This is not a grey-area, but a hard and fast rule:
- If you are sampling another artist’s material (regardless of how small that sample), you must obtain the proper license – period!

The Cost of Business Many service companies (e.g. plumbing, air conditioning) compete in very competitive markets. These companies focus on maximizing revenues while controlling costs. However, the nature scheduling work orders is chaotic and presents hurdles for companies when controlling costs.Call centers schedule work orders as they come in. These work orders are not in a specific order or a specific location. Organizing these schedules becomes overwhelming and requires knowledge of the areas being scheduled.Costs are associated with this responsibility
But WAIT, there are potential land-mines around the corner if you’re not careful. Have you covered someone else’s song? Do you have samples of another artist’s music on your CD? What about copyright issues - both on your material, and anyone else’s? Unless you pay careful attention to the finer details, you could get burned – legally or otherwise… Ouch!
The following tips, recommendations, considerations and answers to common questions that will help prevent you from falling into any land-mines or legal licensing pot holes and enable you to move forward on a successful CD replication project:
Covering Someone Else’s Song:
While many artists think it’s OK to cover someone else’s original performance without the necessary mechanical license - especially if there are no samples of that performance on their disc - you are in a legal grey-area and run the risk of having problems later on. It is therefore recommended that you obtain the mechanical license to comply with copyright laws and to properly pay royalties to the original songwriter.
Tips and Recommendations:
- Contact the Harry Fox Agency in New York. Here you can obtain the license and prepay royalty fees. If you are replicating less than 2500 CD units, you can complete your application online by visiting the Song File website.
- Perhaps a better choice, though more time consuming is to contact the copyright holder directly and negotiate a royalty rate. This could be a much better choice for you if your CD sells well. In order to find out who owns the song’s copyright you will have to contact American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers (ASCAP)
Sampling Other Artist’s Songs:

All of those negative messages you hear about bad credit and mortgages! I’m talking here about how it is commonly believed that if you have bad credit it’s virtually impossible to get a home loan, and if you do happen to get a home loan, then the interest rate will be so high it will be a feat in itself just meeting the repayments. In Australia, every Tom, Dick and Harry will tell you that bad credit is bad news when it comes to your prospects for a home loan, however, there is has been a breakthrough in the bad credit mortgage industry. To date, nobody has been brave enough to reveal it – u

You may have heard about how business coaches can come in and meet with the management of a business and lead it success, and perhaps you even considered hiring a business coach yourself. But all the trekking back and forth to seminars and classes made it unfeasible or impossible, so you put it off, and time passed. Thankfully, we live in a digitized and connected world, so now you can sign up for online business coaching and attend classes, meet with your mentor, and improve your business from wherever you connect to the Internet.Online business coaching works similar to the way that no

Leads groups can be just as powerful as a Power Team if you are able to work them properly. I try to scout out as many lead groups as I can and before making any commitment, I like to gather the cards of each member and set an introductory appointment. I explore what they do and who their best customer is. I also let them know what I do and what I think is my best customer. The final part of the meeting is spent exploring our current database of clients to see if there is a fit. Unlike a Power Team, the leads generated are simply that, leads. We do not collaborate on the projects. On the othe

In any rapidly emerging market sector, there are companies that proceed with bold plans but fail to achieve their targets. Then there are those that calmly build lucrative businesses. As far as RFID (radio frequency identification) is concerned, many companies are re-evaluating their policies after disappointment, while others are succeeding.The internet is the best source of searching for RFID companies. Some examples are Baxtek Solutions, Datex Corporation, Kornyk Computer Solutions International, Inc., The L D S Corporation, and Miles Technologies, Inc. Productivity of RFID operations

Tips and Recommendations:
- This license is called a Master Use License. You cannot replicate copies of your CD without this licensing paperwork. Any replicator or CD replication company who makes you copies is potentially liable without this license - and will be very firm on this point and will not proceed with your order until you can produce it.
- Again, you can find out who owns the rights to songs by contacting ASCAP. There are no exceptions to this rule, so be prepared ahead of time and don’t get your project rejected by your CD replication partner.
Q: What is a IP Replication Rights Form?
A: Most reputable CD replication companies have joined the Anti-Piracy Compliance Program run by the International Recording Media Association (IRMA). The IRMA protects copyright holders (owners) from unauthorized duplication of their materials (intellectual property). The IRMA also goes after pirates and replicators who duplicate unauthorized product. What this means to you is that if you try to duplicate discs with someone else’s content, without the support rights paperwork you could loose your masters and money as your CD replication company gets closed down by the IRMA.
- Obviously this would be an extreme example, but the threat remains and no reputable replication company would take the risk. They would simply reject your masters and refuse to duplicate - and many change a cancellation fee. It’s your responsibility to gather the required licenses/releases ahead of time.
Q: How do I copyright my own materials?
A: You would get in touch with the US Library of Congress (www.copyright.gov) to request the forms needed to copyright your music.
- Once complete, send them the form, a copy of your recorded materials (on CD), a lyric sheet and the registration fee. Within a few weeks you would receive confirmation that your material was copyrighted.
- Once copyrighted you should seek a licensing agency who can track all radio plays of your songs and pay you for any royalties due.
In Conclusion:
Cutting your master disc is only the beginning on your road to a successful CD release. Before anything else, you need to make sure you have the licensing paperwork in place. If you send a master to a CD repli
