QuoteRezner What were you thinking you do not need the money pull the fucking plug!Why would you think Rezner had anything to do with it? You don't need permission to cover someone's work as long as you're not altering the lyrics or arrangement.

You don't need permission to cover someone's work as long as you're not altering the lyrics or arrangement.I thought that to commercially release a song which is someone else itellectual property in this case the lyrics. They need the permission of the owner of the song. In this case Rezner. Is this not the case?
Good lord. Sounds horribly over-produced/processed to me. It's a shame because Lewis can actually sing - but even given that... why? It's worthless compared to Johnny Cash's heart-rending version so why even bother?
No you just need to obtain a 'Mechanical License' for whatever country you intend to release it in; from MCPS in the UK, and Harry Fox in the US. If you can be bothered registering on the Fox site you can see online how much it would cost you to release your own version of Hurt based on the amount of copies you release.
Leona Lewis "edgy"? My sides.
Cheers for that good knowledge!So how does this work with Glee getting stopped from using foo fighter songs?
