  • Views, We Study How Preregistration Has Been Used from Its 2005 Inception to the End of 2012
    COPYRIGHT PREREGISTRATION: EVIDENCE AND LESSONS FROM THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS, 2005–2012 * ** Dotan Oliar & Nicholas Matich In 2005 Congress created a new copyright formality: preregistration. Preregistration addresses a growing phenomenon in which copyrighted works are leaked to the Internet prior to official release. Preregistering a work allows copyright owners immediate access to courts and an expanded menu of remedies. Based on an originally constructed dataset coupled with user interviews, we study how preregistration has been used from its 2005 inception to the end of 2012. Over 6,000 works have been preregistered in six eligible categories. Several lawsuits were filed in reliance on preregistrations. Most preregistrations are of motion pictures and literary works. Substantial commercial use of the system has been limited to the movie and TV industries. The music, publishing, and computer software industries virtually have not used it in the ordinary course of business. A few particular users have preregistered a great number of works. Different from the use anticipated by Congress, preregistrations were often obtained after infringement (or even a business dispute) had already started. Most preregistrations were made by individual, small-entity, or other one-time users. The Article recommends that: (1) the duration of preregistrations should be limited; and (2) preregistration (and other copyright) fees should vary with entity size. It offers lessons for formalities and copyright reform: (1) Digital-age formalities may not give rise to the distributional concerns that characterized old formalities; (2) newly minted formalities may limit, rather than expand, access to expressive works; (3) the rates of subsequent registration of preregistered works vary across categories and can inform copyright lawmaking; and (4) the Copyright Office’s views may be affected by its institutional interest.

  • Tori Amos on Listening to Your Muses
    August 21, 2017 - Tori Amos is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, and composer. She is a classically trained musician who has released 15 solo records over the past 25 years. Her most recent album, Native Invader, is set for release on September 8th. In describing the impetus behind it, Amos says, "We have to out-create the destructiveness that is all around us." As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2213 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration, Process, Independence, Success, Identity. Tori Amos on listening to your muses You’ve always spoken openly about your songwriting process. As someone who seems receptive to whatever energy’s floating around out in the atmosphere, how has it been to write and record songs over the past year when the world feels particularly crazy? Intention is something that has come up a lot in the last year or so. I took a road trip in June of last year and part of what I got out of that was the question, “What is your intention?” I really sat with that for many days. I said to the universe, “Well, I’m open. I need to be guided and directed. Tell me.” That’s a very different place to be, creatively speaking, than when you’re on a cycle of putting out records, particularly when you’re in the pop music hamster wheel and you’re trapped in the album/touring cycle. Not everybody chose to keep up with that cycle. Some artists I knew would release a record every four or five years, but I was every other year with a tour in between.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
