Members Nijyo Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 Does anybody know if YouTube pays ASCAP etc. like clubs and hotels that have live music doing covers have to? {thread necromancy engage} No. Otherwise they wouldn't need the audio fingerprinting algorithms that allow publishers/copyright holders to have lists of audio that trigger automatic take downs. Though those algorithms don't account very well for fair use purposes, so themselves are problematic. {/thread necromancy disengage} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doncorleone Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 But if I record it and not intend to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted June 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 14, 2010 If you record it as a demo, then it would not be for sale, so you could use it, and frankly no one from ASCAP/BMI will come knocking on your door at 3AM... but why go to the expense of recording a cover if not for sale at some point, unless it was a live demo?

Good point. I wanted to record it and use it as a freebie on our shows. just to get popular and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheep4 Posted November 29, 2013 Members Share Posted November 29, 2013 What does one do when they wish to record a cover song from an act/artist that is obscure, not listed on one of these sites, or you cannot find the artist to grant personal permissions? Can you move forward with your recording with backlogged intent to pay residuals when/if the artist contacts you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted November 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2013 I assume this means you have tried contacting the original issuer? Meaning the label or publisher? Where did you find the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Voxivox Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm curious how the issues of compulsory cover license, parody/fair use, and synchronization rights apply to the case of GoldieBlox and the Beastie Boys? Here's a link to a summary of the story and the video: (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/12/goldieblox_lawsuit_the_beastie_boys_should_lose_their_suit_against_the_toy.html) Would Goldie Blox simply have had to file for the Compulsory Cover License with HFA in order to be clearly in the right? Or does the problem arise from the use of the parody in a commercial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted February 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2014 your link failed...but, absent any specifics, I would guess they should have paid for the license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
