I would like to know..

I have a guy emailing me asking for me to remove vocals for him. His siter is getting married and he needs me to vogone a song for him. Is this legal for me to do this, and email him the file or us mail him a disk. He owns the cd for the origional as well as do I. (he says he ownes the origional I could never know)
Can I do it?

Red face it depends

That's a tough call to make. I would say NO, because unless the guy can provide proof (i.e. the physical CD or cassette) he may be lying to you and if you then make a Vogoned version of this song based just on his word, there could be legal implications. What you could do is ask him to send you the CD and then you could Vogone it from there. That I believe, would be legal.

MTU also has a legal issues section, which might be of some help also:

Hope this helps.


PS feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Lynda is correct. If you go on his word that he has the CD, and you don't know positively, then you could get in trouble... if anyone found out.

Best is for him to send you the CD, then your return both back to him.

Another thing to consider is do you want to become this person's source?

If you do it once, what about the future every time they turn to you for another need; key changes, etc?

If you're not willing to live with that, then the easiest time to say "no" is now.

They can buy Vogone and do it themselves, considering the expense as a part of their wedding gift. If it's not worth the money to them to do that, then it's not really that important to them, is it?

This is all assuming the person is a stranger to you who has emailed you. If it's someone you know, a sticky wicket, for sure.

One other thing - they'd need more than Vogone for the key changes. Vogone can only handle the vocal reduction/elimination end. Keyrite would work best for changing keys, although as with most music, the higher or lower you go, the worse the sound will be. (I work with key changing equipment as well as vocal reduction.)
