PGM will you please clarify the following FAQ:

23. Are songs that I create with Band-in-a-Box or RealBand copyrighted?

PGM FAQ ANSWER
The arrangements made by Band-in-a-Box and RealBand are yours, and your songs may be used freely as long as they don't infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

== PLEASE CLARIFY ==

1. What does PGM include in the definition of "arrangements"?

2. Does this include the rendered sound recordings produced using BIAB of said arrangement?

3. Are rendered sound recordings produced using BIAB considered "3rd Party" of said arrangement in terms of PGM and/or artist copyright?

4. Are users of BIAB "required" to give attribution to the BIAB / RealBand / RealTrack / RealDrums artists -- including royalty points /split percentages? Or are these performances treated as pre-paid session players?

5. Are users of BIAB "prohibited" from giving attribution to the BIAB / RealBand / RealTrack / RealDrums artists? (Implies uunauthorized association of artist to new works which may or may not impact the brand image of said artist.)

6. Are users of BIAB "prohibited" from submitting any artifact produced using BIAB to PROs, CMOs, The MLC, Publishers, Copyright Registery agency, or any other related agencies where material submissions are required?
