Topic: VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE/QUESTION concerning MYSPACE and YOUTUBE

DO I TRESPASS A LAW when I put a song, an OWN INTERPRETATION of an existing song? EXAMPLE: What is the procedure when I use myspace to play an own interpretation of a song "LIKE A ROLLING STONE"?
I just know that there are a lot of people playing a song written by others.
Do I have the right to post a song without consequences?

Re: VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE/QUESTION concerning MYSPACE and YOUTUBE

i think you've entered a mine field here, it does say original songs only on myspace, which basically means it's a disclaimer so myspace cant be taken to court for what you put up, if you understand me?
there are hundreds of songs eg whisky in the jar, by thin lizzie, that are credited original/arrangement by...! but i dont know if that would work while the copyright is still active, please dont do a george harrison [my sweet lord] and end up having to pay millions for what could be someone else's song. you might try yahoo answers... they get similar queries there.

hope this helps

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

I think friend PHILL, that this should be discussed, it might be a minefield. I also think that this is a TOPIC INTERESTING FOR EVERY "CHORDIAN".
You see so many players, singers, performing a COVER.
- TO SHOW HOW GOOD THEY ARE = see JIMI HENDRIX interpretations
- OR TO PLAY THEIR PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of an existing song.
I created an entirely new acoustic version, of I WILL SURVIVE (a reaction on my car crash in 2000, and the fact that I should have been dead already 4 times, because maybe 10% survives what I had, using the same chords and almost the same chords. It's very difficult to hear the original song BUT????.....
