All video content must be  judged by SEAQ  to be appropriate for student viewing, otherwise videos cannot be accepted.

COPYRIGHT INFORMATION - MUSIC COPYRIGHT 

All images, text, music and sounds used in the videos must either be students'own original work, or have been used with the appropriate copyright permissions.

If requested, written permission for any third-party content included in the videos may be requested.

If students have used, or plan to use, music that is not their own (and that they have not already obtained permission to use), teachers may have to to seek synchronisation rights for them. This licensing will be done directly by the copyright holders, rather than by a central organisation.

Two kinds of copyright can be involved:

• The copyright on the musical composition. This copyright is connected to the writer(s) of the music and is usually administered by a publishing company (in other words, you will usually be dealing with a publisher rather than with composers/songwriters themselves). Rights attached to musical compositions are often referred to as the publishing rights.

• The copyright on the sound recording (if an existing sound recording is being used). This copyright is connected to the recording artist(s) and is usually administered by the record company that releases the recording. Rights connected with sound recordings are often referred to as the master rights.

There are usually contacts in Australia, even if the music is not Australian. Any decisions about fees or any other aspect of the project will need to be negotiated between you and the copyright holder.

There is no central listing of copyright owners, as they are not required to be part of one, but there are various ways to look for the information. If you have enquiries about specific pieces of music, you may use the research facility provided by APRA AMCOS. You can find this on the APRA AMCOS website.
