If Your'e Tweeting This, It's Too Late If You’re Tweeting This, It’s Too Late:1 The Unauthorized Use of Lyrics in 140 Characters or Less By Alfred Ashu, Loyola University New Orleans College of Law I. INTRODUCTION Music sales may be down overall, but music consumption continues to see growth.2 One apparent by-product of this growth in consumption has been an increased interest and value in the lyrical element of musical compositions. For instance, RapGenius.com, an interactive website which allows its users to annotate lyrics from popular songs, amassed approximately $40 million in investments and as many as 35 million unique monthly visitors in 2014.3 During that same year, many recording artists adopted the trend of creating animated “lyric videos” to accompany their sound recordings on YouTube. These “lyric videos” have become so popular that they accounted for over half a billion of YouTube’s views in the year 20144 and MTV has even carved out a “Best Lyric Video” category for its annual Video Music Awards.5 Even in the world of advertising, many corporations have long recognized a value in licensing popular musical compositions to help present their product as “cool” to younger audiences. For decades, corporate brands have been willing to pay celebrity musicians millions of dollars to endorse a product by licensing their hit song for commercial use or creating a special “product friendly” rendition of a hit song previously released by the artist.6 For example, in 2013, the rapper Nelly collaborated with the cereal brand Cheerios® and created a special 1 DRAKE, IF YOU’RE READING THIS IT’S TOO LATE (Cash Money Records 2015). 2 Zack O’Malley Greenburg, Digital Music Sales Drop for First Time as Streaming Soars, FORBES (Jan. 9, 2014), http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2014/01/09/digital-music-sales-drop-for-first-time-as- streaming-soars/. 3 Nicholas Carlson, The Inside Story of how Rap Genius Fired a Cofounder—and Just Raised $40 Million (annotated!), BUS.

When Jackson suggested using his song “Billie Jean” as the jingle (with the rewritten chorus, “You’re the Pepsi generation/Guzzle down and taste the thrill of the day/And feel the Pepsi way”), Pepsi was sold.”). rendition of his 2001 hit song “Ride Wit Me.” The “product friendly” rendition featured the same melody and cadence as the original, but with different lyrics promoting the cereal brand and changing the most memorable lyric from “hey, must be the money” to “hey, must be the honey.”7 Even independent of any acoustic accompaniment, some companies will pay to license the right to merely quote the lyrics of a musical composition in association with their products. In 2015, Sprite® launched its “Obey Your Verse” campaign which prominently displayed portions of lyrics from musicians, such as The Notorious B.I.G, Drake, Nas and Rakim on the cans of their beverages.8 Due to the popularity and widespread use of social media, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have become popular platforms for corporate brands to advertise their products and drive sales.9 However, with the use of social media as an advertising platform, it appears that some brands are now bypassing the process of obtaining licenses and consent from musicians or their music publishers to use their works in connection with promoting their products. Most egregiously, on Twitter, corporate brands include elements of popular songs within their tweets to promote their products. The lyrical compositions of popular artists such as Jay Z, Rihanna, Iggy Azalea, Drake, 50 Cent and many others have either been strongly alluded to or copied almost verbatim in tweets from the accounts of corporate brands.10 This note will illustrate examples of this problem, outline the statutory law governing copyrighted song lyrics, argue that the use of lyrics on Twitter is infringement and suggest a potential remedy. II. EXAMPLES OF THE PROBLEM Just how similar are these tweets to copyrighted lyrics? Examine the following tweets taken from the Twitter accounts of corporate brands and note the striking similarity to the copyrighted works: Artist (Song) Original Lyric Tweet Brand Jay-Z “If you’re having girl “If you’re having meat Tweeted by Arby’s (“99 Problems”) problems, I feel bad problems, I feel bad for (@Arby’s) on May for you son.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond.

    ARTICLE ADAPTING COPYRIGHT FOR THE MASHUP GENERATION PETER S. MENELL† Growing out of the rap and hip hop genres as well as advances in digital editing tools, music mashups have emerged as a defining genre for post-Napster generations. Yet the uncertain contours of copyright liability as well as prohibitive transaction costs have pushed this genre underground, stunting its development, limiting remix artists’ commercial channels, depriving sampled artists of fair compensation, and further alienating netizens and new artists from the copyright system. In the real world of transaction costs, subjective legal standards, and market power, no solution to the mashup problem will achieve perfection across all dimensions. The appropriate inquiry is whether an allocation mechanism achieves the best overall resolution of the trade-offs among authors’ rights, cumulative creativity, freedom of expression, and overall functioning of the copyright system. By adapting the long-standing cover license for the mashup genre, Congress can support a charismatic new genre while affording fairer compensation to owners of sampled works, engaging the next generations, and channeling disaffected music fans into authorized markets.

Since 2011, the Writing Program conducted travel-based exchanges in partnership with the Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig in Leipzig, Germany; the Scuola Holden in Turin, Italy; the Institut Ramon Llull and Universitat Pompeu Fabra–IDEC in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain); the Columbia Global Center | Middle East in Amman, Jordan; Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.; and the University of the Arts Helsinki in Helsinki, Finland. Starting in 2016, the Word for Word program expanded to include a collaborative translation workshop running parallel to the exchanges, in which Writing Program students, over the course of one semester, translate work by their partners at some of these same institutions – the Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig and Scuola Holden–as well as some new ones: Université Paris 8 in Paris, France; New York University’s Creative Writing in Spanish MFA Program; and the Instituto Vera Cruz in São Paulo, Brazil.

    TAKING CHARGE OF WHAT YOU CAN: A COVID-19 TOOLKIT COMMUNITY ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH - SUNRIDGE Date Issued: 04/01/2020 Prepared by Vanessa Chong, Ph.D., R, Psych. Contributors Karen Lane, RN Erin Moss, Ph.D., R. Psych. Artwork Marla Wirasinghe (cover page, pgs. 1-2) COVID-19 TOOLKIT 1 A World in Crisis The Covid-19 epidemic has drastically changed the way we live, work, and connect each other in a very short period of time. As a world, we are experiencing a collective crisis, the likes of which most of us have never encountered. Right now it is NORMAL to be experiencing a whole host of emotions, including anxiety, anger, sadness, and uncertainty. Our minds and our bodies are closely connected, so it is also likely that you are losing sleep and experiencing other physical symptoms, such as muscle tension, aches and pains, headaches, and low energy. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! On one hand, this means that everyone in the world is going through a really awful time. That sucks! But this also means that we will get through this together, by collaborating, connecting, and supporting one another. As a species, humans are really good at overcoming adversity. How Will This Toolkit Help? We all need to find a sense of control right now. This toolkit is designed to help you focus on the parts of your life that you can take charge of and stop spending energy on the things you cannot control. The Anxiety Onion You can think of anxiety as an onion.
