They pay a compulsory license to the copyright owner of the SONG. A percentage of the albums royalties, per minute of music. Something like 8c per minute. The band, or whover pays for the recording owns the recording.
If the song has never been commercially released they need a negotiated license. You can get in hot water without these.
If you wanted to put the recording in a film, you'd need permission from the recording owner AND the song copyright owner [/QUOTE]When they play the cover song in a bar?
