Will Using Duke Ellingtons Music Violate Any Copyright Laws?
July 17th, 2009 at 10:26am Under music copyright
I am putting together a 1 minute video montage for a client of mine and she suggest perhaps putting a Duke Ellington song to it. I want to make sure I do this right as it may be used for a promotional video. Am I violating any copyright laws if do this even though he is passed away. Is their a website that explains copyright laws when it comes to music and that is easy to understand? I see video mixes all over youtube that have new songs put to them and I highly doubt they have permission. Thanks.
