Record Labels
Task 4
By Travis Quailey
• A record label is a brand and a trademark associated
with the marketing of music recordings and music
videos as well as promotes the artist and song. My
particular artist Drake would be signed for an major
record label the reason for this is that they are a big
artist so my record label will have the funds to keep a
big artist and also the particular artist has signed for a
major record company the reason for this is that Drake
is a big artist and for him to get the publicity and to see
his songs and albums get the right advertising he
would belong to a major record label.
What is a Record Label?
What is your original artist’s record
label?
• The existing record label my artist signed for is Cash
Money Records this is a record company that Major
record company that was signed many major
artists.Cash Money Records is the record label that has
signed my artists Drake has signed for this record
company is a mainly signs rap artist such as Lil Wayne
, Nicki Minaj and Tyga who are all big rap artists so this
shows that they are a major record label. Cash Money
Records is a American company that was formed in
1991 where they started signing small artists and has
risen to a major company. They have also signed other
artists that are from different genres such as Paris
Hilton
What is copyright and how is the record
company responsible for this ?
• Copyright is when a persons creates something and copyright is to make sure that
no one copies this. It also allows the creator to get reward for what they have
made and make sure that no one copies it. The record label is responsible for
copyright by making sure that no one uses there song without them knowing it.
They also monitor websites such as illegal downloading sites to make sure that
everyone who downloads there songs or album has paid for it in some way. They
also have to watch to make sure that no one has used there song is something an
example of this could be in a YouTube video they would have to ask for permission
from the record company to use it or they could face fines.
• As I will be using a song to make sure that I do not copyright it I will need to take
into consideration that I did not create the song so I will need to ask for permission
from the record company by either writing a letter or email them.Copyrights are
very important because they identify who actually owns the song and song
recording and who gets to make money from it. Also by using another person’s
property you cannot class it as your own piece as you are taking credit from the
producers or creators of the product. Which means that only a copyright
owner, you have the right to reproduce the copyrighted song, to create derivatives
or variations of the song, to distribute it to the public, to perform it publicly, and to
display it publicly.
The creation of my logo
• My logo has to be originally my idea and not
copied and pasted off the internet as it would be
copyright due to the fact that I would be taking
credit for someone else is work, Likewise as if it
was the other way round if I created something
copyright prevents them from using my
masterpiece or design in there own work as they
would need permission from me or the law to do
so. So Adding my logo to a digipack ( Album
Cover ) and adverts wouldn't be a problem as it is
my design and it would make mine independent.
