My video guy has, without checking with me, used the theme from the movie 'Rocky' in a clip

Now I have no idea if that is copyrighted or not which got me thinking

how would I ever know what use I can put music and other stuff to with or without copyright?

Your wisdom O Warriors is sought yet again by this old noob blundering around on the net

    Assume that any piece of music you find on the internet is under copyright. Even if it was composed decades (or centuries) ago, the recording itself will almost certainly be under licence, with royalties payable to the musicians and/or the publisher (usually via a collection agency).

    To be sure you're not violating copyright, you could:

    - Commission your own piece of music
    - Obtain a royalty-free or royalty-paid clip from a specialist provider
    - Go to a music publisher and negotiate a usage fee
    Signature
