I've heard a bunch of different answers on this topic , but have never seen anything in legal-ese to back it up... website, book, or otherwise. This realy is multiple questions in one I guess...
If you're in a cover band, and play others' songs out in a bar for money, you don't pay royalties, correct?
With the above, do you need to pay licensing fees to any organization(s) like with jukeboxes, or is that the bar's responsibility?
To record & sell another artist's work, you must pay royalties, but don't nessecarily have to obtain permission, correct?
Does any of this change if the song is a jingle for a commercial and owned/trademarked by a large company?
I'd really appreciate any real concrete answers with links for backup/further/research if anyone's able to provide them. Thanks in advnace for taking the time to read & hopefully help out!
