I decided to use YouTube for public viewing and Picasa for family videos. I have Janis Joplin's Bobbie McGee in my i-tunes file. I used it for the Rainy Day video. YouTube put up a notice that Germany will not play it because of copyright laws. I didn't know there could be a copyright infringement if I purchased a song from i-tunes. All you purchased from iTunes was the right to play the tune for yourself and not for use in your videos. That requires another license entirely. Just about any popular tune will require a clearance and they'll usually a fee paid. But there are sites that have free music you can use with a Creative Commons license. If you are musician you could create a tune that hints at Bobbie McGee but doesn't infringe. I hint at the Beatles Cry Baby Cry in my Republican Cry Babies video but there is not enough there for them to claim infringement. In Germany the young folks have started the Pirate Party as a new political group and they want to revamp copyright laws. Those laws have become absurd. Disney was the prime villain in the mess using the excuse that Mickey Mouse was falling out of copyright so they wanted it extended.

However Disney does hold a trademark on Mickey which is sufficient for their interests. I think that what they were really going after was keeping the their 1930s era cartoon productions out of the public domain so they could keep selling them to the public. Little kids don't know much difference between a 1930s cartoon (often better drawn) and a modern day one. However Disney's actions are criminal as they have hampered innovation in society and stifled a lot of free speech. Some copyright change advocates suggest a 3 year lifetime should be enough. I would argue 15 years. If you can't make money off of it by then it wasn't worth anything anyway. There is nothing new under the sun and chances are if you dig deep into the archives of traditional folk tunes you'll find about every melody existed before. It's been said that Burt Bacharach has an extensive library of folks songs and would select a folk song close to what he wanted to write and base it on that. That way if some nut job thought he stole his tune Burt could show that it was based on a 200 year old folk song. One could probably build computer searchable MIDI libraries of folk tunes and start a business to destroy song copyright lawsuits. Most composers have no idea if they tune they've written has ever been written before. Thanks, Bhairitu. I had a post up about the Pirate Party. I thought they were about information sharing. Oh, well...the best laid plans. I wasn't familiar with the term Creative Commons. I Googled it and found out that YouTube recently developed Creative Commons licenses for its new YouTube Video Editor. I'm going to check it out. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/06/youtube-creative-commons/ Good information about creative commons here: https://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos I also discovered this guy. I like his music. http://www.joshwoodward.com/music/ Last night I put up a video on YouTube for Fairfield's Sac Fox Lapidary Club my Mom belongs to. She's the nice looking older lady in a gold shirt smiling at me. She moved here from Detroit 12 years ago. Every year since then she organizes about 60 volunteers for the annual Gem and Mineral Show and I help her out. She turned 88 this month and still going strong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOlf4OnbFkkfeature=channel_video_title

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Raunchydog Videos
Cool. I love that line about waiting for the rain to let up. Where I live, in the Pacific Northwest, when it starts raining, we have absolutely no expectation that it is going to stop in an hour, or a day, or a month, or a couple of months for that matter. That's what I love about thunderstorms...they come, they dump, and then the sun comes out.
