       Dear all,

                I am a new videographer, and I just established my own video produciton comany. When I uploaded a few my works on youtube, I got email form youtube and says content ID matched with my video or some of the music in my video is own by sony music recording company. you tube says that they will not take action this time, but I am worried next time they will ban me out :-(

               Also, Since I am doing commercial business, any video DVD I made for my customer has copyrighted muisc content inside. Even those muisc are Legally downloaded from I TUNE, I still need to  buy the copy right for each song or a yearly contract for all songs. Where can I buy it?

               What about photos, if I buy the pictures from fotosearch.com, can I put them in my conmercial video?

      Thanks for all your help in advance!

      Smart,

      Music 'legally downloaded from iTunes' are for individual personal consumption only. iTunes and other services like it are 'consumer based'. That meaning you purchase the permission to listen to it, not use it for anything else. Used to be you could use stuff like that under the 'fair use' guidelines long as you didn't try to repackage the work for sale.

      Your client did not have the rights from Sony (the rights holder) to use said music in their video. If they do which I doubt, they need to produce the documentation asap. Those DVD's you made with that illegal music carry a penalty should Sony move on you with litigation for selling them without their consent. Each disc they prove you sold carries an individual penalty which according to copyright law will be held against you the distributor. Average penalties for each instance of infringement run upwards of $50k.

      The 'Tube actually did you a favor by blocking your upload which brought this to your attention. Your best bet is to 'can' all the finished DVDs with the illegal music on them asap. If possible, you should recut the video to royalty-free music as to avoid this kind of costly amateur mistake. The good thing is you caught this in time and asked questions here.

      Yes, when you purchase photos, music, graphics and so on from services like fotosearch or whatever, make sure you read the fine print on what you can and cannot do with the materials. The main things to look for are 'royalty-free', 'without restrictions' and 'without time limits'. The legit services and vendors will have most or all of those phrases in their 'eula's'. If you don't see any of those phrases, move on to a service that does.

      If you run a search on these forums for "royalty free" you'll get a plethora of sources for royalty free assets of all types (music, graphics, stock video & photos, etc...).

      For affordable royalty-free music that you can use for commercial purposes and legally on YouTube, you might also try MusicRevolution.com https://www.musicrevolution.com , an innovative online marketplace for royalty-free production music. I am the co-founder.

      You can look for free music most are under creative commons. Since you are using this for commercial projects, I would suggest you purchase from royalty free sites that provides you with a license agreement. you can provide youtube with your license agreement to substantiate that your music is royalty free and that you have the rights to use them.

      I suppose you will be using music frequently seeing you are in video production and perhaps sites that offer CD options are good so you can build your own personal go to library. Sites like http://www.opuzz.com/, http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/ or http://www.musicbakery.com/ are good places to start. Opuzz also offers hard drive options with complete library or part of their library on it. Downloads are good too but won't be as cost effective on the long term. CSSmusic has a hard drive too but it is quite a bit more expensive compared to Opuzz.

      For sound effects, I would look for sound bible. Heard it is from one guy but the stuff is excellent.

       Photosearch links to various outlets. You should look at the usage policy, i. e. Editorial, Personal Use, Right-Managed or Royalty Free. The latter gives you the option to commercially use with stipulated limitations - check the fine print. istockphoto.com is a huge source of cheap royaly free images.

      I'm compiling all the websites I find with the best quality but lowest price music, photos, images, sound effects etc for all to use on my blog at http://www.cinebasics.tumblr.com.

      I've found some great soundtracks for under 4.00, for example, which is half what istock charges. There's a ton of musicians out there who are more than happy to let you use their music for cheap. I sell footage and photos on iStock and they can be expensive. If you are just starting out there's many cheaper resources out there. The track I used for this job cost me 14.00 which is the most I've paid in awhile. http://cinebasics.tumblr.com/post/3922857846/film-coverage-teaser-for-denver-film-societys#disqus_thread

      Digital Juice is my go to place for royalty free music. I own every music track they have produced, which the exception of their Worship Series (which I will eventually buy) and one the the Backtraxx. Their music is customizable and very affordable.
