It could be that there is a distinction in non US jurisdictions. However, that’s purely a guess. At any rate, I think we’re getting a far afield from the main topic.

There is no difference between the terms illegal and unlawful and I am an attorney. If an action is unlawful, it is contrary to law (statute). Similarly, if an action is illegal, it is not legal or contrary to law. Statutes don’t tell you to not commit a certain act. They define the act and prescribe a penalty if you commit that act. For example, in NY, the penal code defines what constitutes second degree murder and the penalty for committing it.

GA, using something like that on my records is not something I’d chance.

I can understand that!

which is probably not cost effective for the injured party.

There’s a thread on Hoffman about it. Posters weren’t overly complimentary although a couple of people liked it.

Unfortunately, I only know enough to be dangerous. However, if a work is in the public domain in the EU but not in the US, the copyright owner would have an action against the person infringing the work. Leaving aside the question of jurisdiction (the person making the copy may be located outside the US and you may not be able to haul him into a US court), in the case of jazz sound recordings, the number being sold in the US may be so small that it may not make economic sense to justify filing a lawsuit. Now, if we were talking about Taylor Swift’s records, probably a different story. That’s real money. I believe Joe Medjuck’s son is an intellectual property attorney. He can probably provide a better answer.

For sure!

The cover grabs your attention.

The issue of copyright and what is or is not in the public domain seems to come up with some regularity. Here is a recent article on what is now in the public domain as George Gershwin's composition "Rhapsody in Blue," along with most other works that were first published in 1924, entered the public domain in the U.S. See The Murkiness of the Public Domain Here is a handy checklist that is cited at the end of the article: Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States

I decided to pass on the set and cancelled the pre-order. I have all of the single cds and frankly don’t listen to a lot of them, except Dippin and NRFS, and haven’t in years so I didn’t see the necessity of duplication.

Yes. There was a thread about it.

Nice!

That was part of the appeal.

No one said you had to.

Yes, he was booted but why I don’t know. However, he’s on Facebook and you can find him there.

Congratulations. Your job sounds very difficult. If you don’t have one, I recommend a good investment advisor.

One of my favorites, from when it first came out.

My girlfriend in freshman year was a big fan and we listened to her a lot. Unfortunately, that relationship didn’t end well and I haven’t listened to her much since then. I saw she died in 97, which I didn’t know. The cause was ovarian cancer and she was only 50. What a shame. A lot late but RIP.

Yes, but we’re talking about less than a week so I think you need to wait another week.

I was at the movies tonight and they showed coming attractions for a movie based on the novel, coming out in February.

I wouldn’t consider recordings like Trio 64 or Conversations with Myself watered down at all.

Part 3 about The Haig was posted in late December. http://jazzwestcoastresearch.blogspot.com/
