Compulsory licenses are an exception to copyright law in regards to songs. They allow anyone to re-record a song without the permission of the music publisher, provided the person pays the statutory rate and the song has been recorded and released. Brabec points out that the license takes a monopoly away from the writer and publisher. This is beneficial because it demonstrates songs can go into a number of genres. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/compulsory+license#comment How do I record someone else's song?

Brabec explains that fair use is just like parody. Brabec shares that there are five elements in determining whether something is a parody, such as the requirement that the song must make fun of the original instead of using it in a different context. Brabec points out that fair use is a complicated area nonetheless. For instance, a novelist using several lines from a well-known novel is a difficult situation. However, there are some instances of fair use that are straightforward. A reviewer reviewing a composition can definitely comment on a particular aspect of the song. Also in this segment, Brabec covers the original purpose of fair use. Fair use was created to protect individuals and allow reviewers and not for profit situations to use copyrighted works. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/fair+use#comment Copyright Music Business What should educators know about the Fair Use provision?

Until 1948, ASCAP had an exclusive contract with their writers. Thus, ASCAP had to be the negotiating party for the writers in all circumstances. In 1948 a court decision ruled that was an antitrust violation. Brabec explains that, consequently, current contracts allow writers and publishers to bypass ASCAP or BMI and directly license to users. Also in this segment, Brabec covers the decision's effect on motion picture monies in the United States. Since the provision established in the decision, motion pictures do not pay money in the United States. He emphasizes that performance royalties for films are a major source of income in foreign territories. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/music+with+tv+and+movies#comment Market Chrysalis Music Group Jeffrey Brabec Songs in Films Television Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:06:03 -0700 admin 318 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/ringtone+royalties Ringtone RoyaltiesJEFFREY BRABEC is Vice President of Business Affairs for the Chrysalis Music Group (representing the catalogues of OutKast, Elvis Presley, Blondie, David Gray, Paul Anka, Billy Idol, Jethro Tull, The Propellerheads, A3 (The Sopranos theme) and David Lee Roth). http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/ringtone+royalties#comment Chrysalis Music Group Jeffrey Brabec New Media Publishing Royalties Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:06:03 -0700 admin 319 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/sampling+0 SamplingJEFFREY BRABEC is Vice President of Business Affairs for the Chrysalis Music Group (representing the catalogues of OutKast, Elvis Presley, Blondie, David Gray, Paul Anka, Billy Idol, Jethro Tull, The Propellerheads, A3 (The Sopranos theme) and David Lee Roth). http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/sampling+0#comment What is the story on Sampling?

The first is the writer deal. A writer agrees to deliver a certain number of songs. The second is the hip-hop and rock deal. Brabec points out that hip-hop and rock deals are structured the same. However, hip-hop and rock deals do have a significant distinction. Rock and roll has very little sampling, while hip-hop has a lot. Brabec explains that samples must be cleared prior to the payment of an advance. Also, hip-hop deals are more expensive. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/types+of+publishing+deals#comment Chrysalis Music Group Contracts Jeffrey Brabec Publishing Sampling Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:06:03 -0700 admin 321 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/video+game+licensing Video Game LicensingJeffrey Brabec, Vice President of Business Affairs for the Chrysalis Music Group, talks about video game licensing. It is an area that is extremely beneficial to music. Brabec explains that while video games do not generate royalties, they do produce a flat fee. However, this normally involves a song buyout. He points out that if the artist does not agree to a buyout, their song won't be put in the video game. Brabec claims that he's seen buyouts from zero to 30,000 dollars. Also in this segment, Brabec discusses the duration of video game licenses. Video games licenses are generally for seven to ten years. Brabec talks about why this might be a mistake in the long run. The video game might stay around or be turned into a movie. The importance of negotiating the best deal possible is covered as well. Brabec also talks about what makes a good publisher. A publisher is responsible for looking after the rights of the writers. Therefore, they must know where to draw the line to protect a song. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/video+game+licensing#comment Publishing Chrysalis Music Group Jeffrey Brabec Licensing Video Games Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:06:03 -0700 admin 322 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/work+for+hire Work for HireJeffrey Brabec, Vice President of Business Affairs for the Chrysalis Music Group, talks about work for hire. Work for hire occurs when a writer or composer writes a song for a film, television show, or commercial. However, the publishing company becomes the legal author of the work. Brabec points out that the songwriter or composer still receive writer royalties. There is a royalty schedule in all agreements. He also stresses that there are no reversions. Songwriters cannot take advantage of getting their song or score back. The future litigation of 2013 is covered as well. Brabec explains that the songwriting business will be the area of controversy. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/work+for+hire#comment Chrysalis Music Group Jeffrey Brabec Work For Hire Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:06:03 -0700 admin 323 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/aba+2008+forum+the+life+cycle+of+a+song+mechanical+royalties+and+problems+with+royalty+rates+today ABA 2008 Forum – The Life Cycle of a Song: Mechanical Royalties and Problems With Royalty Rates TodayIn this excerpt from a panel discussion held at a 2008 meeting of the American Bar Association’s Sports & Entertainment Law Forum, the panelists discuss mechanical royalties – the income generated from the manufacture of physical recordings of a song, for example on CD, LP or other physical media – and how recent decisions by the Copyright Royalty Board have thrown the current statutory rates, and what is covered under what rate, into serious doubt. They also discuss who benefits and who loses in the current web of conflicting copyright and royalty rate rules, and how other nations handle mechanical royalty payments on sound recordings created in the USA. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/aba+2008+forum+the+life+cycle+of+a+song+mechanical+royalties+and+problems+with+royalty+rates+today#comment Copyright Legal American Bar Association (ABA) Copyright Cynthia Sanchez Dina LaPolt Jeffrey Brabec Legal Royalties Todd Brabec Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:35:11 -0800 matt 51916 at
