  • Investing in Music How Music Companies Discover, Nurture and Promote Talent
    Investing in MusiC How music companies discover, nurture and promote talent Investing In Music 2012 contents 1 Introduction by Plácido Domingo 2 Commentary by Frances Moore and Alison Wenham 3 Section One: The Cycle of Investment 4 Section Two: Dicovering and Signing Talent 16 Section Three: Nurturing Talent 18 Section 4: Promoting Talent 3 2012 Investing In Music introduction by Plácido Domingo, Chairman of IFPI Other collaborations are also possible, for example between the artist and a management company. But all these efforts to promote music depend on the protection of the copyrights and intellectual property of the musicians and the producers of the music. Without such protection, investment will not be forthcoming. Collaboration and investment are defining qualities of the music industry and play a vital role in helping artists pursue their career. Of course, the digital era has brought dramatic changes, but I do not believe it has made the investors in music any less important. Even in the age of the internet, where self-publishing is so much easier for artists than in the past, technology alone I am fortunate to have had a career of more than 50 years in cannot ensure an artist’s work is heard and appreciated. music. I have worked with people of exceptional artistic talent That is why artists continue to work in partnership with record and I continue to work today to try and help young musicians companies, management and others to develop their careers fulfil their ambitions and creative potential as opera singers. and bring their music to the widest possible audience.

  • HERBERT ST. CLAIRE CRICHLOW, Plaintiff, V. WARNER MUSIC
    Case 1:07-cv-01622-HHK Document 17 Filed 07/07/08 Page 1 of 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA HERBERT ST. CLAIRE CRICHLOW, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action 07-01622 (HHK) WARNER MUSIC GROUP CORP., Defendant. MEMORANDUM OPINION Herbert St. Claire Crichlow (“Crichlow”) brings this action against Warner Music Group Corp. (“Warner”) contending that he is owed royalties for songs that he wrote. Warner moves to dismiss Crichlow’s action on several grounds [#4]. Upon consideration of the motion, the opposition thereto, and the record of this case, the court concludes that Warner’s motion must be granted because this court is unable to exercise personal jurisdiction over Warner. I. BACKGROUND Crichlow, a songwriter and resident of Sweden, signed two music publishing agreements with subsidiaries of Warner. Crichlow and a company named Megasong Publishing A/S (“Megasong”) entered into a music publishing agreement (the “Megasong Agreement”). Megasong was subsequently acquired by Warner/Chappell Music Denmark A/S, which is in turn owned by Warner/Chappell Music Scandinavia AB. Warner/Chappell Music Scandinavia AB is in turn owned by Warner Bros. Music International, Inc., which is owned by Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. is owned by Warner via two non-operating holding companies. Thus, Warner is separated from Megasong by approximately seven corporate levels. Case 1:07-cv-01622-HHK Document 17 Filed 07/07/08 Page 2 of 6 Acting on behalf of A Lemon Groove AB (“Lemon Groove”), Crichlow entered into another music publishing agreement (“Artemis Agreement”) with Muziekuitgeverij Artemis BV.

  • Finding Missing Ancestors in Institutional Records, Part I: Hospitals, Asylums and Sanitariums”
    “Finding Missing Ancestors in Institutional Records, Part I: Hospitals, Asylums and Sanitariums” Madeline Yanov 18 October 2019 I. HOSPITALS 1. General information: • A hospital is a healthcare institution providing treatment with specialized nursing and medical staff and medical equipment. • Term also used for sanitoriums or asylums for the mentally ill • “State hospitals” – euphemism for “mental hospitals” or “insane asylums” 2. History of American Hospitals • Births, deaths and illnesses mostly occurred at home • Concept emerged from almshouses, providing care for the ailing poor • First hospital co-founded by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1751 • Modern concept of hospital emerges after the Civil War • Historically run by religious or charitable organizations 3. HIPPA • Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act – 1996 o Access to own medical records o Permission needed to view your records o Upon death – records sealed forever • Revised in 2013 o Other restrictions from 1996 Act still apply except o Limits period of protection of deceased to 50 years after death • Even though you meet federal guidelines you STILL have to satisfy State and Local Laws. 4. How to find out if hospital records are available • No law says how long records must be kept - old records are often destroyed • If hospital doesn’t exist, check state libraries, archives, and local genealogical societies • If hospital exists – check website and catalog for digitized records. If there are no digitized records, then you or a representative has to go in person • State and hospital rules determine WHO gets access to records 5. Other records containing medical information • Death certificates • Cemetery and burial records • Court records • Newspaper articles • National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers – precursor to VA hospital.
