Zombies have invaded PopCap Games, and they’ve even made a music video! Visit www.plantsvszombies.com for more details on the game!

Song Lyrics:
(chorus)
There’s a zombie on your lawn
There’s a zombie on your lawn
There’s a zombie on your lawn
We don’t want zombies on the lawn

I know your type: tall, dark, and dead
You want to bite all the petals off of my head
And then eat the brains of
the one who planted me here

I’m just a sunflower but see
me power an entire infantry
You like the taste of brains
we don’t like zombies

I used to play football
Road cones protect my head
I have a screen-door shield
We are the undead

(repeat chorus)

Maybe it’s time to reevaluate
I know you have a lot of food on your plate
Brains are quite rich in cholesterol

You’re dead so it doesn’t matter,
Instead we’ll use this solar power
to make a lawn defense at any hour

I like the tricycle
There’s butter on my head
I’m gonna eat your brains

(repeat chorus)

I own an 8GB 2nd generation iPod Touch and so far, it has been a reliable music player. However, I want to get myself a new portable music player and I was wondering what you would recommend. I am open to all suggestions however, I want a portable music player that is able to play FLAC (or any other lossless format) music files and that has the capacity to hold A LOT of music.

Is it illegal to make music videos but without the actual music?

December 5, 2011 by · 2 Comments
Filed under: Music 

I am thinking about making creative music videos to put on my blog (that i intend to make money with). If I include the music (not mine) in the video then that would probably be copyright infringement. But what if I don’t include it and instead give people links to the music so that they can then play it themselves as background music? If this is still illegal, are there any legal loopholes? PS: I’ve heard of audioswap but it doesn’t have the music i want.

As long as you are not directly promoting any theft of the music and the link you provide goes to a reputable source you should be ok. HOWEVER…. If you are taking money from people to watch your video with ANY kind of "PROMOTION" of the music you would likely be in breach of copyright by familiarality. At the very least, the PRS and others would be on you like flies on a turd. I really wouldn’t do it.
