I've been approached to do videos of dance recital shows for a local dance
group....The people attending the shows are mainly the familys of those who
are performing in them....up to about 50 or so performers, who'd be dancing
to around 20 different pieces of music.....There would be approx. a number
<50 copies of DVDs that would be sold for a nominal fee to people who were
in the show and maybe their moms etc.
My concern is that the music used is under copyright.....
Is it unlikely that anything would come of this because of the minimal
sales/profit on such a thing or should I just decline the job?
.....I think I could demonstrate that I'd really not be making anything off
this if I considered the cost of my equipment, time etc.....if I was making
a DVD at about $15per.....but I of course understand that that doesn't make
any legal difference....
any thoughts? or work-arounds to this?
