Only if you intend/attempt to make a profit from it.

I'd still be cautious though, but that's cause I'm like that.

Covers are OK and full credti must be given, remixes using original sampls from the remixed song are not ok.

They won't sue you for a remix, at worst they will ask you to remove it from the interweb.

Some people can't sing well.
Some people want changes in certain songs.

Some people shouldn't get recognition for changing a song.

Some people remix for fun, not profit.

Just as long as you don't try to make profit from it, or broadcast it in public, I'd think it would be ok. And it's not like the RIAA will hunt you down for it.


I don't take revenue from my profile.
