Please forgive a novice...
I am just questionning for clarification.
You are saying that with the rights to "repackage" a song makes that song an asset?
How? You still do not own that song, only the rights to distribute it with a new photo on the album? Are you allowed to remix it with new beats and resell it that way? Would this give you sole rights and ownership to the original and/or modified version?
Let's say you now own the modified version. I doubt you will ever own the original unless you pay a lot for it and even then, the creator probably still owns its rights to it.
So you would have "Recreated" new versions of each song you have the licensing for. You would definitely try to generate revenues of these songs as you paid a lot in fees to be allowed to proceed, wouldn't you?
Has Foxy Liar Roxy or her late husband done so?
The music they advertised on their site were the original version, nothing else. And it wasnt even possible to buy!
