Problems Encountered (Charles Mossman)

Recently our music video for the first draft and final draft have encounter problems to play with the visuals and audio aspects due to the factor of copyright laws/issues. As of this, even though we have asked the Universal Music Groups UK permission to use the song for only educational purposes and they have given us permission to use it online via You Tube, other issues have had an unfortunate matter over the use of UMG on copyright ground.

This has had some concern of the viewing content of the music video and the group have tried our very best to target the issue with a plan of action to post a copyright notice to You Tube stating that the video is only for educational purposes. Although, whenever this issue will be fully resolved or not depends, as the group could be facing a major issue facing the factor of copyright laws and legislations.

However, the group still has been able to get a significant number of views and responses for the music video from the target audience before we had encountered this factor, so not getting audience responses has not been an issue for me and the group. In addition, within the music videos first draft and final draft blog posts I have been able to put hyperlinks within the blog posts above the video so that the viewer can click and watch the video on a Google Drive platform, which I believe is a good way to try and tackle this issue and so still be able to get a growing number of views.
