music copyright
Ok, so the law are cracking down on file sharing in a big big way.
What will happen to the mp3 blog niche where I find some lovely remix gems?
Nothing. 
The blogs, forums and generally ANYWHERE on the interbutts will, for the most part, continue to provide the masses with awesome tunes… We are too big and in too large of numbers for them to eradicate ALL of us!
Yarr me hearties.
how actually looks the copyright law for using music of another poeple playing on gigs, theatre performances eventually on air? …in case is officially payed and downloaded.
Thanks.
Cheers
The industry said a while ago they are going to stop targeting individuals and focus more on the sites that host and share the content which has happened a fair amount recently ie pirate bay.
I think the method by which the media is shared will continue to change though, so it’ll never get wiped out, first it was tapes, then CD’s then napster/p2p, then torrents, now something like rapidshare, or hosted on a website. The sooner the industry accepts that sharing is here to stay but that it’s grown the better.
bbs/usenet people… it pre-dates the internet and cant be shut down.. people have been file sharing on there since day dot. how do you think the pirates of years past got all their c64 and amiga 500 software?
this. while people aren’t using it nearly as much..there’s no way that avenue could ever be shut down.
I whole-heartedly agree. I think there’s no way of shutting it down completely. We all thought it was the end of P2P when Napster got shut down, and like cockroaches, a million more P2P sites popped up.
My theory is, if you enjoy it, and especially if you make money off of it, pay for it. Torrents are great for learning, test driving etc, but at some point you should pay for it.
My main gripe with software and such, is that (like computers) it’s obsolete in only a few years, where hardware can last for a decade or more as a great piece of gear.
I know the OP was talking about music, but it’s all file sharing 
This is slightly tangential–but I would recommend watching Rip: A Remix Manifesto. It’s available for free on Hulu. More focused on remixing/sampling than file-sharing but interesting for anyone taking a look at intellectual property and music.
why?
Hi guys,
thanks for postings. I am originaly choreographer and dancer. We do not have such a issue when we quote or use another people material. Its free, if you do something new out of idea of another person, you should not steel, thats where you get into troubles - more that people are not interested in you and you are over. (Only for dramatic text you have to pay)
I want to give respect for the people musics I use - so if I use it professional to pay for it, but I do not like that some freak can come on me with paragraph, when I give name and pay for track (I am living in Austria). Also I am not good producer, but I hear, so for me at this point is all about mixing, but I hear differences, so I want to use good music.
Am I getting it right, that general tendency for profi use is to use music of good producers - with payed download and leave the playlist?
Greeting and cheers on all good music.
Blogs aren’t illegal, if you do a remix of a tune and sell it without permission then it’s illegal. If you do a remix & give it away then technically there’s not much they can do as you’re not profiting from it. I’m sure there are some form of copyright laws that someone is going to correct me on, but even if it was against the law and some skint producer does a re-edit of some track and gives it away, what are they gonna do?.. Sue them for the zero money they have made from it?
It’s more the original track being shared for free the corporations are worried about.
Definite must see, really puts the argument across well that although there should be restrictions in place, it’s gone too far, just like a lot of things nowadays.
Whats so special about the usenet groups that makes them invincible. Always wondered this?
I don’t think that they are invincible. I think that the most people use P2P sharing like bit torrent and not usenet. The RIAA is going try plug the largest leaking pipe first before they tackle the small ones, if at all. But I do remember the RIAA cracking down on smaller P2P sharing like irc back in 99. That got side tracked when bit torrent sharing came on hard.
Well done Leonardy_111 you posted 9 spam posts up to now..! Can u get to double figures?
you crack me up karlos!
Not if me and my shotgun have a say in the matter.
I like, as subtle as a baseball bat to the forehead. What type of shot would you recommend? Fine for a wide angle (+you hit a lot, -you probably wont kill any off them) or narrow (-more specific targeting, +excellent warning to the others)?
Phil.
