MAKING A SOUND RECORDING OF AN ARRANGEMENT

If a group or individual makes a sound recording of a David Harrington arrangement, whether for a physical (ex: CD) or digital (ex: mp3) phonorecord,  whether for sale or not for sale, then said group must pay a compulsory license to the copyright holder of the arrangement for duplicating & distributing the sound recording.

CURRENT MECHANICAL LICENSING RATE

The current mechanical (audio) licensing rate for use of nondramatic musical works in the making and distributing of physical and digital phonorecords is 12 cents per track or 2.31 cents/minute whichever is larger. This rate was updated in 2023 and is the current rate until the next time congress updates the rate. [§ 385.11 Royalty rates. (a) Physical phonorecords and Permanent Downloads —(1) 2023 rate. For the year 2023, for every physical phonorecord and Permanent Download the Licensee makes and distributes or authorizes to be made and distributed, the royalty rate payable for each work embodied in the phonorecord or Permanent Download shall be either 12.0 cents or 2.31 cents per minute of playing time or fraction thereof, whichever amount is larger.]

NOTE: If your recording is going to be distributed as a Digital Download via iTunes and/or Amazon.com, those companies will handle the distribution of the mechanical licensing fee when you provide the arrangement copyright information.

FINDING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER

Look at the bottom of page one on the sheet music to find the copyright holder of the arrangement.

NOTE: Songs published in 1928 or earlier are currently in the public domain and therefore arrangements of those songs are now owned by the arranger. Since the arranger is the copyright owner of that arrangement, licensing fees are to be paid directly to the arranger.
