one of my main concerns when it comes to stuff out of print, are the COWS' records and a bunch of stuff from Jus Broadrick & K-Martin (Ice, God and Final to name a few). i got nothing further... - k ericksna@umich.edu wrote: As a good opportunity to get some more verified information on this whole universal thing, I though that I would mention that I am in my second year of law school here at the University of Michigan, and the head attorney for Universal will be speaking in my copyright class this coming monday. If anyone has any particular questions that they would like to have me pose, I can always do my best to do so. Also, as just a general inquiry, I know that there is a tremendous amount of music out there that has fallen out of print. It seems to me that if there is a productive use for peer to peer technology for the labels (major or indie), it would be to utilize an apple i-tune like service to capture the value of out of print catalogues. For a lot of these sources, there is a definite demand for the product (albeit limited in some, if not most instances-obviously out of print for a reason), but the labels are not interested in keeping it in print due to the cost and the lack of return on their investment. It seems to me that this would be a fairly cost effective way for labels to capture this value while preventing things form falling out of print. Comments, concerns? Anyone have any data on the amount of material currently out of print and tied up by major label work for hire status? _______________________________________________ zorn-list mailing list zorn-list@mailman.xmission.com To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, go to the webpage below http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
