She has licensed that thing already all over the place...TV, other musicians, advertising, etc...

He doesn't need permission from Loco Ono.

You guys are confusing arrangements with covers.

If someone else performed it and recorded it first and then you sing it, even if you change it around and "make it your own" it is still a cover. You are covering what someone else has done.

If you take a song and change keys and move bits around, maybe a new intro, different tempo or whatever, you are doing a different arrangement of a song, but it is still a cover.

The confusion may come from the term 'cover band' which usually means a band in a bar that plays familiar songs and tries to sound as much like the original as their synths and tape loops will allow.

Hard to argue with the opinion of Straight Dope...dated 1978.

Moron, the straight dope is misleading. It doesnt even break down what the license will cost, per CD.

If owning the rights to music wasnt so valuable, Paul, yoko, George and Ringo would not have tried to fight so hard with Michael Jackson to maintain those rights.

Do more research before you google a few terms here and there and pretend to know about music. or law. or pop culture.

Moron. He does not need permission to record Imagine and put it on a CD and sell it. Is he responsible for paying the copyright owner for his revenue? Yes. But that is with all songs, whether he got permission or not. Hence the advantage of being a songwriter. You get royalties.

You're out of your league here. Back down before you end up with your turtleneck and sweater vest up your arse.

Listen Toby Tyler, be careful what you wish for. You let me know when you are ready for your third public beatdown.

We have already gone down this path before, miguel.

You are talking to a Final Four Who's Now participant and you didnt even get out of the second round.

You were left over the barrel, crying, and humiliated, deleting threads faster than an Oliver North intern after the Iran Contra Hearings, pissed all over more graphically and publicly than Kim Kardashian on a blind date.

I built it and hundreds and hundreds came. They all experienced it. One of us cracked under the pressure, falling onto the ground like a little girl crying and choking on a hot dog, while the other one of us emerged victorious...a new force to be reckoned with in an already populated arena of gladiators.

I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart, although I do not want to eat your children. Praise be to Allah!

I'm in the top 10 all-time as "most influential" on Cougarboard.

I'm being modest actually. I would put myself in the top 3.

And no, I am not third or second.

I think you mean Most Ignored.

You tried to ignore me before. You even disabled "Who's Online" so that nobody else could see you reading my posts after you publicly claimed to ignore me. We all know how long you were able to pretend to not read my stuff.

Sweets....you couldnt ignore me if you tried.
