Topic: This Week In Chiptune (my live chipmusic show) (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi ChipMusic, just wanted to give a heads-up about my weekly chiptune show. I broadcast live on Mixify, and then post the episodes to Soundcloud, Mixcloud and iTunes.
I get tunes from Bandcamp, ChipMusic.org and uCollective primarily. I also feature netlabels when new releases come out. This Week In Chiptune is a live DJ set, so not very much is planned in advance. I listen to the music for most the day but when 10PM rolls around I mix live. I include download links to all the music I play in the descriptions of each episode, and in the chat of Mixify when I'm playing live. Oh, and the show focuses on new chiptunes that have come out in the previous week. So every show is very different!
Every old episode is up for free on my website - http://thisweek.djcutman.com
Hope you enjoy This Week In Chiptune :]

Topic: Dj CUTMAN, Spamtron - MeowMeow & BowWow (5 replies, posted in Releases)
Spamtron and I released a Link's Awakening remix tribute last week. He re-wrote all the instruments in renoise, I handled drum production and mixing in ableton. We did the song arrangements together (but all the really great stuff is Spamtron). http://music.gamechops.com/album/meowmeow-bowwow/
We licensed the songs mechanically for Nintendo, hence the fixed-price thing (we're liable to pay for every download). if you don't want to pay, you can rip the youtube versions [I made 'em HD ;]
Hope you like!

You could start getting involved by donating to one of the fine recurring chiptune broadcasts, like mine: This Week In Chiptune
I use proceeds to cover the cost of hosting the podcast for iTunes, paying for the music I play on the show, and supporting the reality chipmusic love industry or whathaveyou.

It's important to note though that covers/remixes are completely different copyright realms, too. When buying a mechanical license you're concerning the melody and arrangement, not the original recording, so you now are permissed to mechanically recreate the song. Meaning, no source material is used. If you want to use the original recording, you'd have to clear the sample of it. Maybe someone else on here can confirm/deny.
you are correct, sir.

Say Cutman, does the license you got ever like, expire? Is it limited to a number of downloads? We talked a bit about this before, but I feel this could be relevant material for all interested on this forum!
The license does it expire, it's based on the number of downloads and streams the song gets. For reference, I licensed 250 downloads and 2500 streams, which ran about $100. But as soon as it goes above those numbers, I'm obligated to buy more.

Hai friends. Purchasing a mechanical license is how one releases a cover song like this; there are no samples, and no copyright is being breached. I'm paying Deadmau5's publisher for every download and stream the song gets. Mechanical licenses can be purchased for nearly any commercially released song, through the Harry Fox Agency or through much more convenient, web-based company LimeLight.
I'll take this moment to dispel a common myth that not charging for something makes it legal; if you use uncleared samples or have written a cover song and haven't bought a mechanical license, you are technically breaching copyright. The way the Internet and music industry are changing will one day (I hope) allow this type of creativity within the law (in some countries, it is very close to legal). Despite continued efforts, Creative Commons has not been fully adopted into our countries legal system. I encourage any musician who writes cover songs to legally clear them by buying a mechanical license; if not for anything else for peace of mind.
And in respond to Saskrotch's comment about my Bandcamp, you must have overlooked the first two letters of my name ;3
