Matt Rowe, guitarist for Hollywood Doll, has just discovered (thanks to a tip off from me) that someone is planning on releasing an EP (that they are already allowing people to pay for in advance) that has one of his songs on it. The blog entry on this person's Myspace page says musical credit to Matt Rowe. Here's the rub though, he knew nothing about. He hadn't even been asked if the song could be used, let alone given his person for it to be used. Needless to say he is a little pissed off!
Ironically I had already spoke to this person about copyright of songs and using them without permission, seems they weren't listening. I can only assume that, as Matt hasn't given his permission for his song to be used, the other 4 tracks that are listed are also in danger of being used without permission.
No doubt the person selling advance copies had no intention of giving Matt any financial reward for using his song so she makes the cash off of his work and he gets fuck all!
Copyright is copyright, don't do your own thing and make it copywrong!
