I thought I already knew the meaning of interpolation in a musical context: In jazz, a soloist might quote a recognizable bit of melody from a different song, as if to say: "Hey, check this out! This other song has the same changes," or "Listen to this: I can fit this familiar melody over a different set of changes!". This sort of thing falls squarely within Fair Use because: a) it's a form of musical commentary; b) the excerpt is of reasonable length; and c) use in a jazz solo does not damage the market for the original song.

This might be interesting to the legally-minded. From the US Copyright Office. "An interpolation involves taking part of an existing musical work (as opposed to a sound recording) and incorporating it into a new work. While sometimes confused with sampling a sound recording, interpolating a musical work is different because it does not involve using any of the actual audio sounds contained in a preexisting recording. Instead, new audio is recorded. In many cases, similar to samples, interpolations may infringe a copyright owner’s exclusive rights. However, unlike samples, interpolations only implicate the preexisting musical work, which means that only a license from that musical work’s copyright owner may be necessary. Permission from the copyright owner of a preexisting sound recording is not necessary when interpolating a musical work, regardless of how similar the new recording may be to an old recording. This is because, under U.S. copyright law, the exclusive rights in sound recordings do not extend to making independently recorded “sound alike” recordings. Note that re-recording the entirety of an existing song would create a cover recording (discussed below)."

So it's the difference between the score (the sequence of notes) and the lyrics (words) on one side, and a particular performance on the other side. AFAIK, both have always been under copyright law although different rules might apply for each. This still in general does not make it legal to use a new performance of an existing song without paying (and crediting) the original rights holder (writer/publisher). I am not a lawyer and laws differ from country to country, but it still seems like using an obscure term to hide that you've 'stolen' an existing original melody.

In my decades of experience, I have remade many sample for people to save them money on paying to use the original recording. But even if your using a remade version, you still have to give a percentage of the publishing to the original artist / writer. That percentage would be negotiated by how much the sample is used in the new song. Then if the original artist refuses to make a deal with you, then you have to remake the sample so it’s not identical. Ie slightly different chords etc and you may need a musicologist to help you confirm it is different enough so you do not get sued. 😊✌🏼

None of this gets around copyright, and neither is "interpolation." Example 1 is called "a cover version," and performing one is certainly legal (not sure about in a film), but the songwriter must get royalties. Example 2...??? The actual debate is over new songs that use exact melodies from other people's songs without crediting the songwriter. Several major artists have done this, and while the artists themselves are not claiming "interpolation," fans and outside "reactors" are. I think the writers just heard the other song, and later didn't realize the "genius" melody they just came up with is actually somebody else's.

If you remember the old days when your album cover had two copyright notices on it, a (c) and a (p) symbol - both circles rather than brackets used here for convenience - the (c) referred to the copyright owned by the publisher on behalf of the writer and composer, while the (p) covered the copyright of the production by the record label on that single occasion when it was recorded (so therefore THEIR PRODUCED VERSION in the studio THAT DAY). Interpolation appears to be caused by record labels representatives asking for a fee to use the original recording that THEY OWN, but the fee is considered too high so the planned use is re-processed by the users. Since they can't deal with the (p) part of the copyright, they invent INTERPOLATION to challenge using the (c) part of the copyright, meaning they have to PLAY the music and sing the lyrics again, so therefore NOT using the original artist or recording. BUT it goes further, because they change the lyrics and sometimes the melody slightly for it to become interpolation, claiming to be avoiding the original piece of music and thus claiming to avoid paying royalties to the publisher/songwriters. It might simply be the laziest and simplest form of stealing music from original artistes, so the lawyers need to get the rules sorted out quickly.

There is nothing wrong with what you posted from the wiki article. This definition of interpolation is absolutely correct. The article doesn’t say all interpolations are legal. An artist may interpolate an another artist’s work in attempt to skirt copyright law, but that doesn’t mean their attempt is legal. For example, it is correct to say Vanilla Ice interpolated “Under Pressure” as opposed to directly “sampling” it (using the exact recording from a published tract.) However, he didn’t *legally* interpolate it. On the other hand, as you describe it, Dua Lipa did legally interpolate the music used on her album.

