  • Adjudication No: 29 /A/2013 Programme Name: Song Lyrics
    ADJUDICATION NO: 29 /A/2013 PROGRAMME NAME: SONG LYRICS – BLURRED LINES DATE OF BROADCAST: 5 NOVEMBER AT 15:18. BROADCASTER: RSG COMPLAINANT: LOTTERING COMPLAINT Lyrics of song promote sexual violence against women. APPLICABLE RULES 4 (1) Broadcasting service licensees must not broadcast material which, judged within context, sanctions, promotes or glamorises violence or unlawful conduct based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or mental or physical disability. 4 (2) Broadcasting service licensees must not broadcast material which, judged within context, amounts to (a) propaganda for war; (b) incitement of imminent violence or (c) the advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, religion or gender and that constitutes incitement to cause harm. 5 Exclusions: Clause 4 does not apply to: (1) a broadcast which, judged within context, amounts to a bona fide scientific, documentary, dramatic, artistic or religious broadcast. ADJUDICATION [1] The Registrar received a complaint regarding song lyrics that allegedly promote sexual violence against women. [2] The complaint reads as follows: “I am an English speaking listener and listen to your program most afternoons. On the whole, I find the content very good and enjoy most of the music. I notice that the song "Blurred Lines" has become quite a favourite on the program and realise that the riff and rhythm are very "catchy". I wonder, though, whether you and the people who select the music at RSG have actually listened to, or read the words. I am sending them to you, anyway. The "Rape-culture" lingo is very clear and needs no explanation.

  • Blurred Lines” of Copyright
    Case Study “Blurred Lines” of Copyright In 2013, Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams co-produced the run-away hit single “Blurred Lines,” earning them over $16 million in sales and streaming revenues. The music video has been viewed hundreds of millions of times on YouTube and Vevo, and has been parodied numerous times as well. Despite its popularity, the similarity of “Blurred Lines” to Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit song “Got to Give It Up” sparked controversy. The family of artist Marvin Gaye was outraged; they believed Gaye’s work was stolen. Thicke filed a preemptive lawsuit to prevent the Gaye family from claiming any share of royalties. However, Thicke also stated in public interviews that he was influenced by Marvin Gaye and, specifically, “Got to Give It Up” when he co-composed “Blurred Lines” with Williams. In response, the Gaye family sued Williams and Thicke. Contradictions were apparent in Thicke’s account. In an interview with GQ, he stated that he co-wrote “Blurred Lines.” But in court he claimed that he was too high in the studio, and that Williams had in fact composed the song, and he had lied earlier in order to get credit. Williams claimed that, although Gaye’s music had influenced him in his youth, he did not copy Gaye’s song in his composition. In March 2015, the jury ruled in favor of the Gaye estate, stating that while Williams and Thicke did not directly copy “Got to Give It Up,” there was enough of a similar “feel” to warrant copyright infringement. Gaye’s heirs were awarded $7.4 million in damages, the largest amount ever granted in a music copyright case.

  • Song List for Your Review
    west coast music Everyday People Please find attached the ‘Everyday People’ song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES: Please note that we will need to have your special dance requests, (i.e. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, etc) FOUR WEEKS prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and so that we have time to locate sheet music and audio. In cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is needed, this gives us time to properly prepare the music. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. If you desire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we would ask for a minimum 80 requests. ‘LOW ROTATION REQUESTS: We will also need any General Requests that are chosen from the ‘Low Rotation’ portion of this song list (pages 8-9) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event. The songs from the ‘Low Rotation’ section are not in the active Everyday People song rotation, so the band would need the extra time to prepare them MODERN/TOP 40 24k Magic – Bruno Mars Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen A Thousand Years – Christina Perri Call You Girlfriend - Robyn Adorn – Miguel Can’t Feel My Face – The Weeknd Ascension – Maxwell Can’t Hold
