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

In Nebraska, it is not legal to use a song that is under copyright in a video without the permission of the copyright holder. Copyright law states that only the copyright holder has the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute a specific work. Without the permission of the copyright holder, you could face legal action. If you are granted permission to use the song, be sure to include an acknowledgment of the copyright holder in the video. Additionally, it’s important to be aware of the terms of the license permission. For example, a license may grant the user the right to reproduce and distribute the song in a video, but not allow them to make any modifications or changes to the song. Additionally, you should do your research to ensure that the song does not have any sampling restrictions. Sampling restrictions are a form of copyright protection that prohibits the use of audio samples from a particular song or artist without their permission. In short, it is not legal to use a song under copyright in a video without the permission of the copyright holder. Be sure to get the proper permission from the copyright holder and familiarize yourself with the terms of the license before using the song in your video.
