| 1152516 | 2010-11-14 01:51:00 | @Snorkbox & Johcar The background music is a re-recording by an unknown artist from a cheap compilation LP of re-recordings of hits. That version has no copyrights and is not slade. I used it instead of the Slade version so i didn't get in trouble. the LP is called "40 Sensational Hits". and every song is re-recorded by unknown people. @errorguy The AD is automatically there. @gary67 I knew that they were called "Ambrosia Slade". Did you know that they were originally "The N' Betweens"? Edit: there is a media player start and stop button at the bottom of the page. It shows up fine in Internet Explorer, but it wont show in firefox if you have VLC. it will just say (No Video). |

| 1152517 | 2010-11-14 05:43:00 | Goodiesguy. The background Music was written by a person other than you and you are using same. The music did not arrive out of thin air and invent itself did it? So who composed the music and when? |

| 1152518 | 2010-11-14 06:45:00 | It was composed by Noddy Holder in late 1972. If i have to, i can shorten the song to 30 seconds so it is legal. But it IS legal. this is a public domain recording. I did not use the Slade version due to copyright issues. |

| 1152519 | 2010-11-14 07:03:00 | On the subject of copyright, you must give credit to the original author/website/blog for the content you have copied and pasted. | Jen (38) | ||
| 1152520 | 2010-11-14 07:05:00 | Which is what i'm doing. It credits the composers in the Discography section |

| 1152521 | 2010-11-14 07:08:00 | No, I am talking about your blog entry you have ripped from this site: slade40years.cms4people.de - they have properly credited the source in their post. Source: www.telfordjournal.com | Jen (38) | ||

I did not use the Slade version due to copyright issues. The music was not written prior to 1910 then so this may apply as you are broadcasting same! en.wikipedia.org(copyright)#Copyright_Law |

| 1152523 | 2010-11-14 09:03:00 | It's also worth pointing out that unlike the USA, we don't have fair use provisions in our copyright laws here. Unless you know exactly where those recordings came from, *and* they are licenced for use on your website (either directly, or via a licence such as Creative Commons, public domain release etc), then using them is illegal. The background music is a re-recording by an unknown artist from a cheap compilation LP of re-recordings of hits.Which means you don't have permission from the artist, and I very much doubt you have permission from whatever label released the compilation - ergo you're illegally using the music. You say that the recording is released to the public domain, but what makes you think this if you don't even know the artist? Edit: I also noticed that at least one of your images has a copyright notice on it for Barry Plummer. Barry Plummer is a professional photographer - do you have his permission to use that photo on your site? Edit 2: And another one is watermarked as being from Redfern - have you paid Getty for this image? I doubt it. Hate to say this, but your site really does just seem to be a collection of illegal copies of a whole lot of other people's work, without even crediting them. Don't you think that the relevant rightsholders deserve to be paid for their work? |

| 1152524 | 2010-11-14 09:24:00 | The company who released the lp are long out of buissness. Also, the musicians on the recording were given a 1 off payment for it. I'm on a Music forum that has people on there who release CD's for EMI etc.. and know all about this stuff. I checked there first. Those pictures are just from google search. I used them so i could have a background. If any of the picture owners have objections, i will take the pictures down. |

| 1152525 | 2010-11-14 09:32:00 | The company who released the lp are long out of buissness.In that case, you would need to contact whoever the rights were transferred to - if a label goes into receivership, these are often transferred to another label. It's pretty much unheard of for a business in receivership to simply donate its assets to the public, that just doesn't happen. Also, the musicians on the recording were given a 1 off payment for it.That's irrelevant - it doesn't matter how the musicians were paid, what matters is how you are paying whoever owns the copyright - which is unlikely to be the musicians in this case. I'm on a Music forum that has people on there who release CD's for EMI etc.. and know all about this stuff. I checked there first.Then whoever told you that what you are doing is legal doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. Unless you actually have a licence to use that music for public broadcast via the internet, from your website, then what you're doing is not legal. Those pictures are just from google search. I used them so i could have a background.Which is illegal, unless you have a licence to use them for that. To obtain such a licence, you should contact whoever owns the rights to those images. If any of the picture owners have objections, i will take the pictures down.That's not the way it works. It is your responsibility to find the owner and negotiate licensing, along with any applicable fees. You can't just use them without permission. |
