a. you get into problems if you change words of a song but what if you change the tempo and the key its in..does that bring about the same probs
b.DRUMS SOUNDS CANNOT BE COPYRIGHTED?!......(what about "we will rock you"drumsound...i think thats rather destinct......
well thats my ask coztradamus question of today
A:NO
B:NO Only if you sample it...nobody can copyright footstomps and handclaps. :)
So if i were to, say, chop of the opening drums from "when the levee breaks" into separate parts: the kick, the snare, the hi hat ... and then sequence a new beat out of those pieces..... that would be ok?
on another note, what about back in 91 when pm dawn used a loop from "cindy c" .... a song that techincally wasn't released until three years later? could prince have had a leg to stand on if he wanted to make a fuss?
I doubt that anyone would come after you because it would be extremely difficult to prove, depending on how you use it, but techically you have still violated sync and sound rights.Quote:

Remember, Syxx's question about "We Will Rock You" was about copyrighting drums...which you can't do...however, any recording contains inherrent sync rights and sound rights.
Therefore, yes, Prince has a damm good leg to stand on. ;)
:bigthumb: thanks coz you rock :bowdown:
THE MIGHTY COZTRADAMUS AS SPOKEN.....ALL KNEEL BEFORE YE :cool:
Right on, I understand all that, but I mean in 1991 ...... Since prince had not released that song to the public yet.... could he have made a fuss about be using a loop from an unreleased track of his?Quote:

I understood your question Samedeep, the answer is YES! The operative word in your question is "His". ;)
