Different scenarios, different rules. You're talking about *recording* a work. The previous discussion was about *playing* a *recording*.

That said, I think artists can object to their recordings being used, but only after the fact. I think Trump used some music in his campaigns, but as soon as the artist realized, he objected and Trump had to stop using it. That's not nice or good, for both the artist and the person using the recording ...

Cheers,
Wol

You need to clear the rights to be able to legally play the song while playing your movie. I don't think it's all that much different from playing the song on the radio. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by recording?

All these fee-collection agencies allow YOU to play the song.

You need to go back to the source, if you wish to RECORD the song so SOMEONE ELSE can play YOUR version (whether you simply copy someone else's rendition, or get someone to create a new rendition for you).

Ah yes, I see your point now.
