I used Fiverr to "hire" someone to record an intro and outro for my upcoming podcast.

[@IndependentPodcastNetwork]

That's a good idea. I used someone from Fiverr to produce short jingles as lead-ins for segments on my podcast- and it sounded great!

If there is a specific line in a song I want to use for my intro, could I use it if it was adapted? For example, the line is 'he's the guy who didn't like musicals'. Could I have someone perform it with a different melody and sing 'she's the girl who really liked musicals' without getting a copyright problem?

[@acctsupsvc6454]

So if I sing a song that is written and performed by someone else...say karaoke on my podcast...is this a problem? Or should I only be considering the writer of the song?

[@VinylBound]

So let me understand this. Anything recorded prior to 1972. The recording is not copyright protected. Therefore, it can be used?

[@karraanderson9435]

How do I find podcast save songs?.

[@JennaJaySongs]

You are so sweet! I love your energy. Great info!

[@JordanCastelli]

What would the situation look like if you used a copyrighted song without permission on your podcast, but you had no intentions of making any profit on it? For example, from my knowledge, sponsors is what provides the funding for a podcast. If someone were to refuse sponsors and only use their own funds as a means to keep the podcast going, what kind of consequences can the podcaster face?

Did you ever find out?

@@ml.9417 i did not, unfortunately.

Misinformation on pre- 1972 music recordings : The Classics Protection and Access Act, Title II of the Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act, brings pre-1972 sound recordings partially into the federal copyright. For recordings first published before 1923, the additional time period ends on December 31, 2021. For recordings first published between 1923-1946, the additional time period is 5 years after the general 95-year term. For recordings first published between 1947-1956, the additional time period is 15 years after the general 95-year term. For all remaining recordings first fixed prior to February 15, 1972, the additional transition period shall end on February 15, 2067. I'm glad I looked this up myself. I could have been sued If I went by what I heard in this interview

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Thanks for the information. I'll research also.

I have a podcast about Brass music, I use little bits of music from different pieces and nothing had happened yet, well we’ve only been going about 5 moths, I own recordings of the pieces I use, does Copyright still apply?

[@HRHMANSOUR]

If you own the music then you can use it all you like. Why would you think otherwise?

[@Fornost42]

Copyright 100% still applies. This is what the guest was referring to with the songwriter and recording rights. If it is very old music, Mozart for example, you may be ok, but I will still contact someone with legal knowledge to confirm!

[@udnsmarketingsolutions]

Great advice. In my recent video I have shared types of music you can choose for podcasting . I woukd love to hear your feedback.
