[QUOTE="Barrie Jay, post: 794961, member: 1163"] If it was performed by the same people then they would own both performance rights - and, of course, the songwriting (publishing) rights remain the same no matter what the arrangement. It can be better explained if someone does a cover version. Whoever did the original owns the performance rights for that. Whoever did the cover version owns the performance rights for thier version. The songwriting rights would be the same. The performance rights and the songwriting rights could be licensed or sold on or even given to an agent. The original owners have the right to do that. For example = Northern Records (who owned the Beatles early catalogue) was bought by Michael Jackson - so he owns the songwriting rights - so none of the Beatles get any money for the publishing rights, it all goes to him. Within the UK we have two societies that protect the interests of both. The MCPS (Mechanical and Copyright Protection Society) look after the songwririting rights. The PRS (Performing Rights Society) look after public peformance rights. For example any venue playing music in public (such as a shop or nightclub) has to have a valid PRS license. The money recouped is given to the members of the PRS - a portion of which goes to the MCPS. All radio (including the BBC) have to pay for each tune they play - as this is logged the money is passed to the PRS and MCPS to whoever owns the copyright and songwriting rights. Interesting snippet - the publishing rights to the song `Happy Birthday To You` last changed hands for over $25 million. Everytime that song is used in the world in a film or on Radio or TV the owners get their publishing fee. [/QUOTE]
