FAQs Related To Performances & Copyright Topics

Question: Do I need a license to sample a track?

Answer:"Yes, you must obtain a clearance, or copyright license, for every sample that you use in your recordings. You can get a license from the copyright owner directly and negotiate a fee. Also, because both the composition and the sound recording are used in a sample track, you must obtain two clearances: one from the owner of the copyright in the song, and one from the owner of the rights to the sound recording. Sometimes this may not be the same person or company."

Answer:No. For copyright purposes each serial issue is considered a separate work. You must deposit two copies of each issue within 3 months after the date of publication.
