How to deal with the copyright problem of materials

With the rapid development of various short video platforms, more and more people begin to follow dramas and watch movies through short videos. Some original bloggers will write, direct and perform some small scene theaters to attract users' attention and understand the trend and development of the plot. So are these short videos and the materials used in them copyrighted? Let's take a closer look. How to define video copyright

From the perspective of copyright law, the expression of independent creation constitutes a work. Therefore, as long as the short video has original expression and conforms to the copyright law, it belongs to a work created by a similar shooting method.

For a work created jointly by two or more persons, the copyright shall be shared by the co-authors. Where a cooperative work can be used alone, the authors may enjoy the copyright of their respective parts, but the exercise of copyright shall not infringe upon the copyright of the cooperative work as a whole. It can be seen that cooperative works are disposed of according to common property in principle. If a consensus cannot be reached through consultation, others cannot be prevented from exercising their rights without justifiable reasons.

How to deal with the copyright problem of materials

When using all other materials except his own creation, the source of the materials and the information of the original author shall be made clear, and the original author or his agent shall authorize the use. If you use it rashly without authorization, you will risk infringing the copyright of others.

Radio stations and television stations can broadcast published works of others without the permission of the author, but they need to pay some remuneration to them. If it is an unpublished work by the author, you need to get the author's consent before you can use it, and pay the remuneration. BGM used in general variety shows will buy music libraries from copyright music libraries. Online search can find many copyrighted music libraries, some need to pay, and some just need to indicate the source of music. These music libraries will be explained in detail. The TV station will also pay the China Music Copyright Association for the right to use it.

If you edit the video yourself, you don't have to use it commercially, publish it publicly, and there will be no copyright problems. Generally speaking, music released to the public needs to indicate the source. If you can contact the author, you can ask him for authorization to use it again. If you make a profit, you need to pay the author.
