Mechanical License - (Not for the guy that fixes your car)

I mentioned previously that I have been reading a book on licensing music.  Here is a snippet from the book on Mechanical Licensing:

The Musician's Guide to Licensing Music - By Darren Wilsey, with Daylle Deanna Schwartz

Page 91: The term mechanical rights is used in reference to the right to manufacture and sell copies of a recording.  Permission for doing so is granted through what's known as a mechanical license.  This is the type of license that is involved with recording contract, soundtrack albums, DVD's, compilations, or any msuic collections where copies are manufactured and sold. 


If you're serious about music, read the book.  It's a great resource.
