bob_peters Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'm putting together a slideshow of wedding pictures for a couple and would like to add some music - what tunes do you tend to use? Any ideas of popular choices would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picturesque Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Royalty free tunes. Try stock20 for a good selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conraderb Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 bob - just FYI, you may want to check out the legality of doing this if you are planning to take a few MP3's from your favorite CD of a well known band like U2 or something like that...

www.ericdrichards.com Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 As long as your clients (1) own and (2) provide the music, you can use any at their request. The key with the legal isues with music is that they need to own it - your service is just taking photo and setting them to music they own. 100% legal. If you are looking for a few good tunes, we have a host listed on our website to recommend: www.zvideography.com/songs Best of luck! ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen dohring Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Eric is right - somtimes I buy the music for the client but they provide it. - David Jay in his recent seminar said a friend of his in LA (might have been an attorney) said that use of commercial songs in these type of contexts are going to be allowed soon - legally.

jamespjones Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 having taken some courses in music copyright, I have some real questions as to the legality of using commercial music, for commercial product (a product being sold), without consent. This would be a synchronization issue (do a search for synchronization license). I know people do it, I'm not convinced it is legal - no more than the online music systems that have attempted to skirt copyright by "confirming" that you own a CD and then letting you stream it from their servers (which I believe have been shut down). Check with a lawyer, the publisher, and perhaps Harry Fox Agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
