Why Do I Need A License?
A license is granted by a publisher to give permission to an individual or entity to record, reproduce or distribute a song that the publisher owns.
The U.S. COPYRIGHT ACT Grants the following Exclusive Rights to the Copyright Authors or Owners:
* Right to Reproduce
* Right to Make Derivative Works
* Right to Distribute
* Right to Publicly Perform
* Right to Publicly Display
* Right to publicly perform by digital transmission (sound recording)
Every Recorded Song Contains Two Copyrights
1) MUSICAL COMPOSITION: The notes and lyrics of the song. 2) SOUND RECORDING: The Recording Artist's recorded version of the song. Even if the recording artist is the songwriter, two copyrights are created one for the sound recording and one for the musical composition.
