Re: [videoblogging] mainstream music in videos

Actually, when you cover a song, if you make money, you're supposed to pay the writer something like 15 cents per song ... I don't know how that would tranlslate into videos ... (perhaps someone who knows something about ASCAP and all that, can correct me, and translate into what I'm trying to say) ... my wife and I did a CD a while ago with one cover song and that's what we heard at various folk festivals .... based on our sales, we were pretty safe in never sending money to the writer ... (now the music is under a CC license on the internet archive, by the way - not the cover song, but the ones we 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)

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?

Hi Guys,

I was hoping you could help me conclusively answer if it is legal to use
mainstream music in videos.

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?
