[joeystuds]

if i managed to deseive a band or group to release a unreleased track or album to me, if i told them in email that i was a record producer and they was silly enougth to believe me an released the unreleased music to me and then i used it in a youtube or sampled it into a cd to play in public or on radio etc would the copy right still cover them

[Postdog]

yes

But don't worry, I have suspicions they may not believe you.

You mean, if you *fraudulently* obtained something by *deception*, can you use it howsoever you wish?

No, you can't.

The rights still reside with the band, or group, and you might find yourself on the wrong end of a law-suit.

If this isn't hypothetical, why not just ask them if you can use it? They'd be happy for the exposure I'm sure, however small it might be. A link to their site from your youtube page is likely to be enough.

saying someone is 'silly enough to believe you' does not absolve you of a crime im afraid.

allowing you to listen to tracks is not releasing them to you...
