Copyright

Copyright means that the creator will have the exclusive right to an 'original' piece of their work. If you wish to use this then you will have to be granted permission by the creator. An example would be our media work for this year. If we were to choose a song that someone had copyrighted because they had written it or bought the rights to it, then we would have to contact the 'owner' of this song and ask for permission to use it in our work. In other cases, peoples use of someone else's song could make money, but this would have to be discussed with the owner and they would talk about having a percentage of what's made etc.
