Is there a way to find copyright free acapellas on this site or even on another site?
Looking for MC acapellas, which probably is impossible but I thought I would give it a try.
Anyone has any recommendations?
Thanks in advance |

Although technically illegal, in general record companies are pro-mixtape as it is promotion for their artists. Mashups are too. Interest bubbles up from the street and mixtapes and refixes create interest and heat for the artist. Even big stores like HMV have a mixtape section, and u can bet that the tracks on these aren't legally cleared.
People are sharing music more than ever before, and rather than fight it record companies (the smart ones) are beginning to come to terms with it. Sites like industrysoundbank and digiwaxx are there for mixtape and club deejays to spread the word.
nobody's earning millions from mixtapes, and I don't know any mixtape deejay who's ever been approached for infrinement (does anyone know of that happening?)
Of course, if you do a mashup and get a number 1 with it then that's a different story...  |

I'm a UK based lawyer and whilst I don't know whether the situation is the same in countries other than the UK I know for a fact that in the UK the copyrights are dictated by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1987 which makes it an infringement of the copyright any time you make an unlicenced copy of someone's recording. The recording will be owned by a record publisher and they will be able to successfully sue you if you begin to make enough money out of it that it is worth their while to do so. Granting of any previous licences is irrelevant and the best way to sort the problem out is to go to the label or artist first and simply ask them if they mind. You may have to negotiate but if you tell them that you're small time a lot of the time they'll just say that they don't care.
Also there exists separate copyright in the performance by the artist and in the lyrics which the artist is entitled to enforce should you reproduce them.
If you want to get music released and sell more than 500 copies my advice would be to get agreement first. Most record labels have their own sample clearing departments you can contact.
Beware the lesson learnt from Jason Nevins' Run DMC cover which I heard he made no money out of whatsoever despite it being a number 1 single. Don't know how true that is but it sounds perfectly feasable to me. |

This issue is making me nervous. I am
attempting my first remix and did actually
contact the record label, still waiting for
a reply. Here's the thing...I'm not looking
to make a profit. I am planning to sell
copies, but the proceeds will be used to
benefit a young, local girl who's just been
diagnosed with cancer. She has to quit
college, move back home, has no insurance and will likely apply for med.
assistance. That's if treatment is successful and she survives. You would
think a label or artists would be interested in supporting my cause, but I
guess I shouldn't hold my breath.
What does anyone think I should do?
Even if I don't get permission, should I
just plow anyway?
Thanks in advance.

Go ahead and do it. Just notify them that you intend to use the 'recording' to raise money for a worthy cause (give them more than enough detail about the cause) and it will at least be on file to say you told them. It will be bad publicity for the 'holder' not to allow it for your reason. |

Thank you so much for the input. I'm
on it. I'll post a test pressing when done.
Peace.

Read this (posted less than 24 hours ago) from here of which you would've seen if you searched.

On second thought, after visiting sites like
ASCAP, I've decided to pursue the sampling license. May be a while before
I post a test pressing for my remix!
Thanks anyway, aniSina. I do appreciate
your input.

Sounds easy enough to "just do it,"
but in my situation where my work is
being sponsored by a school district,
I can't take any chances. Which leads me
to my next question...If I want to make a
remix using an acapella from this site,
am I using a "master?" If these pellas
aren't considered master recordings, then
I shouldn't have to obtain master rights
use, right? This is my last question on the
subject. I'm droppin' it like a smokin' spud.
Thanks,
