First International Tribute to Buckethead

<< < (2/3) > >>

Travis:
Copyright law can be hard to understand. If your using someone else's recording of a song you absolutely must get the permission to use their music. However, your talking about doing covers of songs by other artists. In that case you have what's called the right to rerecord. You still must pay the songwriter for any music you sell but you don't have to ask permission to record it. If you Google " re-recording rights" there is a lot of information like this:

TTB:
That is, should I pay the author only if it be commercial tribute? If it be just internet-release for free downloading I don't must pay to the author, yes? We can safely continue to work on a tribute to buckethead, and when we'll got all covers we'll can upload tribute on fileshare without any consents?

Because people are playing covers to song which liked to they and upload it on YouTube and on other sites. They record non commercial product and they don't need any consents for uploading their cover. Similarly with our tribute to Buckethead. Am I right?

Sorry for the my questions, I just would like to better understand this. Thanks!

X:
That brings up another question too. In light of Bucketheadland 2, is there any word of a Buckethealand 3 in the near future? Bucketheadland 2 did get released a year late for a 10th year anniversary, perhaps unintentionally due to things like Guns N' Roses, but that could possibly be Buckethead's next big project.

I have an amazing soothsayer cover I did that's already mastered and ready to go. I can send you the mp3 via email if you want to add it to the album :).  I need to know what you are gonna do with the album first though. I don't want money (just album credit) for the song. If anyone else wants a copy of my cover pm me your email.
