I have heard it said that Pretender has been "abandoned" by the band... does that mean my banbd can cover it without asking permission from Eisley? _________________ http://www.myspace.com/goldengryphons |

You can cover any Eisley song you want and probably not need permission, as long as you aren't recording it and distributing it for money. _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

Sure, but I'm planning on recording it and putting on my band's myspace. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/goldengryphons |

They'll hopefully be able to help you out. Unless someone knows about distributing covers via MySapce. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I'm 95% sure you can record, chop up, distribute, do whatever you want with the song... as long as you don't sell it. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

The song "Pretender" is not for sale anymore, so there shouldn't be any royalties involved in covering it. For that matter, your band won't make money off of posting it on Myspace, so again there should be no royalties involved. However, the fact that Myspace is free and that old songs are out of circulation or widely available hasn't stopped the RIAA from suing people in the past. So definitely check with Boyd to make sure there are no legal loopholes. He might have to check with Warner Brothers, which could take some time. Be prepared for a wait. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

That's a stickier situation since it's on an album that's actually for sale. Royalties might come into play, the same way Radiohead can charge someone for covering "Creep" live. Definitely check with Boyd. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Do whatever you want. Nobody's going to care. Eisley paid Neutral Milk Hotel once during souncheck. It doesn't matter. I hate these stupid copyright laws. _________________ EvilSpace |
