Easy Song

Are you planning on using a recording someone else made?

It is important to note that when using someone else’s sound recording, there are two separate copyrights involved. These are commonly referred to as the “two sides of permission” needed.

The “Publishing” Side - This is permission for the song itself (musical composition). It covers the written music, including the melody, lyrics, and harmony. The rights for this are typically owned by the songwriter(s) or their publisher.

The “Master” Side - This is permission for the recorded version (sound recording) you’re using. It covers the specific audio recording of the song, like the one you hear on a CD or streaming service. The rights for this are typically owned by the recording artist or their record label.

We can help you clear both sides of permission with our Custom Licensing Service: https://www.easysong.com/services/licensing/get-permission/custom/
