  • A Short(Ish) Note About Music and Copyright
    NorthLight Media Limited 94 Thorpe Park Road Peterborough PE3 6LJ 07768 261276 www.northlightmedia.co.uk A short(ish) note about music and copyright NorthLight Media does not normally use copyright-protected music in videos. Most music is protected by copyright, whether it’s U2’s Beautiful Day or Air on a G String by Bach. Bach won’t be too bothered by infringements of his copyright but the owners of the recording probably are. Bono takes a dim view of his songs being used without permission. Films shown at events Occasionally, we have produced a film that is to be shown to an audience at a one-off event, such as a school open evening. The showing of the film to an audience in the school hall is covered by the school’s performance licence – the one that permits the school to hold a disco on its premises. But including a copyrighted song in the film is still an infringement of copyright because the song has been copied without permission. Using a song that the school has bought, say on CD, might be a defence, but ultimately, other copies of the song now exist so copyright has been infringed by the film producer. The school playing the film that includes music it has paid for is unlikely to be prosecuted over the event. Videos used online (YouTube, Vimeo and other websites) When a video containing copyrighted music is posted on YouTube, the YouTube system usually picks it up straight away. The person or company uploading the video will be told that copyrighted content has been detected and that the video will either be blocked, restricted or have advertisements placed on it.

  • Rewind and Fast Forward, Parts 1 Through 5 Mike Agar Published with Savage Minds, Savageminds.Org
    Rewind and Fast Forward, Parts 1 through 5 Mike Agar Published with Savage Minds, savageminds.org A couple of months ago I was having dinner with an old friend in Seattle. He stopped his fork in mid-flight and looked at me, astonished. “Microsoft hires anthropologists?” “Yes,” I answered, “They fire them too.” He’d just complained about the over-techification of his hometown, worried that the rumors of AliBaba adding to the existing digital mob were true. I had just said that “even anthropologists” were part of the new tech world. He still thought of us as collectors of quaint and curious customs of exotic people. Interesting and entertaining perhaps, but hardly relevant to the brave new digital world. It made me wonder, again, how to explain what anthropology “is.” Why did my old friend still see it only in terms of the “savage slot,” Trouillot’s phrase that describes anthropology’s traditional academic assignment. I do know that anthropology “is” something. It exists. It’s certainly the most self-conscious discipline that I know of, sometimes embarrassingly so at gatherings of diverse professions. It definitely tends to be more tied to the personal identity of its bearer than most professional labels that people use when you ask “what do you do?” Whatever it is, it has strong personal and social force. What is that force? It’s been a half-century since I took the introductory cultural course at Stanford from Bernie Siegel. I signed up because a retired stockbroker and his wife, living in a restored house among the ruins of their abandoned former hometown in the California hills, asked me a lot of questions and then told me I should take it.

  • U2 3D Talent: Bono, the Edge, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton. Directors
    U2 3D Talent: Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton. Directors: Mark Pellington and Catherine Owens Duration: 85 minutes Classification: G We rate it: 3 and a half stars. There’s no denying that Irish rock band U2 are probably still the biggest live musical act in the world, even after twenty-odd years of touring. Aside from maybe the great outdoor extravaganzas mounted during the 1970s and 80s by Pink Floyd, U2’s live gigs are renowned as dazzling, cutting-edge spectacles, as politically and ideologically provocative as they are musically engaging. Bono, the acknowledged master of making fame itself humanely useful, still struts his stuff as if he’s a 25-year- old, and the band that supports him is as skilled as rock bands get. To see this chart- topping foursome filmed playing before staggeringly large crowds in state-of-the-art digital 3D and surround sound is, admittedly, quite a spectacle. The peculiar thing, however, about sitting in a cinema and watching U2 3D is that throughout the experience, stunning as it is, one can’t help but reflect upon the fact that one is sitting in a darkened room watching film of a band playing live in front of crowds of a hundred thousand people. There’s something decidedly strange about sitting passively and observing (through the suitably nerdy polarising 3D glasses) this massive rock show, whose actual filmed audiences just don’t stop screaming and waving for a second. As one ruminatively chews one’s popcorn and sips one’s soft- drink, one can’t help but feel faintly left out, to say the least.

  • 2019 Ireland Info Sheet
    Dear Fellow Pilgrim, Come to the land of Patrick. A land that enslaved him, but which Patrick set free from her pagan ways. Stand upon the Hill of Slane and look upon the land before you. It is from that hill that the Christian story of a race starts, when, upon it, Patrick lit a paschal fire. The sparks of this fire were never to die. Instead, from those flames the Catholic faith found its way to new lands and new continents as Irish pilgrims went out sowing in tears so that you could return to sing Psalms. Walk with us among Erin’s ancient lanes, through her ruined monasteries, past the sites where long ago were fought the battles that even today still resonate. You will see the scars of more recent conflicts upon the walls of the disputed North. Of course, you will taste the hospitality of the Irish, which is legendary. Eat and drink their fine foods and even better beers from a land that knows the value of a feast. Experience the “craic” – that indefinable Irish word for “a party,” but which is so much more than just that. History, culture, food and drink, breath-taking scenery: we will make trips to islands set in the swirling Atlantic, journey through city streets as their stories are told. All of this you would expect on a trip to Ireland. But this is an Inside the Vatican experience, so it is going to be different. We are not inviting you to come on “a tour.” Instead we are inviting you to come on pilgrimage.
