It's pretty easy and affordable if you're selling physical CDs or records & don't know how it works for the web & probably more compicated.</p> <p>The other license is for use of an actual recording, and this needs to be specifically negotiated with the owner of the copyright in question & which is usually the record company. This involves lawyers, contracts, yada yada. I was never able to get Sony to even call me back on the sample we were using, so we just paid the mechanical and put the record out anyway.</p> <p>Note of interest & even if you recorded yourself singing 'Should I stay or should I go' (which I'd like to hear :) ) & you would still technically have to pay the mechanical for it.</p> We tried to license a sample used on a record released on my old label 2Top.
