Explanation:

Copyright law can be defined as a set of formal rules granted by a government to protect an intellectual property by giving the owner an exclusive right to use while preventing any unauthorized access, use or duplication by others.

A copyright can be defined as an exclusive legal right granted to the owner of a creative work (intellectual property) to perform, print, record, and publish his or her work. Also, the owner is granted the sole right to authorize any other person to use the creative work. The copyright law which protects the sharing and downloading rights of music is known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Furthermore, an intellectual property can be defined as an intangible creation of the human mind, ideas, thoughts or intelligence.

In this scenario, a musician creates a song using samples of a copyrighted work and then uses a Creative Commons license to publish the song. This is an action that is most likely to raise legal or ethical concerns because he didn't get a license from the other musicians who he used their work.

A Creative Commons license is simply a public copyright license that allows for the free distribution of a copyright protected material and it can only be used by the intellectual property owner.
