What a dumpster fire this issue is.

Gotta love the law. Use 1 second, get sued for two kinds of royalties. But, redo an entire song, good to go!

I feel there's a good number of sections missing:<br>1. Translations. Japanese music especially has a lot of people covering the music in english and getting sued left and right by japanese companies due to the local copyright being extremely rough. <br>2. is dsps charging for mechanical licenses i.e. distrokid and soundrop still required?<br>3. since distrokid gets licenses from HFA, could you get it directly and not from distrokid? What's the logistics of that? And if you don't need it or can get it from other places with less friction in UX. What does that look like?

I'm a new DJ and I'm so glad I found this channel. Admittedly though, I'm scared to death to try and make music. Time to delve through the archives before I post anything. Thanks!

Nirvana’s first song Love Buzz was a cover song which kinda brings me hope 😅
