Hi guys,
I haven't posted on this forum in a couple of years but now I need some advice. I host an open mic show in Ireland once a month and we record the show and make videos of some of the performances, only 2 - 3 per month because of the time it takes to edit all the stuff. We post the videos on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTVLugcJ2wAe2wjWSkOoaYg
One of the acts has stripped the audio from a video we made and are selling it on Bandcamp as a live EP. If they had asked me if they could do this I probably would have said yes, go for it, and I would have sent them the mastered audio from the live perfoirmance instead of them having to strip the compressed audio from Youtube. But they didn't ask. They just did it.
My son recorded this band, I mixed it all on my own gear in my own time. I feel that I own it. I feel that if they are selling it then I should get a cut. Is that right? If they don't want to give me a cut I want them to stop selling it.
I'd appreciate any advice anybody could give me here.
Thanks
Conor
