ScottyDogg I'm no lawyer - but we've had a goood few chats around here on copyright.

From what I understand - parody should mostly be fine, anything else can be questioned. From what I've observed - There's only issues when a human notices and claims DCMA - which won't happen if you arn't getting loooads of plays.

Whats going down on YT with music educators is inexplicable. But 10yrs ago tabs were "illegal" i.t.o copyright. They're still finding a middle ground on YT - streaming is big corporate business and I reckon we're seeing them fighting over market share.

So if you plan on releasing it on streaming services - I wouldn't. If you are doing it just for personal (and our) enjoyment - probably fine. I've got a handful of tunes with samples on SC for 6yrs, +/- 2k plays and 0 issues.

    Nice challenge. Hope I find some time as I now work two jobs since last week.
    I have the perfect Christmas song I would like to cover. I don't want to give too much away, but it comes form a game and has always been stuck in my head.....

    klaasvakie amp stealer is somehow worse than girlfriend stealer

    There's one worse, dude whop nicks your speakers replaces with his own blown out ones...happens more often than you'd think!

    klaasvakie I started off as a repugnant individual (Warlock), graduated to total douchebag (superstrat & Headless Steinberger), then found my rightful place as a Brother from another Mother (strat) ?

                      This one is going to be TOIT for me... My child was born prematurely on 19 October and his actual due date was 29 November... He is currently still in NICU in a hospital 100km away from home so we are traveling between home and hospital and are temporarily relocating (staying at friends) closer to the hospital.

                      If he gets home in time I will make a plan to smash out something... We are hoping he comes home soon because he has made some great progress... but the doctors still say "bargain on his original due date".

                        ? Ok this was fun. Head over to the ‘automatic Christmas song generator’ (I kid you not!)

                        A Wooly and Drunk Punk Rocker By Beer belly dudes
                        A Christmas Song

                        Last Christmas, I gave you my axe
                        But the very next day, you cut off your toe
                        This year, to save me from tears
                        I'll give it to Celine Dion

                        I'm dreaming of a hot Christmas
                        Just like the ones I used to know
                        Where the bills glisten and mosquitos listen
                        To hear crying in the snow

                        You were hippy
                        You were floofy
                        Monarch of braamfontein
                        When the band finished playing
                        They howled out for more
                        The crowd were swinging
                        All the mosquitos they were singing
                        You asked me to drink
                        And then we did eat

                        But then last Christmas, I gave you my axe
                        And the very next day, you cut off your toe
                        This year, to save me from tears
                        I'll give it to Celine Dion instead

                        You're sleepy
                        You're lazy
                        Happy Christmas to you
                        I pray God it's your last

                        Rockin' around the Christmas fire
                        At the Christmas party hop,
                        Rockin' around the Christmas fire,
                        Let the Christmas spirit ring,
                        Later I'll have some beer
                        And me and Celine Dion will eat

                        I don't want a lot for Christmas
                        There is just one thing I need
                        I don't care about slap
                        I just want Celine Dion for my own
                        More than you could ever know
                        Make my wish come true oh
                        All I want for Christmas is Celine Dion

                        Oh, Celine Dion yeah, oh Celine Dion yeah
                        Celine Dion the Punk Rocker is a wooly, drunk soul
                        Celine Dion the Punk Rocker is a fairy tale they say

                        Celine Dion baby, I want you and really that is all
                        I'll wait up for you, dear
                        Celine Dion baby, won't you eat with me tonight?

                        So here it is, hot Christmas
                        Everybody's here to drink
                        Look to the future now
                        It's only just begun

                        Simply having a hot Christmastime
