I see a lot of you people are sharing your music online; and that's great, but aren't you worried that someone might steal it? What would happen if someone did, and published it under their name and got a record contract? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always wonder that but I think the answer is something about the masters |
||||||||
|
|

|
They would be quite surprised to find out about my copyrights. That and i would sick my killer attack anteater after them. Enemies lurk everywhere! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
seriouly. what case would you have if someone snagged your tracks, got a record deal and then released it as their music. Would you have any rights at all? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You'd have plenty of rights as long as you could prove that you originally made it. To replicate a track completely in a program is nigh on impossible. I make my tracks in Reason. To copy that track from an MP3 into Reason would be a very hard task. Easily explainable to a court. I think you're pretty safe to a certain extent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true that. Another example would be if you use Acid Pro you could easily prove it aswell! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
copyright, legally, is automatic from the moment you put it your creative work in a fixed or tangible form. of course, registering (paying) for official copyright is much safer though. |
||||||||

i was on slsk and after finishing d/ling a track from someone, immediately he started to d/l the same track from me. i asked him exactly what he was doing and he said "i'm taking it back" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahah!!! are you serious? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I guess you're allright if you have the raw file - the source.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with mp3.com.au, it will ask you if youre a member of apra, which protects australian artists rights. not that im a member :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, how can you copyright protect your material legally? I mean, it's not enough to place copyright © 2003 on your page is it? Or is that legally binding? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn i hoped this was about shaving your pubes online |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youre entitled to put 'copyright' yourself, anytime however you wont have legal backing unless you join a local organisation.. such as apra |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i decided i'm not going to put anymore of my music online |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wont be stopping anytime soon :] got about 70+ tracks up.. and thats not including gate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i decided this a couple days ago it has nothing to do with copyright. i just deleted all my files too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
an old trick to do if you are unable to register the copyright officially is to package up whatever you are copyrighting and mail it to yourself, preferably registered mail. Once you get it, never open it and put it away somewhere safe. If anything were to come up you would have the postmark as proof you made it before the date it was postmarked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats brilliant :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll keep that in mind :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should sign up to apra rockenjohny. i get a check every year for around $80 for royaltys. not because of mp3.com.au, but apra will pay you when you play gigs, get air play, or release your work to the public. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that right? ill look into it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm tired of people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get untired |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that use to be the case but its not legally binding any more. I think being a member of something like apra is probably the easiest, i think its free to join too. Tho if you have created it and have the original file i don't think that is disputable, i guess if you have anything that shows you created the music before the other person did then it prooves they ripped you off, its a nasty thing butit does happen, i think i'm going to join apra. |

get yr ass on sloulseek will ya? |
||||||||

I wouldnt share my music, defenitly not the stuff im doing with my friend... because that stuff has a lot of fuckin potential and its not electronic. |

I generally oppose pictures of humans/girlfriends in a state of decomposing. I'm weird, I know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i enjoy decomposition,decapitiation, dismemberment, internal organs, bucket loads of blood mmm possibly i am the weird one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nlogax: you generally oppose them? Yeah weird is right. Just because shes my girlfriend doesnt mean you have to oppose it. manifestevil:: yes we shall both enjoy gore! |
||||||||

|
Hey, I think she's hot, but she seriously needs to take a shower or ten and maybe do some reconstructive surgery just to make sure she doesn't come apart. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
its not what you look like, but whats inside that counts:) |

I don't even wanna think about what she's got inside; if there's even anything left.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
manifestevil: sweet dood... added to my bookmarks now. nlogax: she took a shower today, unfortunatly she lost a couple toe nails and some teeth. |

i dont see how file info on your computer would be solid evidence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it couldnt be in a court of law... no way file shit on your comp would be considered true evidence. |
||||||||
|

|
|
You haven't seen a flick called have you reflex? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no probably not, but apra offers protection and mp3.com.au offers some protection too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
