 I paid all the appropriate fees when I recorded both of my CD's.  In fact,
the company I used for the CD pressing required that I provide them a copy
of the license before they would do the job.  I suggest you visit
www.harryfox.com for more details.  Also if you are going to use someone
else's music on a DVD of other video type media, the process for licensing
is different and may require you to go directly to the publishing company.

Hi fellow harpers

 

I have been doing some recording recently and hope to be releasing a long
overdue acoustic album soon. There are some classic blues on it such as KC
Moan, Sun is Shining, etc. Also a cover of 'Ride that Train' from Tom Ball
and Kenny Sultan, a Gary Primich number too. Tom Ball, perhaps you could
answer this??

 

'The other half' the guitar player is panicking about copyright issues and
thinks we need to pay to put these on an album. I know of countless blues
outfits that release self funded albums and as long as they acknowledge the
orginal source seem to get away with it. Can any of you advise me about this
as the guitarist who makes playing his living and declares his earnings is
worried about getting bitten on the ass later in life for us not going down
the correct copyright channels etc. 

 

 

We are only planning on selling these cds to get more work and at gigs, it
was self funded. 

 

 

cheers Tom C
