Title: Are covers and remixes subject to copyright infrigement claims?
Post by: Grandy on January 28, 2012, 03:28:10 AM: There was this amazing Top Gear cover on youtube that I sometimes listened to. Now it's gone. :/

However, there are most definitely trolls about.
Copyright claims aren't really thoroughly looked into on youtube, for some stupid reason.

Disagreed. It's to protect the original creator of it and for them to be sure who uses their work. Without these laws, you could easily get mixed up with who created what.

You can do it legally -- but it costs lots o monies because you are buying the rights to mess with the song. Marching Bands do it all the time to popular music as well as band music.

The pubic domain is a pretty hairy area.

If you stick to things that are over 200 years old it should be pretty safe. ;)

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on January 30, 2012, 02:54:52 AM: Its illegal without expressed consent from the creator if it is for profit. will.i.am had that shitty song From My Momma that originally had Daft Punk's Around the World.
