I have used an iLife Loop as the basis for the pre chorus and chorus of a song I have created. The rest is mine and I have written lyrics for the whole.
It seems to me that a third party wrote the jingle and could have a claim on this. Is this correct?
If so then how would I find out who that is and gain permission and or assign part of the copyright to them should income come from the song?
The Logic Pro and MainStage software license agreements state:
"Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by or accessed through the Apple Software to the respective content owner.
Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content.
Whilst the use of the Loop from Apple's point of view seems to be OK this clause, prior to that muddies the waters. Anybody have any insight on this please?
Thanks
Nic
