savagegrace26 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (Jean Simmons @ Nov 24 2010, 04:34 AM) QUOTE (Ranger J @ Nov 24 2010, 12:58 AM) That is absolute filth. What the f*** is wrong with pop stars today - out to make a quick buck regardless of who's song they obliterate in the process. Spineless bastards! Did you say the same when Rush released Feedback And never did any cover verions in their early days either did they? Once a song is in the public domain, then it's fair game. Time Stand Still isn't in the 'public domain'. The artist has to get permission from the original artist/record company to release a new version. So blame Rush for letting this happen.

Rushchick10 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (liddybuck01 @ Nov 24 2010, 01:33 AM) i do like nelly. her voice is unique. i just don't like covers. that's why i've never tried feedback... While I don't think that ALL cover songs are bad, I too could not bring myself to buy Feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE But then I discovered an interesting legal fact: Once a song has been commercially released by an artist, that artist's song may be re-recorded and released by anyone who chooses to do so. Provided that they pay proper fees/royalties directly to the song's copyright holder. Think I'm off to do me a batch of Rush covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
