NEWS:
Sony BMG’s chief anti-piracy lawyer: “Copying” music you own is “stealing”

By Eric Bangeman | Published: October 02, 2007 – 09:12PM CT

Duluth, Minnesota — Testimony today in Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas quickly and inadvertently turned to the topic of fair use when Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, was called to the stand to testify. Pariser said that file-sharing is extremely damaging to the music industry and that record labels are particularly affected. In doing so, she advocated a view of copyright that would turn many honest people into thieves.
Pariser noted that music labels make no money on touring, radio, or merchandise, which leaves the company particularly exposed to the negative effects of file-sharing. “It’s my personal belief that Sony BMG is half the size now as it was in 2000,” she said, thanks to piracy. In Pariser’s view, “when people steal, when they take music without compensation, we are harmed.”

Pariser has a very broad definition of “stealing.” When questioned by Richard Gabriel, lead counsel for the record labels, Pariser suggested that what millions of music fans do is actually theft. The dirty deed? Ripping your own CDs or downloading songs you already own.

Gabriel asked if it was wrong for consumers to make copies of music which they have purchased, even just one copy. Pariser replied, “When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song.” Making “a copy” of a purchased song is just “a nice way of saying ‘steals just one copy’,” she said.

Countless studies have shown that the majority of music on portable music players like the iPod comes from sources other than download services. For most people, that music is comprised primarily of songs “ripped” from CD collections to MP3 or some other comparable format. Indeed, most portable music players comes with software (like iTunes) which is designed to facilitate the easy ripping of CDs. According to Pariser’s view, this is stealing.

We’ve actually heard something similar to this view before. As part of the 2006 triennial review of the effectiveness of the DMCA, a number of content-related industries filed a joint reply with the government on the effectiveness of the DMCA and the challenges that lay ahead for copyright. The argument relating to CDs espoused in the joint reply could be summarized: although nothing has prevented consumers from making backups of CDs, this cannot be construed as authorization from the music labels for them to do so. Thus, there has been no authorization of said backups, and the coincidental ability to make backups currently should not be mistaken for fair use.

Pariser’s views appear to be similar, insofar as she clearly suggests that consumers have no right to make backups of the music that they have purchased in CD form or even in download form.

From Bill at The Indie Music project:
They say you can never get a second chance to send an email out, but if you
received this from Justin, I apologize for the extra copy. I asked him to
forward this earlier.

See how you’re getting screwed this week!

Bios:
FONO
FONO has what the music industry is missing right now – staying power. With a repertoire of over 80 songs, features on MTV, ER, multiple Extreme Sports DVD’s from Japan to Warren Miller’s “Cold Fusion,” in Billboard’s Heatseekers, numerous songwriting awards and openings for bands from Bon Jovi to Goo Goo Dolls, from Guano Apes to Third Eye Blind and Robert Plant, FONO lives up to its title of “Best Unsigned Band” in Kerrang! Magazine.

FONO’s debut album “goesaroundcomesaround” was recorded in London with Adi Winman (Supergrass, Jamiroquai) was A listed on XFM and was a hit with Zane Lowe of MTV Europe. Indeed, FONO started off strong – playing their first show for 50,000 screaming Bon Jovi fans. After extensive U.S. and European tours, Billboard ranks them as one of the Top 6 Independent Bands in the Southwest.

Days away from completing their much anticipated follow-up EP, FONO’s studio is engulfed by the infamous California wildfires, destroying their gear and even their masters. With all the tracks for “It’s The Way That You Use It” up in flames, FONO was intent on rebuilding the album and the title track encouraged them to rise above what would end most bands, and continue to make music that not only entertains, but lifts you up. The band hooked up with Alan Sanderson (Rolling Stones, Weezer, Green Day) and started over. Bill Dooley (Madonna, Deftones) was enlisted to master the project.

Finding inspiration in the powerful New York Times photo of a man jumping from one of the World Trade Towers by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Richard Drew, Falling Man, FONO’s tune of the same name is a meditation on “what goes through your head when your best option is to jump 80 stories.” In today’s world of sound bites and ringtones, FONO has found a way to maintain imagination and music intensity while working to put together a real Album.

FONO’s new project “Too Broken To Break” is a metaphor for the current state of the music industry itself. Mixed by world renown producer Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder, Pixies, Radiohead), and mastered, once again by Bill Dooley (Madonna, Deftones), “Too Broken To Break” consists of eleven radio ready hits, cohesively sewn together and wrapped up in red duct tape. The must-have album of the year retains oft-missing optimism enmeshed with a driving rhythm section to create a big rock sound for eleven songs straight. You have to hear it to believe that each song is truly better than the next, an authentic Album by an authentic group poised to take the music world by storm – FONO, “Too Broken To Break.”
Mama’s Cookin
Mama’s Cookin’ has emerged on the scene with a sound that could only come from the modern age. Hip-hop beats and conscious lyrics melded with a solid base of rock and delta blues. The four players generate sounds completely unique to this band. Audiences across the country attest to the fact that this is dance music that inspires. Their steady rise has elicited the attention of industry watchdogs and diehard music fans alike.

The group features Zebuel Early on guitar and vocals, Todd Holway on keyboards and vocals, Steve LaBella on bass, and Mike Adamo on drums and samples. In early 2007 the band made their way to New York City to record their much anticipated third album due to release this summer. The self titled release features award-winning producers Chuck Zwicky (Prince/Jeff Beck) and Peter Nashel along with special guests Maya Azucena (Stephen Marley) and Pete Miser (Dido).

Originally from Colorado’s Gunnison Valley, Mama’s Cookin’ now resides in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Check out mamascookinmusic.com for more info.
