Sound Recording Copyright

[svoxprs]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

If a copyright of a song (sound recording and music) is held by 4 separate people do all have to give permission for the use of the sound recording in a video? Also, if you were filmed in a video does the owner of the video have to request your permission to post the video on youtube? Thanks for any information pertaining to this matter.

Did you read the reply given to the questions asked in your earlier thread? The questions were pretty much answered already, or at least answered as much as they could be given the facts as you presented them. More information is needed.

If all four helped to create the sound recording, absent any agreement to the contrary, all four would have equal rights in the copyrighted work. Any one of the four could license the work without permission from the other three, but the one licensing the work would have to share with the other three copyright owners any profits realized from the use of the work.

If the video, likewise, was a collaborative work, the rights are shared equally.

Did you have any signed agreement with the other three, designating who owned what percentage of what? Is there a registered copyright on the work? If so, are all names included as authors of the work?
