Nobody gets paid when garage bands cover songs… at gigs..

Legally, they should get a piece of the pie. I do recall some issues where Activision was accused of not paying some artists for their cover tunes with Rock Band.

covers = ugh
and when it’s a cover, do the original artists get a piece of the pie, or is that the production company’s way of eliminating them from the $ factor ?

I’m a little tired of cover songs personally. I’ll probably pick up the Smashing Pumpkins song though. I finally got rid of Guitar Hero 2 and GH3 so I could concentrate more on Rock Band.
