So, there has been some talk on here about song writing and copyright infringement. I have been writing some songs with my band. The other day one of the band members remarked that there was a similarity between our newest song and an old hit. We began to discuss copyright lawsuits.
We soon realized that, (with the low pay we get from local bars), after gear, transportation, and our bar tab, it typically costs us a chunk of money every time we play our new songs. So, if we get sued for copyright infringement, we figure the original artist is going to have to chip in to pay for the money we are losing playing our version of their song.
Seems like bullet-proof logic to me. I may have been drinking a bit during practice though.