The reason they can sometimes get away with covering is they're not using the "sound recording" which holds a copyright on it's own. It doesn't mean the artist can't sue the coverer or company in charge of making it. This is why you often hear music in TV, movies, commercials, etc that just "sounds like" a song where a few notes have been changed enough to be different. With only 12 notes available, it has been determined that every melody has already been done a long time ago. There's nothing new under the Sun that we can really create with what we have. When you write what you think is a "new" melody, it's not. You just haven't heard it before. We're pretty much doomed.

In the USA the laws are different. In the USA there is a compulsory license. Once a musical piece has been distributed to the general public, anyone can cover it in a new recording. All they have to do is pay the compulsory rate. The owner of the original song cannot say no. They only retain control of use of the original recording. So technically an “interpolation” still requires the compulsory rate and credit. There are certain melodic phrases that have been used so often they are basically public domain. Movies are another matter. Movies require a sync license.

Great work Fil explaining the misuse of the word interpolation to steal money and recognition from artists. As a statistical analyst, I often interpolated data to make it more meaningful. Most was data that I either collected directly or obtained from public sources. When you write a report, you have to identify your sources and methodology. I got paid for collecting the data, for interpolating the data, and for writing the reports. You Tube algorithms are just lines of code that somebody wrote, based on what they were told to do. The assumptions and methodology should be made public so the community can be made aware and changes can be made. One big problem is that You Tube is multinational, so laws on copy-write can be very different. Ownership might be different ie: legal nightmare. But thanks for taking this on, Fil!

In an interview, Micky Dolenz was asked if DMC had paid for using that chorus… he said (paraphrasing,) “no, we didn’t ask…they were Run DMC!” Regarding covers, John Fogerty releases an album in 1973 simply titled “The Blue Ridge Rangers,” where he covered Gospel, Country and Bluegrass recordings giving credit to the original writers. John’s name only appears as “Produced and Arranged by John Fogerty… and no credit given to the performers on the album, which were all John on all instruments and vocals. This was a project he had always wanted to do, (one-man-banding songs he grew up listening to. A great testament to the original artists and no way a rip off.) Similar to the artist you mentioned that did an album of covers and giving credit to the original artist.

