This is also just my assumption (need I point out that IANAL?) but I
would think a different rip or encoding of the same recording WOULD be
covered. That seems reminiscent of another thread going on on this list
right now, which seems to have concluded that different resolutions of
the same photograph are considered one "work." In the same way, I'd say
different encodings of a recording are the same "work," but different
recordings of the same song would not be.
Universally in the music industry recordings have one set of copyrights
and compositions another. Again, IANAL, and TINLA, but I would think
that stating "Recordings licensed under ..." would not inadvertently
license the underlying compositions. In other words, if a record label
wanted to sign you but only wanted to cut exclusive licenses to those
songs, you could re-record and the new recordings would be sufficiently
locked up. (In fact, I am under the impression this happens all the
time outside the realm of CC.)
Best,
Parker
