5C 2025: Music and Copyright by JPS PAM

Group 10

Kayden, Joseph, Soon Teck, Lukesh

Music should be free for everyone.

So people that are not musicians can enjoy music

Group 7 Damien Jit Ann Zi Jun Sugadeesh

2025-09-23 00:52:31 UTC

There should be no copyright for music.

If there is no copyright artist can create more music with other melodies.

Group 1, Tianyou, Raghav, Stewart, Yu Zhe

2025-09-23 00:53:47 UTC

Yes, as we can play and try new instruments. Everyone can also enjoy different types of music, even if they do not have sufficient money to purchase a song, and try out new experiences.

Group 5, Faith, Yujie, Xing Ling, Yanyue

2025-09-23 00:55:07 UTC

People should always pay for music.

The music producers spend countless of days just to produce one song so that people can enjoy their music. If we do not pay them, they won’t earn a lot of money in order for their career to succeed.

Group 8, Lukas , Benedikt , Shawn

2025-09-23 00:55:20 UTC

We think people should always pay for music because if people do not pay for the music, the musicians who made the music piece will not be able to profit from it.

Grp3 Rachael,Cathleen,Vivian,Yuk Xin

2025-09-23 00:55:29 UTC

All music should be free for everyone. As people with no money cannot buy it and money cannot buy happiness

Group 6 (Hwee Suan Huiyi Reann Jaen)

2025-09-23 00:55:51 UTC

we believe music should be free because everyone should have the luxury of listening to songs made by people to share their emotions.

Group 4:Aariz,Waylon,Lewis,Adil

2025-09-23 00:56:47 UTC

Musicians put a lot of time, effort, and resources into creating their music. Paying for it makes sure they can continue their work. While music apps have made music more accessible, they don't always compensate artists fairly, especially independent musicians. By buying music, whether downloads, an app or CDs, ensures the artist receives a larger portion of the money made.

Deepthi,Venpa,Angeli,Ler Xuan -group 2

2025-09-23 00:58:06 UTC

People should pay for music as composers spend many hours to compose the tune and lyrics.if others steal and take credit for other composers s work, it is unfair

Group 9

2025-09-23 00:58:48 UTC

We think music should be free to be sampled or to be listened to because it is music and we shouldn’t not need to pay $30 just to sample 3 seconds of a song for our songs. If we can sample good music, we don’t need to listen to bad music cuz they can sample parts of a song and make the song better.

(Please include your names in this post under comment)

Question D

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:41:34 UTC

If music is free for everyone, do we still need to give credit to the person who made it? Why?

Question B

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:42:13 UTC

Who really "owns" a song? The singer who sings it, or the composer who wrote it?

Question C

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:43:13 UTC

If you wrote a song and a YouTuber takes your song and uses it in their video without asking. Is it fair? Why or why not?

Question E

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:43:52 UTC

Should the birthday song be protected by copyright, or should they always be free? Why?

Question F

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:45:23 UTC

Do you think copyright helps musicians, listeners, performers, or? Explain.

Question A

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 03:50:17 UTC

If a singer takes a small part of another song (a sample), and puts it in their new song, is that copying or creating? Why?

You may refer to the Art Padlet on Copyright

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-23 09:32:38 UTC

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-30 00:23:29 UTC

Split into 2 big groups:

Free Music VS Against Free Music

Each mini group to refine and prepare 1 strongest point with examples.

Use real-life examples e.g. Streaming platforms, organisations in Singapore supporting the Arts etc.
Find a Singapore example e.g. musicians, buskers, composers

Each group to take turns to share their points, groups from the opposite end to counter-argue.

Sentence starters:

"One reason is that..."

"This is important because..."

"I believe that...

"It is fair/unfair because..."

"This shows that..."

"For example..."

"I agree with my teammate because..."

"I see your point but..."

"So in conclusion..."

Personal Reflection

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-09-30 00:25:25 UTC

After listening to both sides of the debate, write your conclusion. Give one reason and one example.

Which side do you agree with more and why?
Has your opinion changed?
What value is most important in this issue?

Sentence starters:

I think music should / should not be free because...
After the debate, I believe...because...
One example that supports my view is...

Group 6

Now, you might be wondering: “If music is free, how do artists get paid?”

Good question. Many artists today actually make most of their money in other ways—like:

Live shows and tours
Merchandise sales
Sponsorships
Licensing for movies, games, and ads
Fan support on platforms like Patreon

Group 9 Cheng bin, kai Jie, joash, yiru

2025-09-30 01:05:12 UTC

We believe music should be free as we beleive everyone deserves to have access to music. Music being free can also benefit small musicians like Bruno mars so that they can be promoted for free instead of wasting all their money for someone to promote their song for the price of all their money, and musicians can make their money from selling merch instead of songs

Question G

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-10-06 09:47:50 UTC

How much do musicians earn through streaming services?

Question H

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-10-06 09:48:26 UTC

How many groups of people are involved in a production of a song? Who are they?

Question I

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-10-06 09:49:06 UTC

How do musicians post their songs online on Spotify or Apple Music? What must they do?

Question J

zheng_yiying1 — 2025-10-06 09:49:31 UTC

In Singapore, if I want to find out more about copyright, where do I look the info from?

Group 4: Lewis,Adil,Waylon,Aariz

2025-10-07 00:50:28 UTC

There are many people involved in the creation of a song as there needs to be a singer, a producer, musicians and videographers.

Other than that, there might still be many people helping with the creation of the song behind the scenes. Like a sound engineer or a

GROUP 10

2025-10-07 00:50:32 UTC

Using a part of someone else's song without permission, a process known as sampling, is considered copyright infringement and is illegal.This is true even if you alter the sample, use only a small portion, or don't make any money from your song.

Group 8 Shawn, Benedikt, Lukas

2025-10-07 00:52:25 UTC

We feel the birthday song should always be free as a birthday is a special day for a person.
