Record labels coordinate the production, distribution, and promotion of music. They sign artists, put them in studios to create albums, distribute and sell copies of the music, and promote the artists through media appearances and other marketing. The record label enforces copyright protection of songs and music videos. My artist would be signed to a major label like Epic Records, which has a variety of genres and similar artists. As a record label, I would coordinate the production and promotion of my artist's music, while protecting the copyright.
Record labels and permissions
- 1. Record Labels and Permissions By Farida Islam
- 2. • After an act is signed by a record label they're put into a studio to create music, the record label then starts to create copies of the finished product. They then distribute copies of the album/single and begin to promote it to the audience. For example the record label organises interviews for the act on TV, radio, online websites, magazine etc. • A record label: -coordinates the production, manufacture and distribution of music -markets and promotes artist/song -enforces copyright of song and music videos -conducts talent scouting and development of new artists -maintains contracts with artists and their managers
- 3. • My artist would be signed to a major label, as she is a pop artist and fairly mainstream several similar artists are on major labels also. • I think that my artist would be most suited to Epic Records as it has similar artists signed to it and is an artistic freedom label. • Epic Records is a subsidiary of the conglomerate Sony Music Entertainment. It was first launched in 1953 by CBS records, it marketed jazz, pop, and classical music that didn’t fit in with the mainstream Columbia Records. By the 1960s the label expanded to a variety of genres. Epic Records have signed artists such as Avril Lavigne, Andre3000, Cher Lloyd, Karmin, Natasha Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles, The Fray, The Script etc. Presently Epic Records has a very broad genre based music label.
- 4. • Copyright is given to the creator of 'original work' it is an exclusive right of protection. Copyright protection is given to the authors of 'original works of authorship', including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other works. This protection covers both published and unpublished work. The record label enforces the protection of songs and music videos . • I can avoid copyright issues by giving full credit to the original artist and record label. Also by asking permission from the record label if I can use the song for my own creative purposes. I am not allowed to take full credit of the song otherwise I would be breaching the copyright law. • I am going to create and add my record label logo onto my digipak and advert. Also I will include a copyright symbol so it is then protected by the law.
