Following is a direct quote from FMA's FAQ about how music copyright works, with my emphasis added in red.
"Music copyright is one of the most complicated areas of copyright law, partly because every piece of recorded music has two separate copyrights, one in the "composition" and one in the "sound recording." In a simple world, every song's composition copyright would be owned by its writer, and every song's sound recording copyright would be owned by its performer. (For example, Jeff Buckley would own the sound recording copyright in his cover of "Hallelujah," and Leonard Cohen would own the copyright in the composition.) But since copyrights can be and usually are bought, sold, split up, or given away, finding out who owns each of the rights to a given song can be really a difficult task. It's also a task that you don't have to worry about when you're using FMA."
