The Record Company Plaintiffs and their recording artists are compensated for their creative efforts and monetary investments largely from revenues attributable to the sale of phonorecords to the public and from license fees for the reproduction, distribution, digital performance, or other exploitation of sound recordings.
The Record Company Plaintiffs are the copyright owners or owners of exclusive rights under United States copyright with respect to certain copyrighted sound recordings embodied in their phonorecords, including but not limited to those listed on Exhibit B (the "Copyrighted Sound Recordings").
Thus, a record company that wants to make a sound recording of a copyrighted musical work, say "Hound Dog" by Leiber and Stoller, for distribution as a CD, cassette tape, phonograph record or Internet download must obtain a license from Leiber and Stoller or their music publishers to do so.
