Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. In this case, creating an original score, soundtrack, or foleyed sounds to a film, creating its exclusivity. Copyright ensures the correct usage of the following:
- Author's rights
- Related rights
- Moral rights
- Patent
- Utility model
- Trademark
- Geographical indication
- Trade secret
All of these shown are either adapted or comparable to the laws of copyrighting. Copyright law covers the creative or artistic expression of an idea. Patent law covers inventions. Trademark law covers distinctive signs which are used in relation to products or services as indicators of origin, as does (in a similar fashion), Trade dress. Registered designs law covers the look or appearance of a manufactured or functional article. Trade secret law covers secret or sensitive knowledge or information. I personally believe that copyright laws are overly exaggerated; if you're going to include information (or source) of where you received the particular tool used for self created films, etc... there should be no obligations to sue or ruin that person/s. If anything; this idea of not using copyrighted material excites me to stay true to the use of originality. And since this is a non - profitable task, I would have no concerns for using copyright laws, unless exploited publicly.
