IS IT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT TO MIX OR SAMPLE COPYRIGHTED MUSIC?
In this exciting episode of Litigation Whiteboard® Attorney Steve® discusses music sampling and discusses whether it is better to get a license ("clear your copyrights") or to rely on the "Fair Use" defense against copyright infringement. Also provided are tips to avoid willful copyright infringement lawsuits (in those jurisdictions where sampling may be legal).
ATTORNEY STEVE® TOP 4 FAIR USE TIPS
1. Take only what you need (de minimis)
2. Transform the clip (add something new) and make it unrecognizable from the original
3. Use the music clip for parody of the original
4. Do not take and use the title of the original music (but see the 2 Live Crew Case which used "Oh, Pretty Woman."
The best bet is to properly license the music or find music that is "pre-cleared" or "royalty free" or in the public domain, or licensed under creative commons,
If you need help with music licensing, clearance, fair use opinion letters, or mediation, arbitration or litigation involving music samples, contact us at (877) 276-5084.
