Video with distorted copyrighted music in background
I shot a promotional video for a club.
There is a copyrighted song being
played during the interview at the
time and you can hear it if you listen
closely. Can I still upload the final
video to their website since I did not
intentionally edit the song into the
video? Thanks!
Re: Video with distorted copyrighted music in background
Thanks for your question. Without the benefit of viewing the piece or more detailed info, it sounds like your best bet would be a fair use argument.
My approach in your defense would be to argue that this is incidental use. Of course, obtaining permission is always ideal, but in your example, incidental use may be applicable
If you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitant to contact me.
Warmly,
Bryan
