Griffinator Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I still have mixed feelings about this ruling. There are cases where it might be appropriate, and those that are not. The problem is that once precedence is set, instances where it probably would NOT be appropriate to pay royalties (i.e., a drummer doing a generic 4/4 beat) will become harder to defend. Is the standard of "work for hire" regarding session playing no longer in use ? Quite the contrary. It's in use regarding the acts themselves these days. A way for the label to steal all the rights from the artist. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 IMO, this ruling will not lead to getting royalties for generic parts. Labels, producers, artists, etc., do not pass out credits lightly.
