In light of my previous post, here is a charming and sultry instance of how creative the new rendition of a song in an audio/visual work can be. [more...]

Because media productions are also subject to financial constraints, music budgets are often hit first.
In this way, it is not always possible for media producers to clear the rights of a master recording besides that of the composition itself (the actual song) for their use in an audio/visual project such a commercial (sorry for the legalese!!).
