“The User Showcase is an area where users of PG Music products (e.g. Band-in-a-Box or RealBand) can post links to their original song compositions, for others to listen to.

The songs must be originals, no copyrighted or "cover" songs. You must have all of the rights to the songs.”


I can only offer the opinion of a fellow forum member so here it goes:

As stated above and copied from this forum header you must own all rights to the songs. Licensing a song does not give you all rights to it. Now If you have purchased all rights then you own it and it would not be a cover song. Licensing a song and receiving performance royalties and, for example, having it on your album does not mean you own it - the writers are still being paid along with your performance payments. The poster should have either written/co-written the song or have created a version of a public domain song/poem that does not infringe upon any copyrighted versions (in this case you own all the rights once you create a recording). Now that’s my interpretation of the guidelines and the way we have followed them for years. Others members perspectives may vary. smile

Cheers
