Jonmark you are absolutely right about "derivitive works". The penalty is up to a $100,000 fine and I think 10 years in jail [that is the maximum]. However, this does not apply to a parody. A songwriter cannot control the writing and recording of a parody of their work. But all of the legal "paperwork" still has to be done first.
