Thanks for the info. Amazing that this aspect did not get mentioned here (at least I cannot recall any single instance) when sales of works of art received media coverage. I think I found a link to the European law: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32001L0084 Not easy to see offhand how this could be made to apply to sound recordings, though. Not least of all because even the pressing runs of jazz LPs make these "mass goods" compared to the works of art covered by the directive.

Not a court ruling, but law. There are 90 countries that have artist’s resale right legislation guaranteeing artists will earn a share from the resale of their work, including European Union countries, but not the US of A. Canada talks about it a lot, but no law yet.

Not specifically. But - quote: "it's not like artworks in which -- and this is a fairly recent development -- estates or artists can make claims on a percentage of sales via auction houses." To me this reads like there must have been a stipulation or ruling somewhere that opens up this course of action, isn't it?

I just checked his website again. It's available and I ordered it. They must have received a LOT of requests.

I am following MLB daily, if not watching with any regularity. Yet. Brewers are making me happy though!

Remember how The Rhythm & Blues Foundation mounted legal actions that resulted in some of the 50s greats getting paid respectable amounts for unpaid back royalties? But it seems like that would be apples and pears to compare crooked record companies and bad faith contracts to shrewd art buyers/investors, no? Unless, again, there was something in the original terms of sale. Maybe those guys need a union.

Unfortunately I did watch it.

Unless I missed it, I didn’t see Clifford mention a specific lawsuit.

Seed Of The Sacred Fig - 2 hrs. 45 min., but worth it.

Apparently nobody watching MLB. Brewers sweep Mets. Now 29 games above .500.

I heard of a different angle of the dangle, in a context that is entirely inappropriate. (Green smilie here)
