Copyright Assignment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRYU4cqUAUs

This was a clip from the Disney movie Enchanted. The person who posted it did a good job of citing the clip. He mentioned the artist (Amy Adams) and the composers, Alan Menkin and Stephen Shwartz. He says, "This video is property of Walt Disney Co, and was offered as a free quicktime download on the LA Times website." This shows that he legitimately got the clip, and since it was free, he can post it. And he gave credit where he was supposed to. 







This clip simply has the the Hedwig Theme Song from Harry Potter. It doesn't show other pictures other than the main title. Although they told us what the song was called, they didn't give any credit to the composer (John Williams) or the orchestra that played it. It didn't tell us which movie it was from. Though they may have legitimately bought the song, they shouldn't be able to post it online for everyone to listen to when we haven't bought the song.

  1. You seem to have a good sense of the need to cite, and the need to ask for permission, too. Good work!
