Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
I've seen lots of musicians post mp3 files on websites (for free download and for sale), including musicians I know personally. I've never *heard* of them having any issues related to using mp3 format on the songs they sell or provide for free. I doubt you'd have any issues. Then again, I'm not a lawyer and don't know anything about the legalities of this. So if you're concerned you should seek legal advise from a competent attorney with entertainment law experience.Leave a comment:

Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
As for YouTube - I decided to use OPUS, if it's better than these. But for audiostock site, that I used for a long time, I need to have MP3. I don't know how others solve these problems, but there are lot of musicians worldwide...Leave a comment:

Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
I see. You own the copyright and are asking about rules on the use of the codec to create the commercial release. I have no information on that to assist.Leave a comment:

Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
I mean of course that I have my own rights to the music. But in process of its being in MIDI format (or WAV) and saving to MP3 does this saving require license? If no, why then there were problems that had LAME encoder owners? Isn't because this MP3 saving required additional license that they had no money?
And when user uses they soft to record his own music to MP3 doesn't he violate laws of Fraunhofer? By the way, there's no info on this on their page (Technicolor).
For example, some software doesn't allow to commercially use received results according to license.
Or at least theirs site says that you require to pay if you distribute MP3 files commercially.
And as for CREATING files?Leave a comment:

Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
Russian copyright law was based on the Western European model and was adapted to suit Soviet socialist values. The principal of copyright law is basically the same throughout all territories, worldwide.Leave a comment:

No. Not in the United States or in most European countries I know about. But I can't speak to Russian law.Leave a comment:

Re: Question on MP3 saving and use
what do you mean, "use commerically"?
One doesn't own the music, whether one can rip and save the file or not. Depending on the country's laws, one has the right for personal use of a CD, or digital files ripped from the CD, but one doesn't own the right to sell the digital files, use them in a commercial product (e.g., as a soundtrack in a movie), etc.Leave a comment:

Question on MP3 saving and use
Hello!
Can anybody answer this question:
If I'm a Russian user can I freely convert any files to MP3 with dBpoweramp and later use them commercially?
Does this require license for now (as I suppose from Technicolor)?
I've seen info in Wikipedia, that MP3 patents are run out in 2012 worldwide except USA. Also there's no info about this on mp3licensing.com.
So really I can save MP3 on Windows 7 for free and use commercially without any limitations?
Thanks
