Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | You, know, if you make a parody commenting on another song, as I understand it, you don't need to pay licensing fees. For instance, a whole lot of love was a rip off of a muddy waters number (oh in turn muddy ripped it off from someone else, but we don't need to get into that) and they owed a whole lot ... but a song like Wally Pleasant's song small time drug dealer is not a rip-off of Fun Fun Fun
Fun Fun Drug Dealer
More mp3 (This guy\'s original tunes always make me smile)
Maybe this is the ticket. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | OK, CAN WE BRING THIS BACK ON TOPIC ???
I know I started this, but let's get back to the issue at hand - the 2nd OFC CD. I've had mails from quite a few people (OK, it was only 5) asking (err, complaining) about not being able to submit copywritten cover tunes. SO HERE IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. PAY ATTENTION Y'ALL ...
I would PREFER that you submit originals or public domain stuff, but you are more than welcome to submit cover tunes. I'LL handle the license stuff and I'LL pay the fees. We'll spread it all out over the price of the CD's. So, expect the CD's to cost a few bucks more than last year.
BUT ... if y'all submit TOO MANY cover tunes, the price of the CD is going to be too expensive to be viable. So I'm going to hafta walk a fine line to keep this thing reasonably priced. For this reason I would like to give preference to originals or pubdom stuff, but I also want the quality to be good. So we'll see.
OK ??? So, start recording and get me something to work with. LASTLY - the cut off for submissions is NOV. 1ST if we want to get this thing done and distributed in time for xmas season. I'll keep you posted on how it's going.
