Exactly. Step one: Win the contest Step two: Run the contract - and there will be one - past an entertainment lawyer pointing out concerns about rights, ownership and 'in perpetuity'. The lawyer will bring in a Copyright attorney to clarify if not qualified to practice Copyright law. The attorney wi...

>To tell you the truth, once I thought about dropping SGAE and going to ASCAP or BMI... they seem to be a bit more effective or more organized, but that may be just my own bias.< I don't know how you go about making that work beyond certain basics: The American PROs collect the monies from American ...

DP 5.1.3 runs quite well in Leopard 10.5.8 on a PPC G5. 4.6.1 will work great in OS 10.4.11 >I have never tried Leopard on my G5 and probably never will as I suspect Leo is is designed more for Intel Macs.< Time Machine. End of argument. It is OK that Leopard will be the last version for PPCs. It's ...

Q: Why doesn't Apple set all Macs up this way... A: Because, for the average user, it is not necessary. In any case, for many of us (myself included) it's a good idea to have a small partition on a backup drive (ideally) or the main drive for running repair/maintenance utilities. Disk Warrior once a...

Does anyone have or know about Commercial General Liability Insurance for performing musicians? I've run into this twice on contracts for providing live music for the city or state. It is the responsibility of the producer. If someone else is hiring you then you aren't the producer. If the band als...

... and the first thing the defendant will do is cease and desist - thereby getting you nothing in terms of royalties and making you know as a litigant who doesn't play by the rules. Suggestion: don't bother with the contest in the first place. No, no, no! ... You get the attorney involved after yo...

From your link: >To prove copyright infringement, a plaintiff must establish (1) ownership of a valid copyright; (2) factual copying; and (3) substantial similarity< I am not going to play amateur attorney here and I suggest that you follow my example. There are many cases of Copyright infringement ...

A G5 running 10.4x should be able to run Classic. It will not boot into OS 9. DP has a module for notation based on Mosaic but, to my knowledge, cannot open Mosaic files. How wrong is that? That MOTU never partnered with another company to allow something else to open those files is ... typical of M...

Maybe he's charging what they're worth?

OK, cheap shot, I know but I just couldn't resist.

My first thought when hearing some of the comparisons on youtube like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ofFw9DKu_I&feature=related was - damn straight - nailed. Apparently video already pulled due to copyright claim by EMI Music. :( Not sure how they can do that - it is snippets - not th...

>To win a lawsuit Satriani must prove that Coldplay had access (actually heard) his song.<

That hasn't been true for many years.

If you have an MTP, why are you using the MIDI port on your UltraLite? Try using the MTP only for MIDI and see if you can get it working that way. Not knowing the Yamaha, that's the best I can offer.

Yea... MOTU does some really stupid things regarding customer service. I can only see the 5 and 6 upgrades when I log in and I have been a customer since 2.1.

>Tech tool never reports memory problems....< That is the only thing that I have ever found it useful for. >Tech Tool pro has a ram test that I can run from 1 minute to 90 min so i will start there...< Good place to start. If your machine crashes during the test, remove some of the RAM and run again

>except where prohibited by law.< Not being a lawyer, I will not comment exceot to say that a Copyright attorney should have no problem seeing that many of the terms of the agreement are prohibited by the Copyright law. Even if they were to control your mechanical rights, you would still be entitled...
