I've lifted them and it looks like SPKG will be out soon. KC, a soundtrack is a good idea :)KJ Kronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874600586992385488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998347399571844469.post-23830069275756328532011-06-22T10:05:39.886-07:002011-06-22T10:05:39.886-07:00Hi KJ,
I'm glad you touched base on this.
I ...Hi KJ,<br /><br />I'm glad you touched base on this.<br /><br />I had the similar issue with '90 Miles to Freedom' due to be released soon. I mentioned something similar on my blog also.<br /><br />I still don't see why a song can't be mentioned in a book, especially if credit is given to the singer and so on. Either at that moment or placed at the end of the book. It's a bit silly if you ask me.<br /><br />Seriously, if a song is mentioned in a book, it's very possible a reader could go to iTunes and listen to the song and possibly buy it. Yeah, it could help their sales. <br /><br />I have a soundtrack to '90 Miles to Freedom'. I posted it on my blog also, with the song links to iTunes.<br /><br />But with the book, I took out the songs or made it wso nobody could figure it out.<br /><br />I stopped writing for two months when I found out about the copyright laws, trying to figure it out. But in the end... I removed them. It was a sad, sad day.<br /><br />How cool would it have been to include a cd with a book? Seriously... A book with a soundtrack, just like a movie! Ohhhh, the dream of it all :)<br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br />KC<br />http://themagicoffinkleton.blogspot.com<br /><br />The Magic of Finkleton<br />90 Miles to FreedomHiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983881463269626794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998347399571844469.post-66051493905795883022011-06-20T21:56:44.606-07:002011-06-20T21:56:44.606-07:00Oh this copy right!

I mailed to two firm, one from China and other from England to use their name. They never mailed me and as it is possible for me to change, i changed their names. Look, rule is so, i should have the freedom to use those names. One should respond suitably and swiftly. <br /><br />During the period of waiting, like in your case (13 songs) i can write a novel. Oh my again 13. Lol. <br /><br />Kj good luck for you book.Sudamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305650466474659841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998347399571844469.post-79556787097707281872011-06-20T19:17:15.968-07:002011-06-20T19:17:15.968-07:00I had a similar issue with less popular bands. In ...I had a similar issue with less popular bands. In the end, I ended up writing my own lyrics. You can use song titles, but the lyrics are tricky and can get VERY expensive. Not to mention, the laws are different from one country to another. Good luck.Jenny-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080031161234270423noreply@blogger.com
