Joined: January 2005 Posts: 4903 Location: Phoenix AZ | Absolutely you can do covers. But YOU will have to pay the license fees. The fees are handled through the Harry Fox Agency. They have a database where you can see if the song you want to do is copywrite protected or not. Dave | ||

Joined: January 2005 Posts: 4903 Location: Phoenix AZ | It's about 9 cents per song, per CD. I would plan on closed to 100 CD's (last time we shipped soomething like 125). So roughly $10-$12. bucks if you want to do a copywritten cover. You can check if a song is public domain at www.pdinfo.com www.harryfox.com has a database of songs and copywrite owners. Dave | ||

Joined: March 2004 Posts: 629 Location: Houston, Texas | Originally posted by Tupperware: I took a quick look at the HFA site and the minimum number of units you can obtain a license for is 500, so figure $0.091 x 500 = $45.50 plus an $8-10 processing fee.

Do I need a license for less than 500 CDs or 150 DPDs? Yes, you still need to obtain a mechanical license if you wish to make fewer than 500 units of a physical product such as a CD, or fewer than 150 DPDs. HFA does not issue Songfile licenses for less than these amounts. You can obtain a license from HFA for the minimum number, which gives you permission to make up to that amount, or you can seek to obtain your licenses directly from the relevent publishers." | ||

Less than 500 copies, that's me (us), I'll try to contact the publishers about the songs I know. If it's easy I'll contribute, if not, well, no matter what I'll buy a copy of the christmas cd. Who knows it may be easy ... | ||
