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.
