I believe the Blues Bothers licensed other bands to use that name. I doubt there were copyright issues with that. In fact, if I were tempted to started a tribute band (in no way will I be tempted to do that!), the original band would be the first I'd contact. Perhaps some deal could be made between the bands to circumvent copyright issues. That would be perfectly legal.

When we are talking of copyright here, are we only talking about the songs writers getting royalties? Or is there a royalty due to the members of the original recording band?

It is an old story: In the '1970s it was standard practice for the record company to own the copyright on the recording. They would typically give the band seven years worth of mechanical (recording) royalties and then the recording reverted to back catalog and all mechanicals went to the recording company. This is why so many artists are re-recording their music and self-publishing - to get control of their song's recordings. Songwriters were granted their writes all along. One of the most well-known cases was that of John Fogarty and Saul Zaentz of Fantasy Records. Zaentz hid a clause in his recording contract that gave HIM ownership of his artist's songs and their royalties. After John left Fantasy, Saul went as far as to charge John to perform his own songs, leading to very public litigation. When Saul sold Fantasy, they bought the company with this blight on their company reputation. They contacted John, gave him back ownership of his own songs, gave him back pay on his royalties, and welcomed him back to the label. That was a pretty cool move. Bob
