NYSPHSAA Cheer Music Guidelines

NYSPHSAA has developed these guidelines to assist our member schools withcompliance with the copyright regulations that arise with the use of music for

cheer routines and performances. The copyright law is designed to protect artists,promote creativity and to ensure that artists are compensated for their work.

Pursuant to the copyright law proper licenses must be obtained to make additionalcopies of music and to remix recordings. All recordings used in cheer routines

should be properly licensed. The school should maintain confirmation of any ofthe licenses obtained for the music. Copyright Law U.S. copyright law grants to theauthor/artist or their assignee a “Bundle of Rights”. The exclusive rights include

the following: 1.) The right to make copies of the work 2.) The right to publiclyperform or record the work 3.) The right to distribute the work 4.) The right to

make modifications of the work such as remixes or mash- ups CopyrightInfringement Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright

law without permission, infringing certain exclusive rights granted to thecopyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform theprotected work, or to make derivative works. Monetary penalties can be incurred

per use, per instance. License of Copyright Permission to use any of the rightsgranted to the author of the work is called a license. Each piece of music has atleast two copyright holders, one for the song and one for the master recording.

You need permission from both. The license should include the right to make copiesof the music for the team members. USA Cheer provides a list of music

providers/venders who they have determined have the appropriate licenses forthe music they are providing. The list includes music providers/venders who

license original music, covers and/or remixes. A list of approved providers can befound at the USA Cheer website. Music purchased from commercial sources such asITunes, Amazon MP3 or other authorized commercial digital music stores only givesthe user the right to use the music for personal, non-commercial use. It does not

give the user the right to make copies, remixes or mash-ups. If a team only uses onesong for a routine, they may use a legally purchased copy of the song at a NYSPHSAA

competition. However, the team cannot re-mix the tune in any way (such aschanging the tempo, adding music or sound effects or mixing with other songs).Teams may make minor edits for timing purposes, such as removing a chorus orbridge. Your team can compose or create its own original music. Your team canwork with a group that creates original music for teams but that group would

have to license or assign to your school the necessary rights. A written record ofall licenses should be kept on file. Rules to Remember -Do not use mash-ups orremixes, either created by you or sold by music providers without the proper

license. -Do not download songs from sites that are not properly licensed -Do notcopy or distribute recordings you have legally purchased without permission. It is

the responsibility of the member school to secure the proper licenses for themusic used for its cheer routines. These guidelines should not be construed aslegal advice. If you have concerns you should check with your school attorney.
