Thinking subversively, are there standard contracts that studios and labels use? Have they been leaked somewhere? Are there loopholes that would allow creators to, while remaining under contract, exercise their own copyright by declaring their works under free licenses FAL, FL, CC-BY-SA, or otherwise? Or are are the copyrights generally fully transferred to the studio/label/whatever?
More practical and subversive, I'm wondering how copyright law holds up when representing one creative work in another form. For example, what if you created some software that could encode music in beautiful imagery? It would no longer be a song, it would be a picture, a piece of art on its own, but it could be translated back into that song, and used to circumvent copyright that way, or would that still be illegal? Yours, .danny
