The Music is Gone

[Reverend Joe]

So what if they post one of their own songs? Could they be sued for copyright infringement on one of their own songs?

[miotas]

Wouldn't that depend on who owned the song?

I suppose there are a few big name artists that still own their own songs but for the most part the songs would be owned by the record labels wouldn't they?

[Lemur]

Could they be sued for copyright infringement on one of their own songs?

Short answer: Yes, absolutely. But it would be terrible PR, so the label probably wouldn't sue, say, Bruce Springsteen for posting Born to Run.

But they could if they wanted to. It's a royally gah-ed up business. Won't be sad to see it die.
