my favorite part of this is that because the CRB rules change every 5 years there's an even narrower window in which there's an accessible AND correct canonical resource on digital music copyright

also if you thought this was complicated, legally speaking i got the diagrams wrong because copyright for sound recordings is represented by Ⓟ and not © but i refuse to change it because i refuse to write a sidebar explaining to everyone that Ⓟ is a copyright symbol too

Why do the “Sound Recording” labels in the diagrams have a © rather than a ℗?
-
goddammit grimm
-
yes you are correct and goddammit
-
i'm not asking art to change it because it's shorthand for copyright in the common parlance and i refuse to write sidebar explaining (P)
-
I know. It’s just that the subject makes me want to make every pedantic copyright joke I can.

If you had a choice, picking only 1 of 2, to wipe away all laws & restart from scratch, which would you burn to the ground, Copyright law or Patent law?
-
copyright
-
patent got a revamp recently, the terms don't last as long, and there are formalities instead of rights vesting automatically

I read this and now I'm really glad that I've chosen environmental law as my future field of specialisation instead of music law. REALLY GLAD.
-
lol i avoided environmental law because it seemed too technical
-
And copyright law has better parties?
-
Unfortunately South Africa doesn't see many copyright disputes. A lot of patent disputes but that would require me to get a Science degree and that isn't happening.

I thought it was pretty clear that "mechanical" meant reproduction by machine in 1909. Meaning may have shifted over time to refer to compulsory licensing.
-
Indeed. Oddly, one could argue that "mechanical" was the 1909 equivalent of "digital," insofar as a piano roll was the equivalent of a computer punchcard. I think there is considerable ontological confusion in relation to copyright in sound recordings as a result.

The U.K act covered "means by which the work may be mechanically performed or delivered" -- music rolls, right? /1
-
That language, in the Canadian act, was used in the 80's to protect computer code stored in ROM -- mechanically performed or delivered.
