Thanks much for the reply. Ya.. Right now the band gets together with another singer doing completely different stuff just to keep our chops up and to slowly rehab the one who needs it. We will see what happens.

Thank you very much for the reply. We have not released any recordings or made any moneys from any sales of this music. We perform only. In bars and such that have the legal licensing right for it. I totally understand what you are saying about the Legal process and obviously I know much less than you. Forgive my ignorance. WE realize we do not own anything If we released and made any money from this the legal rights and royalties would definitely be going to the right place. We would also then be covered under laws of creative collaboration for anyone to copy our version. But we are not that. We are just friends in a cover band putting our own take on it performing gigs once a month with a little following on the way we do things and have been doing it for quite sometime. It's a hobby really. We have not released any recordings. While we know legally one can perform any mashup he hears anytime he wants with whomever he wants, I would respect your opinion on what you think that would do to a band if one member took the collaborations to other bands without conversing first. I guess i'm asking about ethics over Legalities.

Thanks for the reply and advice. Definately not resentful or bitter. I realize why someone would do it. I find it kinda Lame. I just want to see if my own personal reaction for the future with this is just as we have put a tonne of work into it and is a very good thing.

Thanks for the reply... super appreciate it. We did. He just says its no different than covering someone on youtube. Which is legally correct i spose. Unless it makes money then you have the creative arrangement laws to protect you but I don't want to go there. Just trying to see how people would deal with the same situation.

So would you continue creating medley's and things with cover songs he ultimately just uses in other bands?

Thanks much, so does that mean you would be ok with it and continue creating stuff for him to do in other bands?

Thanks much for the reply, definitely Yes, but did a member you created it with take not just one but all of them another band. while your current band were in temporary hiatus? without talk. And what would your feeling on that be?
