Unlike a straight audio recording where permission is not needed? Did this also apply to the DVD you released with the Mutts?

When your music accompanies picture, the rights and royalties are negotiated by the copyright holder/publisher and could be potentially denied altogether. To simply record a cover song, where no picture is involved, you are right. Now, cover versions of the copyrighted songs might be different, as Victor points out, but then we have the excruciating prospect of Taylor Swift mimicking Jonis voice, look and guitar playing. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #233 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
