Hope this clarifies it a bit.

You own the license to use BB/RB tracks in your original compositions without any further compensation or credits. End of story.

If you are selling backing tracks to original songs...same deal. As in when you use BB to provide music for someone's song in your studio. Proper "Work for Hire" agreement should be drawn up and signed so that the artist can use the song and sell it freely. You get a lump sum payment for that. I have done this a number of times.

If you are providing cover tune backing tracks and selling them on the net, YOU need to get the proper license to sell them legally. A license would cover a certain number of sales. Keep good records of all sales. You essentially have a business so the licensing costs are part of the cost of being in business. Each track requires a unique licensing agreement. Lots of tracks will become expensive. You pay for each one.

If you are providing a one time custom track of a cover tune, it is the artist who is using the track on a commercially sold CD that would obtain the license. Draw up a "Work for Hire" agreement that spells out who is responsible for the licensing and how much you will get paid for a lump sum and that you have no further financial interest in the song. . I have used this method on a few tunes custom made for artists. This is essentially the same thing as if the artist came in your studio and recorded the cover tune. The studio is not responsible to pay the licensing costs..... the artist is when they release it commercially.

Hope that helps
