How do you get permission to record and sell copyrighted music?

Generally, you have to contact the owner of the copyright to use copyrighted materials.
However, if you've already purchased the copyrighted materials (like a book or a movie) and are reselling them (e.g., to a used book store), then you don't have to get permission and you aren't infringing on the user's copyright.

∙ 12y agoYou need a mechanical license for each track.
More than 35,000 publishers have authorized the Harry Fox Agency to handle their mechanical licenses. For runs of 2500 units or less, you can conveniently pay HFA up front through their website; longer runs require an HFA licensee account and quarterly reporting.
For publishers not associated with HFA, you will need a license from them directly. Often they will charge a flat rate instead of requiring reporting.
In the US, mechanical licenses have a statutory rate of 9.1 cents per unit for tracks up to 5 minutes, and 1.75 cents per minute or portion thereof per unit for tracks over 5 minutes. A typical CD costs about one dollar in licensing.

If your use of someone else's copyrighted work falls outside of fair use guidelines, which include factors such as the purpose and character of your use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of your use on the potential market for the copyrighted work, you should seek copyright permission.
Is it illegal to sell music CDs you download from the internet?
Well, you can't download a real item such as a CD off the Internet, but if you are talking about a music CD file, then: It depends on if that music you downloaded is copyrighted. If what you download is copyrighted, then it was illegal to download that music off the Internet in the first place (unless you bought it from a place like www.last.fm or iTunes Store). If what you bought did have copyright, then it is also illegal to sell that music for profit. But, if what you bought didn't have copyright (called freeware), then it is legal to do so.
