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.

How do I download music from Itunes without deleting old music?

November 27, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Filed under: Music 

I got a new computer with new music that I want to add to my Ipod. My sister tried it, and the new music replaced the old music and now they are gone. Is there a way that I can download my new music without deleting what I already have I my Ipod (which is not in my itunes) ?
Thanks!

The reason it did this is because if it let you, people could share music without buying their own copy. This won’t work. However, you can share iTunes libraries between computers using home sharing. To enable home sharing, click the advanced tab, then click ‘Turn On Home Sharing’. It will ask you to login. Do this on both computers, then you can view each computer’s libraries of music on the other. Now I don’t have access to it right now, but I believe that there is a button on the bottom that allows you to download everything in the other computer’s library. It you can’t find it/its just not there, then you can select all the song’s you want to copy over and right click, and download them that way.
