So let’s move on to some- NEWS EDITOR David Spiecker thing far more sinister, shall we? On March 15, the RIT administration decided to comply with the RIAA’s LEISURE EDITOR Laura Mandanas most recent and ridiculous request to forward pre-litigation letters to a number of students, all accused of FEATURES EDITOR Antonio Castillo sharing copyrighted music. SPORTS/VIEWS EDITOR Chad Carbone I, for one, am quite furious. The RIAA, in its latest attempt to harass college students, has crossed a serious WRITERS Antonio Castillo, Chad Carbone, line in civil liberty, throwing the idea of “due process” right out the window. And RIT has helped make this Casey Dehlinger, Mich Gerson, Joseph André Jacir, devilish defenestration possible. Evan McNamara, J.S. Ost, Govind Ramabadran, Alex Salsberg, Geoff Shearer, Chris Tosswill Let me take a step back and explain these how pre-litigation letters work. The RIAA sends investigators online to hunt down music pirates. At the end of the investigation, all the RIAA probably has is a few screen- Art shots of fi lenames (which may or may not be actual copyrighted works) and an IP address. They might not ART DIRECTOR Josh Gomby have hard evidence, and they certainly don’t have a name. STAFF DESIGNERS Michelle Brook, Jason Sfetko It’s next part that’s truly insidious, though.

If the ISP chooses to comply with this request, then it’s a done deal. The RIAA has a name, and Greg Caggiano, Caitlin Yarsky can start taking that poor soul to court (unless the accused agrees to settle before a lawsuit is fi led). CARTOONIST Alex Salsberg RIT is your Internet Service Provider. And they just sold you out. Photo PHOTO EDITOR Dave Londres Here’s how the system is supposed to work: The RIAA, after acquiring the IP address, needs to go before STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS Matt Bagwell, a judge and get a subpoena. (The Digital Millennium Copyright Act originally allowed the RIAA automatic Tom Schirmacher, CoCo Walters subpoenaing rights, but that overly-broad burden on the people has since been stricken from the books). Without that subpoena, the ISP is under no legal obligation to reveal the identity of its subscribers (a fact Production that the University of Wisconsin has reinforced, since they did refuse the RIAA’s request). PRODUCTION MANAGER John Carew PRINTING Printing Applications Lab RIT’s willingness to forward those letters without a subpoena allowed the RIAA to bypass the legal system, which has placed a handful of students in a very diffi cult position. After all, they’re college students—they Business probably can’t afford to pay a defense lawyer whose prowess matches up against those big-time RIAA PUBLIC RELATIONS Kayla Himelein attorneys. And, at $750 in damages per song, they certainly can’t afford to lose. Their best bet was to AD MANAGER Geo Kartheiser settle. I'm sure many of them did. BUSINESS MANAGER Akira Simizu CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE Kyle O’Neill So, assuming that those settled students are innocent (which the American legal system requires, because they haven’t been proven guilty in a court of law), they’ve each been robbed of anywhere between $1,000 Online and $5,000. ONLINE EDITOR Erhardt Graeff This is the very defi nition of extortion. Jurisprudence has been supplanted with Mob-style scare tactics. And Advisor RIT just stepped back and let it happen. Rudy Pugliese Why didn’t RIT defend these kids? Sure, we don’t know if they’re guilty, but that’s the whole point, because Contact the RIAA sure doesn’t know either.

  • BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987
    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

  • Terpsichorean Architecture: Editor's Introduction
    Terpsichorean Architecture: Editor’s Introduction Tony Mitchell, University of Technology Sydney In Peter Hoeg’s celebrated novel Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow (1992), Greenland- born Smilla says of her extraordinary ability to decipher patterns and read tracks in snow: ‘Reading snow is like listening to music. To describe what you’ve read is to try and describe music in writing’ (2005:37). Later in the book, Andreas Fine Licht, a blind Professsor of Eskimo Languages and Cultures at the Danish Institute of Eskimology, deciphers a tape recording of a native Greenlander speaking in dialect about hunting. He is also able to hear and identify in the background on the tape the jazz music of trumpeter Roy Louber, formerly of the John Coltrane quartet, in a rare live concert performance in Thule in the late 1960s (2005:134). The experience of listening to, or hearing and identifying music may, in both cases, be a complex one, but writing about it comprehensively and memorably can be even more complex and fraught with difficulties. This selection of papers comes from a Symposium held at the University of Technology Sydeny (UTS) in September 2009. The title derives from a notorious quote—now a cliché—from Elvis Costello in an interview in the British Musician magazine in 1983: ‘Writing about music is like dancing about architecture—it’s a really stupid thing to want to do’ (White 1983). It has been attributed by various people at various times to Frank Zappa, Thelonious Monk, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne and numerous others, PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • 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.
