Depends whether you have the reproduction right. The MCPS rights will
almost certainly rest with the record company - you may own the copyright
(or have rights to use the song) but the rights of reproduction are most
likely to be living with the record company. You'd have to pay an MCPS fee
to produce a legal copy of a specific recording....I think....:-)
