Ask the Attorneys: Copyright in Music — Seeing Double
Any time you listen to a track on a CD or an MP3, or listen to a song broadcast on the radio or the internet, or hear that same song as part of a film or television program, you are seeing the exploitation of two separate sets of copyrights. When making or exploiting recorded music, remember that you are not dealing with a single set of copyrights, but with two. Seeing double will help keep you from a potentially disastrous copyright infringement problem.
