I do have a little question: May I play my own music on my own website without paying to Buma/Stemra or anyone else? Thanks! Sprinkle Dubb
The best way to find this out is to contact their lawyers. [editline]wad[/editline] [QUOTE=Sprinkle Dubb;32810588]Hmm, jup. But you are from the Netherlands, right? I'm too. Do you know what the rules are in our country?[/QUOTE] Nope, sorry.

If you want to put another artist's song on your website, you'll have to pay them for a license.
But if im the artist?
but since a copyright is there to protect the creator of the music, why would there be any repercussion from you putting your own music on your own site? what are they going to do? sue you for violating a copyright you have rights to?

really? thats absurd
Who would sue who if I post my music? Makes no sense this copyright law.
[QUOTE=AK'z;32813165]Who would sue who if I post my music? Makes no sense this copyright law.[/QUOTE] Sometimes the record label or some other company owns the rights to your music, so their lawyers would sue you if you made unauthorised use of it.

[QUOTE=AK'z;32813516]No they wouldn't.[/QUOTE] Perhaps not, but in theory they should.
there is too much content out there that there isn't any point to take anything to court when it concerns the internet UNLESS it's really serious like hacking or stalking.
The record companies are most likely the people who pay for the lawyers and actually handle the responsibility of protecting the artists. If they see some random website using one of their artists songs, they will simply send them a cease and desist letter, because the artist is never going to do that unless they do. If you happen to be the owner of the website, then you can just tell them that, and I'm sure they won't sue you for it. It also wouldn't stand up in court most of the time. They aren't doing it to be rude, it's just a complicated system.
