Vynl, plastic, digital, or live for a paid performance. What is the difference?
Why isn't it illegal for a live band to use copyright music for a paid performance??? For the life of me, i can't see the difference. The general census a few post ago that a musican making tracks on a home recorder, transferring them to a computer file such as Hoster and be used as backup as he plays a guitar was illegal. I use karaoke tracks for backup for a one man show and i have been led to believe it is illegal to copy tracks and use them on a paid performance. Now i'm aware that a club is responsible for fees to allow copyrighted music to be played in their club, if this covers the "live band", why doesn't it cover the rest of us???
Seems these legalities are as inconclusive as politics in DC.
