And before people simplify this to think it means you own recordings of yourself, contract law is a thing.


You totally missed the nuance of the parenthetical part of the comment. "if you recorded it yourself" are the magic weasel words. Left unsaid is that if someone else recorded it where you were asked to perform for the person doing/paying for the recording whether you were paid or not means they own the copyright.


That isn't nuance... Even if you recorded it yourself, you may still not have rights to distribute...


That is less elucidative than I suspect you think it is.


I thought it would get people to imagine ways things could happen. Not that it was an easy answer in itself.
