What does that mean? He has a license to copy songs? Educate me here please, as I know nothing about that. I never knew such a thing existed.


See Herb's post. Harry Fox agency sells all kinds of licenses for specific use of somebody else's protected property.

One license lets you put your version of their song on your CD (which is how so many famous people have covered the same songs through the years)

another license lets you use their sheet music

another license lets you put their song in a movie

another license lets you use their song(s) in a public performance

another license lets you use their song (or your version of it) online

etc etc etc. I probably have the details wrong, but that's the gist of it.
Cost of the license varies according to how many people are likely to see/hear your use of it.

All of these license are for one specific use, Just because you pay for one license doesn't mean you can use the music in one of the other ways.
