Remix, Reprise Et Droits, I need some cash Options

[Der Heimchemiker]

Y-at-il une alternative à la facturation forfaitaire quand on fait un remix? Je pense qu'un remix d'un morceau est parfois tellement différent (voir mieux) que l'original qu'on peux le considerer presque comme une oeuvre autome. Or, si j'ai bien compris le règlement de la SACEM, une fois qu'une oeuvre est déclaré, elle le restera à jamais sans possiblité d'y changer quoique ce soit (par exemple la déclarer sous une autre forme avec l'accord de l'auteur, un bis en quelque sorte). Concrètement, le mec qui vend son remix pour 100 pesetas et qui voit que le morceau cartonne grace à lui sans qu'il y touche un pourcentage, c'est tant pis pour lui. Est-ce que quelqu'un a une astuce?
Bis.: cette problématique vaux aussi pour une reprise, puisque la SACEM ne redistribue kedal à l'interprète et à l'arrengeur...

Quand je remix je me sers de ça :



PERSONAL CONTRACT FOR THE COMPOSITION OF MUSIC
[INCORPORATING THE MANIFESTO OF MISTAKES]

THIS IS A GUIDE FOR MY OWN WORK AND NOT INTENDED AS THE CORRECT OR ONLY WAY TO WRITE MUSIC EITHER FOR MYSELF OR OTHERS.

1. The use of sounds that exist already is not allowed. Subject to article 2. In particular:

No drum machines.
All keyboard sounds must be edited in some way: no factory presets or pre-programmed patches are allowed.

2. Only sounds that are generated at the start of the compositional process or taken from the artist's own previously unused archive are available for sampling.

3. The sampling of other people's music is strictly forbidden.

4. No replication of traditional acoustic instruments is allowed where the financial and physical possibility of using the real ones exists.

5. The inclusion, development, propagation, existence, replication, acknowledgement, rights, patterns and beauty of what are commonly known as accidents, is encouraged. Furthermore, they have equal rights within the composition as deliberate, conscious, or premeditated compositional actions or decisions.

6. The mixing desk is not to be reset before the start of a new track in order to apply a random eq and fx setting across the new sounds. Once the ordering and recording of the music has begun, the desk may be used as normal.

7. All fx settings must be edited: no factory preset or pre-programmed patches are allowed.

8. Samples themselves are not to be truncated from the rear. Revealing parts of the recording are invariably stored there.

9. A notation of sounds used to be taken and made public.

10. A list of technical equipment used to be made public.

11. optional: Remixes should be completed using only the sounds provided by the original artist including any packaging the media was provided in.
