Hey all,
I have a question regarding how copyright works when recording a CD you plan to later sell to the public. Works being recordered are works from 1950's onwards - contemporary clarinet stuff - donatoni/berio/boulez etc. Any info or points in the right direction to finding out about this would be great
Thanks,
Col

You'll need a mechanical license from the copyright holder. If the piece has been recorded before, you can get a compulsory license (that is, the holder of copyright is obligated to grant it to you) for a standard fee. You can also try to negotiate with the copyright holder directly, but I think this process is pretty well streamlined.

"Check out the mechanical licenses from the Harry Fox Agency at http://harryfox.com"
As far as I'm aware, HFA handles only the US. The original poster is from Australia, so I think HFA would be involved only in mechanicals in the US. However, they can probably point to the appropriate agency in Australia or wherever else the poster wants to sell the CD's.
cjshaitan - copyright law can vary widely from country to country, so make sure you check with someone who covers the territories where you intend to sell the CD. For example, material that is public domain in one country might not be public domain in another.
