And Now, Deep Thoughts...

Licensed Music: Nothing Beats It.This question has come up a lot lately... "Why can't we have a specific song dubbed over our video?" The answer can be complicated. The simplest way to answer is "Because it's illegal and unethical to insert copyrighted material into a video if licensing for it hasn't been purchased." It's more than just buying an MP3, unfortunately. When you buy a song for $1 and download it, you are purchasing permission to listen to it. In a way, it's like you are renting it; You can't legally copy it or build something else with it. You can only listen to it. When you hear a popular song in a movie or a commercial, the publishing company charges the filmmaker a unique price for a custom license. Let's just say, it's going to be out of almost everyone's wedding budget.
