First thing to recollect is that copyright laws do in fact provide aegis for any type of work and this white paper will key in on the US Copyright Law of 1974. Many do not understand what a copyright is or who has the right too one, for what importance is it intended for, and what does it safeguard. Copyright is defined as; a form of clear-sighted property provided by the laws of the US. It was denoted to provide sign for one’s unique work that incorporate authorship, printed or unpublished for the following groups; videos, portraits, live shows, music, software, images and literary works (Alexander, Isabella, and Gómez-Arostegui). These rights make it illicit for anyone who disregards them, however, but are not inhibited in scope.

The Copyright of 74 is composed of sundry sections and sections 107 through 122 establish the circumscriptions on these rights. The primeval author that produced the work will have his or her work safeguarded by the Copyright law (Štrba, Susan). Furthermore, only the author that produced the work will have her or his work safeguarded along with anyone else stemming their rights through the author. Anyone else the author contributes rights to would be measured works made for hire. So, the operating of videos from the Web would fall on the Section 101 of the copyright law which defines work made for hire as: translation, a test, collation, additional work, instructional material, answers to a test, and any labor done by a worker that is cognate to her or his job.

In the mentioned ways it’s how the cyber world videos fall under the copyright of 1974. There are many other groups that do not get any copyright support. These groups are; works that are not concrete expression, catchphrases or slogans, ideas, thoughts, and work that has no source.

These are some of the ways that a company can use the internet videos and not fear of breaking any copyright laws. Since the subcontractor wants to use the videos to market the company, he or she should do it in a way that they adopt the form that is not covered by the copyright laws (Das, Jatindra). The use of videos in the company is mainly due to a numbers of reasons; the first of the reason why it’s nice to use the videos is they reach very many people. Very may people would rather watch a short videos than spend time reading about a company.

The video can be shared to very many people on different social media platforms thus reaching a larger target group of people than any other media. Finally the videos offer the opportunity for the company to connect with its customers. It helps in building the customer’s relationship ad also creates some levels of trust that other forms might not achieve. The customers will feel they are valued by the company and they will come back for more. For the purpose of the company the category that would be most appropriate to them would be the informational videos. The use of this form will ensure that there is no copyright violation is do since its does not contain any authorship of any kind. The videos will mainly offer information to its customer’s ad nothing more (Alexander, Isabella, and Gómez-Arostegui). The subcontractor should be very careful never the less to ensure that the video is carefully created.
