RE: Recording other peoples music???? (in reply to Florian)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Florian so many questions its always very confusing with flamenco. No more so than with any other music. In cases of changing arrangements, etc its a question of degree. Classic example George Harrison with My Sweet Lord, which was just a tad to close to " He's so fine" where he was accused and found guilty of plagarising the melody. So melody appears to be an integral factor. As far as I know rythmns and falsetas are not copyrighted except within context of a specific song/recording. When an artists copyrights their material with SGAE in Spain they have to register the score/arrangment, ie publishing, and then the actual recording, ie mechanical rights. If you were to record and release an exact copy of another artist's arangement of a traditional tune you may find you are infringing a copyrighted arrangement. I think if you make a personal demo recording it is no-one's business, however the moment you sell or broadcast publicly, on youtube for example, maybe even on this forum, it would be copyright infringement. Somehow I doubt an artist would be concerned about a student copying, recording and uploading an audio of their playing onto this forum, however a publisher may not be so lenient. Artists dont always control their publishing. The best thing anyone wanting to recrd a cover version can do is talk with the specific publishers, and join and consult PRS or whatever relevent agency for your region. If you are actually clever enough to rearrange a track to avoid paying the original composer and potential litigation I would suggest your energies could be better spent composing something yourself Kate
