So that means, that I will never hear her singing the same songs she sang on other concerts before !?
Unfortunately, I was not there , but she did not sing the original versions of MCE's and Gourmandise's songs, right?

And if that is right (that she doesnt have the permission), why doesn't Mylene (or Laurent) say "Oh, no please, Lilly, go ahead, perform the original songs" !?. Or does Lilly really wants to make new versions of the songs? or she did that just because she thought it was the right decision to leave them the rights of the songs ?




Well, at least, we get something of this .
And...cue trademark Lerxst lecture on licensing .

LMAO

I was actually going to let it go this time because I figured most people would be sick of hearing my spiel every time. But if you insist...

To make a long story short, you can't copyright an arrangement of a song, only the song itself. She does not need Mylene or Laurent's permission to perform the original versions. Basically, Lily has chosen not to sing the original arrangements of the songs.

End of lecture.

Well, at least this time I saw that; so, it removes any possibility of doubt of that which we figured was the case (assuming that applies to France, of course, when she was in Mexico I guess that's all irrelevant).
Yeah, she has said something about wanting to fit the musical environment of her current album or something to that effect. Basically, she moved on and wanted to do her own thing in life.

I don't think Satriani really has a case, especially considering that this song predates Coldplay and Satch (and Alizée):



Advance to about 3:18...it's the same thing. If Satch wins any royalties from Coldplay, he should have to turn around and send them all to Cat Stevens.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

You've never liked Alizée, have you?

I think it is improper using some communist techniques to excuse or doubt some one, who has been on this board so long and wrote so many comments.

Thank you for the defense! I assumed Tchaikovsky was kidding, though. Now, if someone like mibir said it...

I just wanted to use the word of "communist" to counteract the Capitalist. However, I did not believe I used well here. Anyway, Tchaikovsky, I lived in Indianapolis for many years. My kids, wife and I are still regarding ourselves as Hoosiers.
