If you produce a track using samples from films or TV do you need to get permission from the copyright owners before you make it/ play it/ release it?
thank you both =] its something that ive been thinking about for a while, i assume it can sometimes be very expensive to get the permission to use samples in your tracks so i thought most producers wouldnt bother
I used a sample from an audio book lately and I'm in contact with the producers to clear it. As far as films go, apparently there's no chance.
well that blows =/ guess you've just gotta keep it on the d/l then...
cheers for the info anyways geez ive been curious for a while
this is a really interesting post ... and i think that if people use spoken words from films they just keep it on the D-low but there was a case a michael jackson dnb remix which was amazing .. and the label that signed the song just did it as unknown artist ...that could be one beautiful loop hole ?
mmm this is interesting, obviously its one thing producing the track and playing it for your friends but if you get signed to a record label and your track goes into production and is on sale to the general public... i assume if you didnt get copyright permission you could get in serious shit if the copyright owner became aware an wanted to kick up a stink?
Now that is an interesting point.. like that killer chop suey remix called "drop suey" was released as unknown artist
