Question: What do you need to use somebody’s copyrighted work in your video?
- Explicit permission from the copyright owner
- Link to the original work in the metadata
- On-screen reference at the beginning of the video
- Full name of the owner listed in the final credits
Explanation
Copyright gives the rights holder control over how protected work is copied, distributed, and included in new videos. Giving credit or linking to the source does not create usage rights. Authorization should be secured before uploading, unless a valid exception such as fair use applies. Without proper rights, the video may receive a Content ID claim or copyright removal request.
Why the other options are incorrect
Metadata link does not grant rights to use protected material.
On-screen reference gives credit but does not authorize reuse.
Final credits identify the owner but do not replace required rights clearance.
