Hello list members: this is a warning The copyright infringement coming from the "most lawful" country mostly (sorry, this is the reality) is unbearable anymore. People (enthusiasts, perhaps, or just naseweiss people) steal videos from any source including home pages of artists (it happen with my own videos) & send them up to YouTube. They have zero respect for the belongings of other people, they take (electronic) hands on other peoples propriety. They might get permission if asking. But they just act without using their brain. Or has the understanding of personal rights sunk so bottomless deep ? In your country, where even every word is weighted for good or bad ? What happen ? Why does this happen ? Is the society (and I speak here for our European society also) so weak in the understandings of the basic rights of the individuals on the one side when it goes about ones own self-realization, but 180 degrees different when it goes about ones own rights ?
Anyway, as informative such videos might be, they are contraproductive as are all these sites providing copyright free music for free. This will lead to a complete collapse of the real productions (recorded music, printed music, recorded video) & thus to a artistic desert, where just the main things will be available with no informations and material about the less good sellers. We are on the best way to such a desert (not dessert !!). Copyright infringement & violation of personal rights (read: rights of the performers) should be taken to court. The fines & compensations be as in the past in the six-digit numbers & higher. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
