- qayxc 5y agoPotentially, yes. There are different types of licences [0] and depending on your use of copyrighted material, it may require a license to publish it legally. [0] https://www.bmi.com/licensing/entry/types_of_copyrights https://www.bmi.com/licensing/entry/types_of_copyrights
- SeanLuke 5y agoYes. Because music is both composed and performed, it has three primary copyright scenarios. 1. Print rights protect sheet music etc. from being copied. 2. Performance rights control whether your composed music can be performed. 3. Mechanical rights control whether your performance can be copied (onto mp3 say). Also related to these are "synchronization" issues and licenses.