I think things work differently in the UK and EU. They usually do. Hopefully I'm not just being annoying. The US has something called a "mechanical license" which gives you the right, basically, to do a cover of the original song without begging for permission. So you have an inherent right to perform the song for yourself, to record that song, and even to release your version of it as a commercial recording. You can slap it right on your album, whether the original rights holder likes it or not. So long as you are re-performing the music with your own group and equipment, using none of the original audio, you're covered, even with a straight cover, never mind re-imaginings. The catch is that you are still obligated to compensate the rights owner, financially, if the situation calls for it (if the song's not public domain), but that rights owner cannot forbid the use of the written music so long as it is using the mechanical license in a new performance, and they have been compensated. Taylor Swift used exactly this to sidestep the record company and release her Taylor's Version of everything she's ever done, all over again. She used her mechanical license for that, and they couldn't stop her. She still had to pay, but mechanical rights to her old songs would have been much less expensive than licensing them for another purpose, while giving her back probably full IP ownership of the new performances, so she did it. This mechanical license exists so that all the cover bands working in bars and weddings are on the okay side of the law, and so that popular standards can be performed by aspiring recording artists. It's especially for the sake of orchestras, who very rarely perform originally written modern work but often release performance recordings of other people's music. Interpolation is also crucial for the practice of "quoting" in jazz, where it is considered normal and expected, the license covers that. A lot of well-known jazz songs are actually covers, just heavily reinterpreted. Oh, yeah, and karaoke, there are whole companies reproducing every popular song from scratch minus vocals and selling that to others, the mechanical license grants them the rights they need, automatically. The idea of "interpolation" itself isn't all that relevant. The mechanical license is the core of the thing, making interpolation a creative option that can be used at will, or abused for money, even. Note that the original rights holder (artist or record company) fully controls the recorded music, so Jack White can forbid the use of his actual album track, 7 Nation Army, even tiny snippets of silence between bars if he can catch them, at will. He can demand silly money, he can simply refuse to allow its use, anything he wants. Rights owners have full control over anything that happens to the recordings that were released, the songs you actually know, these recordings are worth millions, and the rights around these original recordings are very broad. This is why KZitem drops the hammer on you for tiny bits of songs. But the actual written music, the sheet music of it, at least in theory, is open to mechanical license by anyone who cares to pick up a guitar and try to play the riff. Yes, that means if the filmmaker wants a gang of youths chanting the White Stripes riff thing like they do at football matches, then so long as it's their youths, and they own the recording of the youths, then all Jack White can do is be pissy about it and also demand some money, but he cannot forbid the use of the hook. Or, he can, but he has no legal recourse other than charging them an arm and a leg for it. If they meet his price, it's in the movie. This assumes that White has any real ownership of his IP, which he might, but many similar artists will not. The legally required compensation to the original rights holder for the exercise of your mechanical license is likely much less money than the compensation for a proper sample of the original audio, especially if you ask nicely enough and file the proper paperwork. Freddy Mercury's original vocal recording is worth millions, but your attempt to mangle it as a cover is worth negative money, so the mechanical license rights are often very cheap. You don't really pay anybody until you start selling albums and getting on radios, so your bar band can get away with a lot of covers for free, but there's already a system in place for if you're made to pay up. It's all considered unremarkable in the US, it's worked like this for decades. Note: KZitem and its Content Match are acting outside any courtroom, and obviously it errs on the side of caution so that Google doesn't get sued by people with actual money. You don't have rights in this space, only privileges that can be granted or denied, so whatever happens on KZitem doesn't matter as far as the US right of mechanical license goes. I think that's what all the interpolations are exploiting, this right to mechanical license. New young audiences probably don't recognize most of these proven Top 40 hooks, so the hooks are ripe for flipping into new songs. The public doesn't have access to whatever contracts, compensations, and arrangements might have been agreed on in private by the lawyers for somebody high profile like Dua Lipa, who is not ever going to get away with anything she isn't actually allowed to do, not without being sued into the dirt. Somebody is happily making more money on songs that haven't seen the charts in forever, thanks to Dua Lipa, so she's probably all the way in the clear. She gets to enjoy prefabricated hits with minimal effort while focusing on the live performance which is now where all the money is. The typical record contract for a young artist tends to grant most of their important IP ownership, if not all of it, to the record company, so after a group has success that creates copycats, the later negotiation for mechanical rights and their use often doesn't involve the original artist at all. In many cases, those artists are left with no rights of their own, or very limited rights. So long as you compensate the record company for your mechanical use, it doesn't matter what the old lead singer thinks. This is all traditional US recording business practice, the only reason artists haven't done more interpolation in the past is that old hooks wouldn't get you the sales traction you want, plus you'd have to give money away that you could just keep if you write your own stuff. But. Rap has become the new standard of business, at least in the US, and that genre has been relying on using old hooks for new hits with no real public pushback, so it has probably changed the way artists think. I'm no expert at all, but even the lowliest US musician is obliged to learn about this mechanical license before you ever try to get on stage at some dive and ask for financial compensation. Obviously you have to know your rights in this country, or else. Things might be different in the UK, and I think that might be the issue. Here's this poor guy going WHAT THE F IS HAPPENING??? It obviously doesn't work like this everywhere else. But it's not fraud. It's mechanical license. Lastly, as with all things, no matter what the rules are, if somebody with money and lawyers wants to pour millions into a court case trying to deny your right to the mechanical license, they can win by exhausting your resources, even if the law isn't on their side. I won't be surprised to find exceptions to what I've said. It all goes smoothly enough when the record companies get to double-dip by first selling more Dua Lipa albums while also getting paid by Dua Lipa for songs they already own. When they don't like what's happening, things can change.

Interpolation is about data changes: additional notes, or notes changing location. Nicolas Slonimsky in his Thesaurus of Scales shows scales thus, and modifications to those scales via interpolation. A direct use of interpolation in music might be the use of invertible counterpoint; a melody is written from low to high instead of high to low, or a counterpoint part which was above a melody is now below, thus retaining the melody but changing the harmonies formed. Either way, change is required; how much change is required so as to avoid plagiarism is another question, but to call this interpolation here, however, is indeed incorrect; if the essential melody does not change, it is a breach of copyright, colloquially known as interpolation.

