Re: cording and selling DVDs of dance recital - music rights

Mark,
Well, your way out certainly works 100% at all time. However, for those who still need to do the "dirty job", well, I personally don't think the copyright laws is fair. If those "artists" really care about their copyright, they need to find a way for "average joe" to be able to comply. An average joe is not going to come up with a process that is acceptable the artists. I think I came across more and more music rights company that offer pretty reasonable price for some music, but again, in an actual life event, that is virtually impossible. Let me ask you, in a life event, do you think clients would like a clean-cut music copy on the DVD or a life-environment background music? May I say, there is value in the noise, sometimes. My $.02.
