Re: [videoblogging] mainstream music in videos

[Markus Sandy]

ah, you are assuming "cover" implies "licensed and royalties paid" that is *not* common usage for most people out side of the music industry perhaps certainly, lots of local bands claim to do "cover" songs, but they haven't cleared it or paid for it check a dictionary - most don't mention the payment part Brad Webb wrote: Actually, no, you just have to pay royalties. Copyright specifically allows for cover usage and spells out it's royalty structure. Markus Sandy wrote: that's still a copyright violation (i.e., "happy birthday to you ...") Ronen wrote: If you 'cover' a song, then you can use the cover version -- which opens up a world of possibilites. (I'm noticing the rocketboom version seems a cover) On 11/21/05, *Ronen* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Andrew Barron (and the blue ball people) used Danny Elfman music in friday's rocketboom, to great effect. The real question, I think, is whether when doing such things it makes more sense to link to the source music (which I've been doing) or leave it unlinked, (presumably the hopes that then no one will notice). I seriousely don't know which is more effective. Any ideas/thoughts on the subject?

And if it depends on the artist/producers/company then how do we identify the companies that allow us to use their music in their videos?
