Leeway Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 It seems like the answer to a question that was never asked. Maybe this is what all music will sound like in 2914. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Love it. So much love and nostalgia for the 8 bit and 16 bit eras. For people of a certain age, this is our childhood, simple as that. Videogames are what we tripped out to while our parents were busy having meltdowns and getting divorced etc. A bit like Woodstock, you probably had to be there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXFwo_FRdhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed59hQFwA6Q Edited January 9, 2014 by xybert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 It seems like the answer to a question that was never asked. Not here, that's for sure. Maybe this is what all music will sound like in 2914. There was a German 1960's science tv fiction series where it did in the late 2000's !

mikeweil Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I post this hesitantly, but, hey, it's out there to hear... or whatever... http://kindofbloop.com/ Kind of Bloop An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue Just listened to All Blues: He does the intro in 11/4 but switches back to 12/4 (or four bars of 3/4, as most of you straightahead guys will see it) forthe theme and chorus - he has to cause he transcribes all the original solos. When we played the tune in our recently disbanded quartet, I insisted we play the whole tune and chorusses in 11/4 except for the B section which we did in 12/4. He must have heard our live video which we had made available via facebook ... he stole my idea, I will sue him .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copyright is there to protect artists. A photograph is a work of art just as well as a recorded song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Better than anything Miles did during the 8-bit gaming era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copyright is there to protect artists. A photograph is a work of art just as well as a recorded song. Because this should be considered sufficiently transformative to fall under fair use. Furthermore, the balancing test would (or certainly should) indicate that this would have no "market harm" to the copyright holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is that one should ask permission no matter the intention what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think a reasonable parallel would be Warhol & soup cans, another iconic image appropriated for "artistic commentary". No laws were violated, and Campbell's was appropriately grateful for the publicity. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091102213654AAn4dOL http://clancco.com/wp/2010/08/warhol_copyright_campbells-soup/ I get that the soup can involved trademarks and the Bloop thing an image, but still, I find this photographer's actions almost thuggish, and definitely reeking of a shakedown. The Bloop guy didn't use the image, he referenced it. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
page Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I see. There is a lot to copyright, it is complicated and I understand from a photographer who is a friend of mine that a lot gets stolen while as an artist you can't really do anything about it. Not every one is famous and has money to take a violater to court. That sucks. Now copyright laws in the U.S. and Europe differ somewhat. I understand from the story there is a culture of sueing in the U.S. and the fair use as opposite movement against that which makes sense. I just mentioned the asking permission since that would avoid a lot of trouble in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
