We don't publish what we have not created from scratch. We don't publish
what belongs to other copyright holders. In case of instrumentals of previously-made
songs or compositions, we make sure we follow the "fair use" guidelines:
(i) we always try to "remake" the instrumentals from scratch in such a
distinctive and transformative manner that can be discerned from the original composition,
(ii) we ALWAYS attribute the original creators/owners, (iii) we do it for
non-commercial demonstrative and educational purposes by analyzing the songs and
trying to show "how" the original composer has been thinking (iv), we
make sure we won't make the outcome available at "publishable", "usable"
or "commercial" quality to the public domain so that the potential market
of the original song is not affected by our work, especially when we mix our instrumentals
with original or 3rd party a capellas.
The instrumentals of old compositions are merely produced and presented for "demonstrative",
"non-commercial" and "educational" purposes to keep the musical
spirit alive in memories for die-hard fans of this great musical style.
In case we mix our instrumentals with original or 3rd party a capellas, we make
sure we "strictly" follow the "fair use" guidelines so that
the potential market of the original song is not affected.
