Cover Songs and Remixes

Written by Ahmed Abouelella

Audio Network licenses the original master recordings that we own. If you wish to "cover" or remake a song (record your own version or remix someone else's recording), that typically requires permission from the original copyright holders, not just a license from us. In most cases, our standard licenses do not grant the right to distribute cover versions. We recommend seeking permission from the original artist or publisher for cover songs.

This article clarifies that our licenses allow you to use our recordings as-is, but not to legally recreate someone else's composition, and advises on the proper steps if you want to create a cover.
