I'm just curious but what is the law or etiquette with regards to recording songs for a steel cd. Do you have to contact the writer of the song other than songs that come under public domain, and ask for permission to use their song? Everything has become so convoluted in this area it seems the rules have gone out the window.

Moved to the 'Music' section of the Forum.

The Harry Fox Agency handles licensing of songs for CDs. You can pay all of the songwriter royalties through them. You only need to contact the publisher directly if the song has never been recorded before.
