Requests For Tracks On Official Cds ?


Mike

Recommended Posts

people asking for tracks available on official released cds via forum

site policy is no boot cds or dvds advertised

never had no hard and fast rule on track requests and swapping

usually just kept a eye on it with a shout given if over the top

am in process of redefining whole sound set up and sound policy on site

any thoughts/views on it all ?

Hi Mike

Have you checked here www.riaa.com?

A woman had to pay the equivalent of £12700 for down-loading and sharing copyrighted stuff. She said she downloaded / shared the tracks and would have bought it later if she had liked it. However, the judge said "a downloaded song kept on the hard disk was viewed as a direct substitute for a purchased copy"!

Theoretically, if someone was to send some other memember a copywritten sound file, would SS be the equivelent of Naspter etc?

Simon,

my own view would be to the "napster" q no, think the key in this case is fact the pm system is just a general tool, could compare the pm system to online normal email and the such, now if it was a tool designed to do it then maybe a different story

whole legal issue, is something that dug deep into in and plays a part in the revision of sound features

I guess it will only be a problem with a current released item, some of the items for download are totally unknows to some of us. :wicked:

agree with the napster bit Mike as no central server and no software needed to download/upload...like you say comparable to e-mail.

Maybe idea not to post anything that is on official release or if rarity in the case of Stevie Z's acetate?

Hi Mike

You're right, just didn't want to think you'd get done. Now that you can't download tracks and it's 'streaming', I think you've no problems. Must say, I think the set up is the dog's b's by the way!

If it wernt for sites like this and others most of the tunes would not be heard by any one its just lawers trying to make big bucks , How can anybody own the rights to a song, Its wrote recorded, and relaesed if it sells it makes money if it dosent the record co make a loss a hit cost the same as a miss, If i copy a record or CD and want to listern to it How am I robing any one the copy ive been copying has been paid for by someone at some point and the artist has got there royalites from that transaction if we take this to vinyl if i pay 200 quid for a used record should i then send some money to the artist who recorded it , NO

If I walk down the street singing it is that an unlicesend public performance. The Lawers would say yes

The worlds gone mad Mad I Say :wicked:

You wouldn't believe the law and music, if you purchase a brand new CD, and play it to the Mrs, technically you could be breaking the law. If you happen to pass someone house and can hear them playing music then again technically the law is being broken, because you've heard some music that you haven't purchased and the person playing it hasn't paid for you to listen to it. The music laws are insane, the internet was supposed to break big corporate business, but governments like big corporates so they make laws to suit. whistling.gifwhistling.gif

I agree here.

My stand on "copyrighted music" has changed as I researched it to the nth degree when setting up The Hitsville website. My aim was was to remain faithful to the spirit of the artist and their product. It proved damn near impossible. It's a real quagmire. Talk to ten "professionals" and you get 10 different answers. For instance:

If music is "played from a website" is it classed as "broadcasted"? WHOLE new messy ballgame opens up.

If you are "promoting" music by making already released and then deleted tracks available for free are you categorised the same as someone who is selling downloads of Eminem?

If the music you post on your site is no longer commercially available, is this the same as posting available music?

If you have (as one site has) pre-recorded CDs actually served up on a server for anyone to download and then save/play at liesure are you actually damaging the genuinely produced CDs and jeopardising any future music from being produced by said CD company? THIS IS THE REAL TOUGHIE IN MY OPINION

If you pay ascap/bmi fees for broadcasted music, are you eligible to play "recorded" music?

The conclusion I came to is......I'm gonna do what I THINK is right and proper. There is NO definitive common sense answer. The licensing bodies just make it damn near impossible financially to produce any music related sites without bankrupting you. I pay the fees that I FEEL are relevant. I also contact the artists of music on the site if possible and the ones I've spoken to are happy for us to "promote" their songs that they thought had been long passed over. If it's good enough for them...it's good enough for me.

It's obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that sites like this promote the music, in a very positive way and I'm sure Mike, as a bloke with common sense will arrive at the conclusion that suits his, and therefore the sites, aspirations.

Hi Chalky.Unfortunately some people,NOT necessarily on here will abuse the chance to copy/boot acetate a particular tune that they would like to own WITHOUT paying the going rate.

Wane Harrel is a "snippet" of the tune so I'm ok with that.I am also the first person to want to hear something I do not know.......THEN I will try my best to obtain the record on original .

I now only do "snippet" tapes( not moved into the 21st century yet).If someone sent me a "snippet" tape etc

I would not be offended but totally understand why.

Official releases,on CD etc I have bought for my personal use at home....Millionaires etc...I have a few originals that are on them......but cannot obtain/afford to own them all at the same time. :lol:

I know there are legal issues........I am just a collector who believes in collecting in the way I do.

Gonna ask a big name DJ to lend me their best 50 records so that I can acetate them to play out :thumbsup::lol: ATB Stevie
