If you are a musician or artist in Detroit, East Lansing, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Traverse City or any other Michigan city, chances are you have had questions about copyright protection. Michigan musicians and artists often remix or sample the work of others. Sampling and remixing can be a dangerous practice, however, as an artist or musician can run into copyright licensing issues and may even be sued for copyright infringement. While copyright fair use law may protect some uses, others are not so clear. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has said that musicians who want to sample songs must simply get a license. The case law has made this issue less certain, however, in subsequent years. Regardless, one thing is certain. If you are a Michigan musician or artist and you want to remix or sample the work of another musician or artist, you will be best served to consult with a Michigan copyright lawyer.