From ChatGPT: Yes, interpolation is legal, but it requires permission and may be subject to legal and financial conditions. When an artist or producer interpolates a part of another song, they must obtain permission from the copyright holders of the original song, usually the songwriters and the music publisher. This is because the composition itself (melody, lyrics, chord progression, etc.) is protected by copyright, even though the newly recorded part is not a direct copy of the original recording. Here are the key legal aspects of interpolation: 1. **Permissions and Licenses**: To legally use an interpolation, you need to obtain permission from those who own the rights to the original song. This may involve negotiating a license that specifies which parts can be used, to what extent, and under what financial terms. 2. **Royalty Payments**: Once permission is obtained, it often requires the new song to share royalty income with the original song's creators. The proportion can vary depending on how much of the original song is used and how central the interpolation is to the new song. 3. **Credits**: In addition to permissions and payments, there is often a requirement that proper credit be given to the original songwriters in the new song. If these steps are followed, interpolation is completely legal. However, if they are not followed, it can lead to legal disputes, including claims for damages for copyright infringement.

In American football we have a similar issue. If an offensive guy blocks a guy to keep him from defending a pass, it is called "interference" and is a penalty. But if a guy HAPPENS to run into the defensive guy "by accident" it is called a rub route, which is perfectly legal, but looks kinda the same, and in baseball, you have a check-swing, which pretty much looks like a swing, but the umpire says it isn't.

Football has a number of "bad acting" penalties, such as intentional grounding, or the distiction between roughing the kicker vs running into the kicker... there are others, too, where the penalty itself, or the severity, depends on good vs bad acting. If the offensive lineman jumps quick enough when the defender crossed, it's encroachment. If he waits a half a second too late, and then starts pointing frantically... it's probably a false start. In baseball, they technically could standardize a check swing vs full swing. "Balk" is a fun one, though.

There's 11 notes in western music. There's only so much you can do with those notes and even the classic rock bands from 60 years ago were already more or less ripping other artists off. Let's just cry and cry until there's just no new music ever again. If it's not a full on cover why worry about similar or reused melodies and chord progressions?

Even by simply using the Western 11 note musical convention at all, that's just "stealing" something that you haven't come up with yourself. Should you have to go back and financially recompense the estates of all the individuals in history who contributed to the cultural norms of Western musical standards? Culture is a communal experience, it doesn't make any sense to think of it as something you can do your own. It's something that only makes sense by its sharing, and it doesn't make any sense to think any individual can own it, or parts of it. That's the fundamental problem, which is a problem with the concept of copyright at least as applied to cultural things. Does that mean that making a financial living from being a musician who contributes to a shared cultural experience will be much more difficult than (or at least different to) someone who sells actual physical goods. Yes. But so what? Culture isn't physical goods. Just because you'd like to be able to build a career on the pretence that they're the same thing, that doesn't mean we should write laws to enable it.

By now you may have heard about the Top music attorney channel did a reaction to your video about that couple who did those fake x factor videos. Interesting take on it from a U S attorney.

It's existed for a long time. There are companies that re-perform samples to avoid copyright issues but it was never called "interpolation".

The comparison between intellectual property and physical property doesn't hold, because if you take something physical, the owner doesn't have it anymore. Interpolation is still theft though.

When you steal a person's song and claim the royalties, that is a permanent loss to the song's creator.

People are doing the same thing with houses. You go out of town and they move in. They change the locks and you can't get in. They say this is my house. Ugh!

When we had riots here in the states a couple years ago, a number of online outlets were using nicer sounding words, like appropriation, to describe the looting.

You’re 100% correct. In photography, interpretation is a digital sampling of colors in a photograph used to enlarge a photograph. Interpolation stays within the original photograph. In this case, interpolation is stealing terminology from photography. And now using it out of context to justify the legal theft of copyrighted information.

"AI movie director" is all you need to know that that person is a talentless psychopath who is stealing material from actual artists.

Okay, so I'm trying to think up a good name for what record labels and producers are doing when they take an album - say a phenomenal and eponymous debut album released in August 1977 - and heavily pitch corr ...er, pitch CHANGE the originally brilliant vocals, as is the current music industry standard, upon its re-release in 2027 to celebrate its 50th anniversary without labeling it as such and, more than likely, without the permission of the vocalist or his band or estate. I have a couple of words for it in mind right now but I need to refine it. :)

I think Conan Gray did a good job on interpolating his song „Lonely Dancers“ from Man without hats - in the meaning of „inspired by“. You recognize the song and that sounds like interpolation (in my understanding of the word). The whole album „Found Heaven“ is inspired by 80‘s songs.

As i understand it, legal agreements for interpolation can be made that may OR may not include a songwriting credit for the original artist. In either case, the original writer is being compensated in some way, whether flat fee or royalties.

That's my question, how do we know whether there's an agreement in place or not for each possibly infringing work?
