Unit 1 Section 6 Task 5
Copyright and intellectual property
User-generated content - Content created by non - professionals who then distribute their work online.
One of the arguments that wired uses to give its opinion on copyright is about why the law is there in the first place, suggesting that cover songs on youtube actually promote the track itself and shouldn't really be seen as a negative thing.
In my opinion, UGC artists covering songs should not be subjected to copyright law. This is because I personally don’t understand what harm it does to the actual creator of the track. In a way, it seems like it’s just a way for them to get money. Any song should be allowed a part of a UGC video on youtube, because it helps the video gain likes and so forth.
The video maker is being sued because she used someones music in one of her videos in which she did not own the rights to use.
The opinions differ because the artist does not want dispute and is happy for the video creator to use the song as it gets his music more awareness. The record label has to agree to sue the creator for money otherwise they could be in trouble with the law and court. Therefore, they are just trying to follow laws properly.
