Copyright is a form of protection on a type of property. This includes designs, music, videos, books etc. There are laws in which the original creator of the work has the rights of the use of the work created. If others copy, distribute or modify the work then this frauds the legal use of the copyright law unless permitted by the creator to do so.
A person can obtain clearance from which an agreement is made with the original copyright owner to use their work in a way that is agreed. Clearance from music for example for a TV company want to use a soundtrack, they would have to obtain clearance from the artist of that sound piece.
My personal view on copyright is that it should only be viewed as infringing if your deliberately taking someone else's creation and try to label it as yours. I feel if its for non marketing reasons e.g. youtube then it should be okay, the law is very inconsistent in which peoples videos on youtube get taken down for infringing copyright but the majority don't, its annoying when videos get taken down cause of some footage what isn't yours or music what isn't yours but its only a fun video which won't disturb the creators economy at all.
