widget Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Just wondering, with the amount of sites out there offering embedded music videos etc. Is it breaking copyright to have these on your own website? I wanted the users on my site to be able to collect virtual CD's and when they click a cd in their collection they get a music video. Now I know I cant go and name the CD after the real song or artist but well, just looking for your thoughts and opinions. Also if anyone knows any good links to royalty/copyright free music?

The Little Guy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You need to buy the rights to each video for it to be legal, Yahoo does it, (I am not sure how YouTube does it, or how that is legal, but I guess it helps the artist if it is on YouTube, so maybe they don't care?) I think you aslo need to buy the rights to have music on your site too... or maybe I am in the dark about all of this music rights stuff...

widget Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was just going to grab the embedding code, even if it was from youtube but well if it wasn't legal I would assume they wouldn't have the embed source code available.

The Little Guy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well... I guess doing that is perfectly fine, sine YouTube gives you the embedded code to add a video to your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
