Foley: Why does it prevent copyright issues?



Why Foley Prevents Copyright issues

Foley can prevent copyright issues for a multitude or reasons. The reasons behind this is that the Foley is created for a certain project and collaborated together in post production meaning that the Foley sounds overlap each other. Because the Foley is overlapped with all the over audio including soundtrack, characters talking and other Foley effects, It is near impossible to extract the sound from the project and the other method is to recreate the sounds, which means that you have created it and the copyright belongs to you.

Foley sound is also sound created from ordinary items and ordinary sounds that are heard on a day to day basis unless specified are not subject to copyright after all, Is it easy to copyright the sound of any old creaking chair? I do hope not.
