So, create your videos now and share them with us! Respect for Existing CopyrightYou must be the original author of everything in your video or have permission to use copyright-protected material. Be creative but think carefully about what you put into the video. If you are considering using existing music, video clips, photos, etc., it is very likely that someone else owns a copyright to that material. In this case, be sure to obtain the copyright owner’s written permission before using the material in your video. All music basically contains two copyrights: the sound recording and the underlying song composition (music publishing rights). In a video where you are using a cover song, you need to negotiate a synchronization license. Most of these will go through the Harry Fox Agency. However, many music publishers have entered into license agreements with YouTube permitting the use of the songs they control in exchange for a percentage of any advertising revenues. So, in some cases, YouTube has already obtained an agreement with the music publisher, so you would be OK covering the song. To determine whether or not a publisher is participating in an agreement with YouTube, you can contact the publisher directly. Publisher contact information may be found at ASCAP or BMI. You can also go to one of the royalty-free music sites and buy a track for a couple bucks that you can use all you want (e.g., incompetech.com, audimicro.com, etc.). With all that having been said, we do prefer original music, even if you are just humming… Photo ContestPictures can include couples sailing, families sailing, Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages (KLSC) activities (non-sailing), sailing lessons, etc. There will be a voting period on our Facebook page where the owner of the photo with the most “Likes” will get a free 3-night stay at KLSC. There is no limit to the number of photos entered. To our guests who didn’t join the previous contests, this is your chance! Make sure to include captions with your submissions.
