Songs for my sound track.
Hey does anyone know some good songs for a zombie movie soundtrack? I've thought of a few but i'm still trying to figure out some more. So far i've got: The End of the World by The Living End, Midlife Crisis by Faith No More, and F*ck The System by System of a Down. Can anyone think of some others?

RE: Songs for my sound track.
I hope you aren't planning on releasing that movie to anyone, because without clearence on that music you run the risk of being sued. With that said I would check out www.freeplaymusic.com they have a lot of different kinds of music you might find something there.
BTW: If you are told to stop using the music, that is what they do first. They serve you with a cease and desist letter, you stop producing copies of the movie or you reedit without their music all is good. Hmmmmmm wonder how I know that??

oops, wonder how I forgot that, lol. Thanks ipon. Is it the same case if we use some local bands? I know some who would do original music for me. If they were to do the music for my movie and we signed some kind of contract thing would it still be illegal?

Yeah, if you use music from someone and they say you're allowed to, and you sign some sort of contract, it's perfectly legal...

Here is a link to the contract I use, Just modify it for your use. I have signed on with 4 bands so far and 2 lawyers have reviewed it and the only change one made to it, was limiting the amount of time to produce the movie.

If they are with a major label odds of getting a contract are slim to none. If they are produced but with a small label, then they usually retain the rights to do what they want.
I would just check with the artist and then with the contract you have your butt covered.

A couple of points, as soon as the music is written it is copyrighted. The same as with your film, as soon as you record it, you receive copyright protection. The term is 'fixed in a tangible medium'. Also, you defintiely want to do contracts, they may say- sure, go ahead and use it, but if theyhave used a rif from another song, you are hanging yourself out for an infringement suit also.This isn't a handshake business, the contract should indemnify you and certify teht no third party has any interest in the music you are using, and that they own the copyright to the music, it does not infringe on anyone elses copyright, and spell out the uses which they are licensing to you, including, broadcast, synch, mechanical, performance, and web based streaming and distribution, 'in any media curently known or yet to be discovered, in perpetuity'
