harvey,
thanks for tackling this important subject for us.
what about parodies? my son sounds like john fogarty of ccr fame and has done a lot of 'twisted tune' parodies with seattle dj, bob rivers. what is required before one can do a parody? several on this forum are interested.
what about 'covers'? say, for example, i play a wedding reception and my playlist includes several copyrighted tunes. am i in violation to 'cover' them?
thanks,
don
