Can I use a song under copyright for a video I make?

In Minnesota, it is illegal to use a song under copyright for a video you create without getting permission from the copyright holder. This means that any songs, lyrics, film clips, photographs, and other content that you use in your video must have been either created by you or licensed for use in your video. If you are unsure if a song or other content is copyrighted, it is best to consult with an attorney or copyright attorney before using it. If you try to use a copyrighted song without permission from the copyright holder, not only are you breaking the law and possibly liable for copyright infringement, but you can also incur penalties, such as having your video taken down, receiving a cease and desist order from the copyright holder, or having to pay damages. If you would like to use a copyrighted song in your video, you must approach the copyright holder and ask for permission to use it. There are a few ways you can do this. You can either approach the copyright holder directly, or you can search for an independent artist or company that has a license allowing them to provide permission for the song’s use. You should also be aware that some copyright holders may charge a fee for the use of their song, so make sure to ask about any potential costs. By getting permission to use a copyrighted song in your video, you are ensuring that you are not breaking copyright law and that your video is legally compliant.
