Hello to everyone who is concerned about my covers that i have been and am doing. I am still going to use my band in a box to create cover songs. That said, im going to keep them limited to my youtube channel. I probably wont post the links here. If you follow me on youtube or soundcloud please bookmak my youtube channel, or soundcloud channel. I am going to keep it limited to these 2 sites due to the TOC on pg music. If you have been concerned about my creatiing cover songs don't be. From Youtube or soundcloud, if the or the publisher or creator of the song tell me to take it down i will. Otherwise the songs that I. Create or have created will stay up on these 2 sites. So unless i come up with original material i will post links to this site. I am going to create another youtube site for all of my original songs so no one here will be offended. I am making this move because of the TOC of this website and no other reason. But out of respect for you all since you disagree with making cover songs if you see a link here it will be for originals only. Thanks for all your input.
Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Section 107 of the Copyright Act is the section that provides for fair use, a doctrine which allows certain actions which otherwise would amount to copyright infringement. ... Therefore, parodies use copyrighted works for purposes that fair use was designed to protect.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I'm no expert either, but I don't think synch licenses are "compulsory". Hence why HFA doesn't deal with them.
Joanne, it's also my understanding that in some of these situations, the title of the song is amended before adding it to catalogues. That, and the fact that synch licenses can be much more lucrative for established songs, may be reason you didn't recognize any titles among 2,000,000 in a clearing house.

Hey there herb, I think that we have been having a very informative conversation. I am not meaning to think that I know more than everybody else, well, at least I sure hope that I am not coming off that way. A lot of people like you that have been involved in the music a lot longer than me are very informative on copyright and things like that. I do have the book that you are talking about, but sometimes I have a very short attention span so I don't sit down and read many books, but I am going to see if I can't get an audio version of this book "THIS BUSINESS OF MUSIC" do you have any sources were I can get a copy of this book in Audio? I am more of an audio learner than a book learner. But hopefully I am not coming off as trying to know more than other people, because I will be the first to admit that I don't. But, I am listening to your song called "Just Another Rainy Day" Good song. Is that all BIAB or is it you playing some of the instrument's? In fact you do a great job. Sounds like you have a lot of "Neil Young Influence" Sounds good though, good haunting and relaxing music. Here is a link to an original song that I and a friend recorded. None of this was "BIAB" Let me know what you think! The reason that I ask you if all these instrument's are BIAB because I bought a CD from eddie1261 and his instruments sounded just as good. Here is a link to some of my original music if you are interested. I also included some of my other songs. I have a lot more on YouTube, but it was more fun writing and recording my own songs than covers, that is for sure; and I know what all these people are talking about when it comes to copyright because I have over 600 copyright's but I only know the side pretty much on my own writing's. I registered everyone of them through doing the form, paying for it and sending it in. So, I do know some stuff about copyright's, but I would not mind if anyone ever created a cover to one of my song's and I guess that's what puts me so far left on the subject of cover song's, because I think that music should be free for anyone that wants to listen to it and record it should be able to do that without the fear of getting sued. Father of Love (Written About The Passion of Christ Movie) Here is another one called (Pallet of the Lord) Written from a sight that I saw on a rainy springful day, and a sermon) This is a BIAB Song that I Created for my mom and Grandmother. I Know you sing with the angles. This is dedicated to my mother who passed away from a brain tumor This is my song called "At The Foot Of The Cross" Taken from a dream that my brother had. This is my song called Pictures of The Past Written about the movie called (A River Runs Through It) This is my song called "You'll Be Crying For My Love At Night "All BIAB"
