  • My Week with Metallica by Marcus Teague November
    My Week With Metallica By Marcus Teague November 2010 "Marcus”, he drawls. “How'd you get so cool? You’re tall, you’re an awesome writer…” Lars Ulrich's voice trails off from the back seat of the limo cab. It's 4am, we've left the Metallica End of Tour party and we're on our way to notorious Melbourne rock dive bar Cherry, for reasons absolutely more to do with drunken bravado than common sense. I don’t know." I don't know", I say. "It's probably similar to being in one of the biggest bands in the world". Zipping through the cold, empty streets of Melbourne, we arrive outside Cherry and wobble down AC/DC lane. Lars holds his hand out for a stamp like the rest of us and we file into the tiny, dimly lit backroom. Half-populated by Metallica crew and support band members, the other half reedy, faux rock types and their platinum blonde partners, a gaggle soon forms around the drummer. I stand back with the rest of us; Steffan Chirazi, editor of the Metallica fan club magazine So What!, Barbara, Lars' PA and Allen Bickle, drummer from support band Baroness. A glance into the front bar reveals a vision of torn denim jackets and skinny jeans, dancing and posing to the kind of music being made by the people in the back. Returning, I find Lars has poured my drink into his own glass. OK then. This is the lay of the land. Exactly a week prior I had received a call from Lars Ulrich on my mobile.

The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

    COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ANALYSIS IN MUSIC: KATY PERRY A “DARK HORSE” CANDIDATE TO SPARK CHANGE? Edward M. Christian* ABSTRACT The music industry is at a crossroad. Initial copyright infringement judgments against artists like Katy Perry and Robin Thicke threaten millions of dollars in damages, with the songs at issue sharing only very basic musical similarities or sometimes no similarities at all other than the “feel” of the song. The Second Circuit’s “Lay Listener” test and the Ninth Circuit’s “Total Concept and Feel” test have emerged as the dominating analyses used to determine the similarity between songs, but each have their flaws. I present a new test—a test I call the “Holistic Sliding Scale” test—to better provide for commonsense solutions to these cases so that artists will more confidently be able to write songs stemming from their influences without fear of erroneous lawsuits, while simultaneously being able to ensure that their original works will be adequately protected from instances of true copying. * J.D. Candidate, Rutgers Law School, January 2021. I would like to thank my advisor, Professor John Kettle, for sparking my interest in intellectual property law and for his feedback and guidance while I wrote this Note, and my Senior Notes & Comments Editor, Ernesto Claeyssen, for his suggestions during the drafting process. I would also like to thank my parents and sister for their unending support in all of my endeavors, and my fiancée for her constant love, understanding, and encouragement while I juggled writing this Note, working full time, and attending night classes. 265 266 RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW [Vol.
