- AznHisoka 8y agoThen why would someone pay money for the channel if they can’t make money off it? The social followers and steady traffic means nothing (unless we are talking about millions of visitors a month).
- Topgamer7 8y agoThere are other ways you can monetize things. Sell merch, shoutouts built into the video. Other things like that.
- AznHisoka 8y agoOK but has the OP done those things? If not he should start doing them, document the earnings and then he might have something to show potential buyers after a year. Right now, its all a question mark and either a risk, or time waster for potential buyers.
- honksillet 8y agoIsn't most classical music in public domain? (Asking sincerely.)
- dwringer 8y agoMuch of the music is, but the recordings of many specific performances are not - and specific performances are often what listeners are interested in.
- turc1656 8y agoI could be mistaken, but if the original recording is no longer copyrighted, how can someone copyright an individual performance? Doesn't that fall under the derivative works portion of copyright law? Thereby making it the automatic property of the property holder - which in this case would be the general public, no?
- outsidetheparty 8y ago> Every Song Has Two Copyrights: The Underlying Composition and The Sound Recording. The underlying composition is the music and lyrics as they would appear on a piece of sheet music. From this copyright, infinite amount of sound recording copyrights can be created. Every time a song is recorded, whether by a new artist, in a different key, with different instrumentation, or completely remastered, a new sound recording is created and the person or company who owns that recording owns its copyright. However, even if you own the new sound recording you do not own the copyright to the underlying composition, and in fact must get permission to distribute your work. https://tunelicensing.com/blog/post?page=licensing-101-public-domain https://tunelicensing.com/blog/post?page=licensing-101-publi...
- turc1656 8y agoThanks for this. I am shocked to learn that re-recordings of previously copyrighted work are not deemed derivative works and actually receive their own separate copyright even after the original has expired.
- FearNotDaniel 8y agoWhat exactly are you shocked by? Are you saying that you can perceive the work a composer does as creating something of value, but you can't see how the work done by an arranger or a performer adds value to that original composition work? In the pop world, where the majority of artists don't write their own songs, there is an incredible amount of additional creative input between the songwriters handing over their guide track and the producers/performers releasing the finished product. If the moral principle behind copyright is that ownership of any original creative work remains in the hands of its creators, then it makes sense that those arrangers and performers should retain the rights to their own contributions, separate from the work of composers and lyricists.
