So, I have a rather interesting question posed to me by a commercial client who's usually rather knowledgeable on these matters. The question is actually rather involved and I dont' know if anyone on here would have the answer (maybe Andrew) but I thought I'd ask anyways. Because mayeb one of you have come across this before.
If a film company wants permission to use an artist's song for a commercial but that artist's song contains samples that were optained by yet another artists, do you need the rights from both artists? I figure that you would but I'm just not certain. This is the first time I've run into this.
