Ozzie & Lysander
Hey Lys, ever wonder how the rules about music rights actually influence the way we improvise and share riffs? I mean, I was just noodling on a chord progression and the whole copyright thing popped up in my head.
Sure. Copyright lets you play existing melodies in a live set without a license, but if you record or distribute that riff you need permission unless it’s a very small, transformative excerpt that falls under fair‑use. Think of it like borrowing a neighbor’s lawn mower—free to use on the spot, but you can’t resell it.
Nice analogy, thanks! I’ll keep it clean when I record and just keep riffing for the moment.
Good call—just keep an eye on that 30‑second “sampling” threshold before you hit the upload button. It keeps the riff fresh and safe.
Got it, I’ll keep it under 30 seconds and let the groove stay fresh. Thanks for the heads‑up!
You’re on the right track—short, sharp, and legally clean. Keep the groove rolling and the rights intact.
Thanks! I’ll keep the beats tight and the legal stuff tidy. Ready to jam?
Absolutely, let’s keep the groove tight and the rights tidy—ready to jam.
