[Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
One part of this discussion is whether the music rights really belong with the recording artists. Work for hire and numerous authors create a difficult legal tangle. Another part of this discussion, which Jessica alluded to, and which is more interesting culturally, is what the artists will do with the music once they get it - market it differently, sell it on their sites, let it be downloaded, rewrite contracts with labels to distribute? Record companies have been behind the curve on digital distribution for the last 20 years - they failed to figure out how to deliver to a new digital native population) - and had contentious relationships with their artists. Now that their business model is eroded, this development may change that although they will kick and scream. The anime example is regarded as true. Companies did not release anime in US and a thriving (and passionate) audience traded dupes, fansubs and fandubs at conventions and online until their number could not be ignored, and it is now a $4 billion industry. Not everyone steals everything always. What this story really foretells, with music rights further fragmented away from music labels, is the final nail in their coffin. They can't even release remastered greatest hits anymore. - - Roger Brown Manager UCLA Instructional Media Collections Services 46 Powell Library Los Angeles, CA 90095-1517 office: 310-206-1248 fax: 310-206-5392 rbr...@oid.ucla.edu -- Message: 3 Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:44:19 -0400 From: Jessica Rosner jessicapros...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Message-ID: CACRe6m8ET7Kj6EqDgjFZd4iAciwGLHjkfVB8tRpD=-3xugx...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I have seen this before and frankly it is simply poppycock to use a nice word.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
The anime argument was not as you describe it. It was current' . A study by a Japanese professor in 2009 claimed that the more films that was downoaded illegally, the more would sell because they were sampled . This study was then widely used to justify illegal downloads of any and all films claiming they were good for sales To add to the fun, most sites described the study as thorough and supported by both the government and the trade industry which was blatantly false. Ask any film distributor how helpful illegal downloads are to sales and in particular ask how likely it will be that titles not available in the US will be acquired or new copies of films will remastered if copies are widely available illegally? The we are just helping the film is the single most bogus argument these thieves both individual and academic have. It is bad enough to steal copyrighted material, but it takes real chutzpah to tell the rights holder you are really doing him/her a favor and sales will increase because they stole your work.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
The anime example is regarded as true. Companies did not release anime in US and a thriving (and passionate) audience traded dupes, fansubs and fandubs at conventions and online until their number could not be ignored, and it is now a $4 billion industry. Not everyone steals everything always. When did the legitimate release of anime begin in the U.S. market? We were offered some anime titles in 1992 but were too tredpidatious (ie-- chicken) to offer them to our public library market because of concerns about cartoon character nudity. But regardless of when anime was released on the American market, the situation Roger describes--fans trading recordings among themselves--also grew up in pop music with the Deadheads more or less leading the way. But early hip-hop recordings were distributed the same way as well as Black Metal, jam band, and other one-time non-mainstream genres. Not everyone steals everything always, but just about anything popular that's not nailed down will be stolen. What this story really foretells, with music rights further fragmented away from music labels, is the final nail in their coffin. They can't even release remastered greatest hits anymore. Crap.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
or if this goes to trial and the case goes against the record companies, do we see an all out blitz of remastered greatest hits packages as the record companies try to make as much money off the stuff before it belongs to the artists, thus denying the artist much of a market. Because as I read this, 2013 is the earliest the first batch of artists can get a hold of their stuff. I can see the record companies going out of their way to scorch the earth and cover it in lye if this goes against them. So on one hand it will be great that these artists will have some of the fruits of their labors, but they ain't gonna make any money off 'em for the foreseeable future.

Re: [Videolib] videolib Digest, Vol 45, Issue 66
Hi Meghann: We may be able to help you out as well. We are now releasing /Music By Prudence/, which just won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short last year. * Music by Prudence tells a self-empowering story of one young woman's struggle who, together with her band, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds and, in her own voice conveys to the world that 'disability does not mean inability.' Zimbabwean singer-songwriter Prudence Mabhena was born severely disabled. The society she was born into considers disabilities to carry the taint of witchcraft.^http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_by_Prudence#cite_note-SFBayView-0 Because of this, many disabled children are abandoned. But Prudence and the seven young members of the band she has formed called Liyana, all disabled, have managed to overcome stereotypes and inspire the same people that once saw them as a curse. * Happy to provide you with any more information you may need. Please contact me off list. Thank you.
