excerpts:
"Substantial similarity is a question of whether or not the average listener can tell that one song has been copied from the other. This is the “ordinary observer test,” what Fakler calls “the hallmark of copyright infringement.” The more elements two works have in common, the more likely they are to be ruled substantially similar. Proving substantial similarity in music cases is complicated by the fact that all songs carry two kinds of copyright, for composition and sound recording, that have to be evaluated independently."

"Scènes à faire. If a musical element is very common, like certain chord progressions in blues music, for instance, it falls under what’s called scènes à faire, French for “scenes that must be done,” and can be used without a license. In many cases, the defendant’s lawyers will try to prove that the plaintiff’s work is commonplace and/or didn’t originate with the plaintiff, and that restricting its use would be harmful to the artistic community. This is what Thicke was trying to prove with his witness-stand medley. In the words of his attorney: “No one owns a genre or a groove.”"

Jan are we allowed multiple submissions per song per month?

My experience with Morley is similar to yours. They just sound thin. Not sure of your price range, but the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe is simply wonderful.

Like Puff the Magic Dragon?

I like what you did there. Did you lay all those tracks down manually or how'd you do that?

I think you got the wife on board for CStock.  She likes you guys.

Boyd Tinsley. All the players are monsters. Drummer is Carter Beauford, one of the best to ever hold sticks in my opinion.

I love phone recordings.  No way to BS them. 

That's a good raw sound bro! Don't over produce it, sounds great.

Ukerator.

or Yookerator.

Ok so Topdown aka Jeff is going to be in Vegas this weekend and we have decided to record June's song. Do y'all want me to embargo it until June 1 or can we fudge a bit?
