Video Transcript:
Chorus:
Copyright protects your creation,
all the way across the nation,
when it becomes a real big hit,
you get all the credit!
Kids:
We finished laying down our cd,
Is it time for the release party?
Cop E. Wright:
Once you record those tracks,
Copyright has got your back
Kids:
We wrote this song together one night,
We all get a share of the copyright
(Repeat Chorus)
Kid:
I had a story in my head for a long time,
Typed it up and posted it online,
Now they want to make it a movie,
What does it mean to me?
Cop E. Wright:
Copyright began on your keyboard,
The studio does not get the last word...
(Repeat Chorus)
Kid:
My muse is flowing from my paintbrush,
getting right down to the last touch
Cop E. Wright:
