True or False: Do I Only Need a Mechanical License if I'm Releasing a Physical Product Like Vinyl or CD?

False, whether your release is physical or digital, a mechanical license will be required. While you might intuitively think that "mechanical" requires a physical reproduction of a song, in reality, the term applies to any audio-only reproduction of a song - physical or digital. In most cases, if you're doing a simple cover song you can obtain a compulsory mechanical license through our Cover Song Licensing service in as little as 1 business day.
