Sirius 13 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hi all!! Does anybody have any info regarding possibly performing Gaga’s old OLD (like 2006-2007, Retrosexual, Vanity, Panty Party, etc) unreleased songs IN DRAG at a small Virginian gay club? Or even at a larger club in Richmond? LOL, like, I understand that copyright is a thing, but would I be sued if I performed and didn’t ask for legal permission? Like can I do it if I don’t make any money? Can I make money for lip syncing to an unreleased bop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whore 11,447 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 technically there is such thing as performance copyright but that comes into play if you are profiting from the performance. that being said, like everyone else has mentioned, the chance of thing being an issue is slim. I say give her unreleased the recognition it deserves! what song were you considering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borislshere 53,080 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Isn’t it just as illegal to perform her released material without permission? As others stated, I don’t think it matters tbh. I doubt they’d come after you for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 73,868 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think if it was Stupid Love the month before it came out it would be a little messy, but something like No Way I don't think anyone will care Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcamstic 1,596 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 weren’t drag queens performing stupid love when it leaked before release i think you’re fine sis! i honestly think gaga would love drag artists paying tribute to her old unreleased work flying like 1000 birds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,293 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 "Unreleased" has no legal meaning. So the question is just, can you cover her songs without permission? And the answer is, yes. You'd just have to pay for a compulsory license. In practice, it seems unlikely that anyone relevant will ever find out, much less come after you.
