entails the symbol ©and the date of its creation.Copyright registrationVideo creators usually copyright their work because they feel it is of value and fear onemight copy it. The process of registering a video for copyrights is straightforward. One will visitthe site for Electronic Copyright Office. This site is found at copyright.gov/eco/. Once one seesthe site, they are required to log in (Montoro-Pons and Cuadrado-García 2018).
