Robitaille59 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I don't know if this is the right place for this but here it goes. I set up a music publishing company through BMI because I was in a documentary movie and played my acoustic guitar in part of the documentary. They said I had to play an original so I did and then they asked me if I was with Ascap or BMI and I joined BMI immediately there after and registered the song then notified the producer of my BMI status. The documentary will be broadcasted soon on cable TV and I expect to make some money from it. My question is that now I want to use some of my original music on an exercise DVD. This DVD will not be played over TV, Radio or in a movie. It will be sold via a website and I'm wondering does that count as a movie....I mean if my music is the background music in an exercise video isn't that the same as scoring a film?

Griffinator Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's still a video production, and it'll still be sold on the open market. You're still entitled to mechanicals. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
