Copyright is "the exclusive and assignable legal right, given to the originator for a fixed number of years, to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material" (http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/copyright)
Copyright is important as it protects someones creation and prevents people from exploiting their created product for their own personal gain. It also prevents impostors from taking the product as their own and allows the creator to have all rights over their created product.
This however raises problems and obstacles for me as I require a song in order to create a music video for it. Any songs made by signed artists will therefore be copyrighted meaning I will be unable to use their songs due to current laws. Therefore I will have to rely on unsigned artists. As they are unsigned artists they are not surrounded in many copyright issues and this can help them receive more exposure.
