In this video, you have assumed that this song is written, produced and performed by the same person - Sam singer. It can confuse songwriters, who do not produce or sing songs. In the above case, if Record Labels or Producers approach songwriters and get a song done, the sound recording royalties can be split between Producers, Performing Artists and Song Writers.
And what about the composition? If the song writer wrote the song but the producer made the beat, does the producer gets a piece of the composition royalties as well? Or only the royalties to the sound recording?
@@nin10do4eve in Copyright jargon, producer is not a person who creates the melody (or the beat). If the beat was created (out of thin air) by a person, that person owns the copyrights. We call beat makers as producers and confuses the whole copyright law identifications. So in your above example the person who “created” the beat (without copying someone else’s original beat), must own composition royalties.
@@Harshadewa So a composition copyright is for the beat maker, all an artist using their beat would need is the sound recording copyright? In the sound recording copyright, is it still important for the beat maker to be credited?
@@jammin9061 Yes due to Moral rights, normally you need to credit the songwriters (e.g. the one who wrote the original beat.). However, if there was an outright purchase/ transfer of copyrights from the original songwriter, then you may not give credit.

Can I use it in my video?
Damn good breakdown... In a simple way 👍!
So I can use it as long as I give credit? I didn't understand much as I am a simple kid
