Only the owner or creator of the work is allowed to produce or reproduce the work or permit anyone else to do so. Copyright is restricted to the expression of an idea, such as a video, but does not extend to the idea itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copyright includes <\/strong>such things as: books, pamphlets, magazine articles, posters, poems, films, videos, plays, screenplays, scripts, music only, words and music, paintings, drawings, maps, photographs, and sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not covered by copyright <\/strong>are such things as: names or slogans, short phrases and most titles, such as song titles, and factual information. However, some may be covered by trademark, such as a Giants t-shirt or a logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is a Trademark?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Trademarks are used to identify the difference between products of one person or company from those of another. You cannot use things like slogans, names of products, distinctive packages or unique product shapes, such as the Nike symbol, or a t-shirt or cap with the symbol on it, a 7 Eleven sign in the background, a cigarette package showing a brand name, a Giants shirt, a specific car make or model, or a government sign about selling tobacco to minors, that you see in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What types of music can I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that you might like the words to a song and want to use them, using a different tune, but that is NOT allowed. Or, you might want to use the melody of a song and put your own music to it \u2014 that is also NOT allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What pictures can I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What is Public Domain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A public domain work is a creative work not protected by copyright and which may be freely used by everyone. This is because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) the term of copyright for the work has expired<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) it is something produced by the government<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of government materials, it is still best to check with the originator. Material available on the Internet is NOT considered to be in the public domain. Facts from the Internet can be used, but pictures, music, etc., are restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the Release Form?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This form is necessary to allow the Street Smarts Program, and its partnering agencies such as CTV and CCTV, to obtain the rights to the use of the video for other purposes, such as producing a compilation video of the winning entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do I need to fill out a Release Form and who should sign it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A completed Release Form is required for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A parent signature is required on all Release Forms or the video submission will not be considered for contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I get the Release Form signed, am I signing away my right to own the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the Street Smarts Program, and its participating public agencies, will then own the copyright and can use the video in any manner whatsoever. However, you can use it for a resume or personal use, but NOT commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n END NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n for participating and supporting<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n San Ramon Valley Street Smarts Programs!<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please sign up through this Pre-Entry link for the Video Contest.
