21st century love, by Strange Al on May 17, 2007 23:31:55 GMT 1, We're kind of getting off the point, but every recorded piece of music has 2 sets of rights:
1. (c) in the composition of the music and of the lyrics; and 2. (c) in the sound-recording.
It's true that if a band records a direct cover of a track, they don't have to approach the owner of the original copyright directly for permission. However, permission is required. If you don't approach the owner of the (c), you must obtain a mechanical license from the relevant collecting society. In the UK this is the MCPS-PRS. The MCPS has set rates and will collect the royalties on behalf of the (c) owner. Though, people often prefer approaching the artist directly, as it may well be possible to negotiate a better royalty rate in that way.
Interestingly, if the cover version in any way deviates from the original - e.g. the arrangement is changed or the composition is adapted - you can only seek permission from the owner of the (c).
Anyway as we both seem to agree in principle, enough on music (c) and back to the visual arts.
