     NYSPHSAA Cheer Music Guidelines
Please provide a copy of your music release
with your registrationNYSPHSAA has developed these
guidelines to assist our member schools with compliance with the copyright
regulations that arise with the use of music for cheer routines and
performances. The copyright law is designed to protect artists, promote creativity
and to ensure that artists are compensated for their work. Pursuant to the
copyright law proper licenses must be obtained to make additional copies of music
and to remix recordings. All recordings used in cheer routines should be properly

licensed. The school should maintain confirmation of any of the licenses obtained
for the music. Copyright Law U.S. copyright law grants to the author/artist or
their assignee a “Bundle of Rights”. The exclusive rights include the following: 1.)
The right to make copies of the work 2.) The right to publicly perform or record
the work 3.) The right to distribute the work 4.) The right to make modifications of
the work such as remixes or mash- ups Copyright Infringement Copyright
infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission,
infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the
right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make
derivative works. Monetary penalties can be incurred per use, per instance.
License of Copyright Permission to use any of the rights granted to the author of
the work is called a license. Each piece of music has at least two copyright
holders, one for the song and one for the master recording. You need permission
from both. The license should include the right to make copies of the music for
the team members. USA Cheer provides a list of music providers/venders who they
have determined have the appropriate licenses for the music they are providing.
The list includes music providers/venders who license original music, covers
and/or remixes. A list of approved providers can be found at the USA Cheer
website. Music purchased from commercial sources such as ITunes, Amazon MP3 or
other authorized commercial digital music stores only gives the user the right to
use the music for personal, non-commercial use. It does not give the user the
right to make copies, remixes or mash-ups. If a team only uses one song for a
routine, they may use a legally purchased copy of the song at a NYSPHSAA
competition. However, the team cannot re-mix the tune in any way (such as
changing the tempo, adding music or sound effects or mixing with other songs).
Teams may make minor edits for timing purposes, such as removing a chorus or
bridge. Your team can compose or create its own original music. Your team can
work with a group that creates original music for teams but that group would
have to license or assign to your school the necessary rights. A written record of
all licenses should be kept on file. Rules to Remember -Do not use mash-ups or
remixes, either created by you or sold by music providers without the proper
license. -Do not download songs from sites that are not properly licensed -Do not
copy or distribute recordings you have legally purchased without permission. It is
the responsibility of the member school to secure the proper licenses for the
music used for its cheer routines. These guidelines should not be construed as
legal advice. If you have concerns you should check with your school attorney.
