MAKING A SOUND RECORDING OF AN ARRANGEMENT FROM studioDH
If a group or individual makes a sound recording of a studioDH arrangement, whether for a CD, an uploaded file on the internet, a digital download (ex: via iTunes, Amazon.com, Facebook, Spotify, Instagram, YouTube, etc.), whether for sale or not for sale, including learning tracks, then said group must request a compulsory license (mechanical or synchronization) for reproducing the sound recording (audio and/or video). A Digital Phonorecords Delivery (DPD) is also known as a Digital Download. If you wish to distribute a Digital Download from from example iTunes and/or Amazon.com, whether for sale or not for sale, you are required to pay a mechanical licensing fee. If you wish to reproduce and/or distribute learning tracks (CD or digital downloads), whether for sale or not for sale, you are required to pay a mechanical licensing fee. If you reproduce a video with sound recording, you are required to pay a synchronization license. Licenses are paid to the copyright holders or organizations who represent licensing for the copyright holders.
