There but for the grace of god go we all.... or many of us.
Only today I contacted a well known singer/songwriter to ask his permission to soundcloud one of his songs. In this case he was more than happy that I am out and about singing it.
What a minefiled it is when you are singing someone's song and someone else then puts it on youtube. Is this not some kind of infringement too but how many do it regularly?
My general motto is that if I do not have the song-writers permission then I will not record it. If others record me doing it then I am not responsible if I miss them doing it. I do usually always ask the singer if I can record if I am out anywhere but also give them assurance that I will not then pass it on to others. It's a strategy that seems to work and shows respect.
Perhaps the chap above really has made a genuine mistake. I guess time will tell.
