A Copywrite Paradox - Prog - 05-30-2008
So, who has the right to claim copyright protection?

I have to side with the Purple One they have no control over his performance.

Could Radiohead be dicks and say Prince had no right to play their song if he does any sort of commercial release?

I would say yes, but it sounds like all he did was perform one of their songs and it was recorded by attendees and put on YouTube.

I am pretty sure that after 7 years anyone can cover the song without permission of the artist. The artist does get royalties. But you can not pick and choose who covers your work.

I would think it wouldn't even have a time frame. I've never heard of an instance where a band got mad at another band for covering a song.
I think the interesting thing with this story is Prince and Radiohead are on opposite sides when it comes to protecting their work.

The time limit goes back to the 50's/40's when one act (usually a black act) would release a good song on a small label, then a bigger record company would "cover" the song with a bigger artist and better distribution within days/weeks of the release. This would totally block the original from the airwaves and kill its sales. So you can perform it at any time you just canââ¬â¢t record it.
These record guy have always been dirty fucks.
