Copyrightⓒ

Copyright is the thing that protects us from others stealing our ideas, and etc etc. I’m sure we all get what it does to a basic understanding.

The way I see it, is that a product or idea can have a Copyright so that it is protected from others of stealing it, using it for their own profit, and exploiting it as their own.

Now, for my college project at the moment our task it to create a music video. We choose the song and we choose how we want our music video to look. Any style of video and anything we want basically. My idea is to create a Typography animation of the song Wild Wild West by Will Smith. I’ve been working on it for a couple weeks now, had around 45 seconds a few days ago and thought to upload it to facebook to show friends and family a preview of what I’ve done so far.

A few days later after uploading it and receiving a few comments, I log on to find that it has been deleted and removed from my videos due to copyright infringement?!..

Now I can understand a tiny bit why they took it down, because of the fact I clearly didn’t created the song itself. HOWEVER, I also CLEARLY stated I did not create the song itself and only the video, and I gain NO profit from uploading the video so that just my friends can see. They’re just trying to be bloody awkward, because there is no reason why it shouldn’t be allowed up.

twwaaatts.
