David Ayers Posted September 25, 2004 Report Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) The TV news a few days ago said that music companies over here were trying to get European copyright laws regarding sound recordings changed. What worries them is not the end of copyright on jazz recordings (not a big earner) but on rock and roll (big bucks). This is of concern to UK too, as Britain is biggest supplier of repertoire after US - they have less than a decade before early Beatles comes out of copyright. It was thought that it would be difficult to change the attitudes of enough European countries who don't stand to benefit and whose legal tradition habitually distinguishes between copyright in the composition and that in the recording in a fairly dramatic fashion. In fact here's a link: LINK! Edited September 25, 2004 by David Ayers Quote
