This document discusses record labels, copyright, and choosing an appropriate label for a new artist. It notes that there are major and independent labels, and recommends an independent label like VP Records for a new artist entering a genre they specialize in, like reggae, dancehall, or soca. Copyright gives artists and producers authority over how their musical works are used and exploited. When using copyrighted music in one's own videos, proper attribution showing one does not own the song is required.
