So, if my brain ‘ingested’ a song lyric and now I can sing it, does that mean I owe GEMA royalties every time I hum in the shower? asking for a friend. who is me. my friend is me.
Unless you are performing it for others, or for profit, they generally don’t care.
My understanding is that it’s for learning only. You should be safe for your private singing purposes. It seems like you would owe them royalties if you created your own song lyrics, after having read/heard one of theirs…
They sure would like that.
Never thought I’d hail the GEMA for what they’re doing…
