Another copyright question-

Can I use some of the "Jingles" that come with iLife (GarageBand) to use in a DVD project that will be commercially produced?
Any information would be veery helpful, thank you.
Mike

HT, the jingles in GB3 are like standalone songs, you don't use them to create your own music. So the sentence You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis is a bit amgiguous. I still take it these jingles are royalty free, however.

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

Copyright question on older VHS tapes

Hey all,
My friend has some guitar instructional comercial VHS tapes he purchased in the 1990's. He has asked me to transfer them to DVD for him, as these tapes are not available on DVD.
These tapes have the usual warning at the begining stating:
"federal law prohibits any unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures and video tapes. (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506)"
He has lawfully purchased these tapes and only wants to make DVD copies as back up for his personal use. He or anyone else will not be viewing both the original VHS tape and the DVD copy at the same time. He will not be selling them or distributing them in any way.
My queston is:
Is the above scenario allowed?
Thanks,

Hey Mark - sorry for being unclear, but then, whenever you talk about copyright, there's bound to be muddy waters. :)
My position is only that if you are copying/duplicating/rearranging or otherwise using material that you did not specifically get the copyright holder's permission to use, then you need to find a legal reason to do so. Fair use is the only provision for this, and those usages are actually very clearly outlined.
What you are talking about - copying your personal copy of a specific work for private use - only holds up when the duplicate is either used exclusively or is being kept as a backup. Not written into law yet, but held up by court precedent, is the more recent usage in mp3 players, home computers, car stereos...basically, copying your songs from a legally purchased disc to multiple locations held in your own private use. Again, this is not part of the law, but legal precedent has determined that it's OK.
I wouldn't worry about what you are doing, since it is simply an attempt to maintain integrity of a licensed copy of a particular work, and the intent seems to be clear that you are going to be destroying the original (the VHS cassette).
As concerns people having rights to copyrighted material....just remember that the law is clear about your rights ending where another person's begin. When a person owns a copyright, your usage - unless otherwise stated - is only limited to the copies you have purchased. To exceed your usage according to the terms of your license agreement or other legal provisions (fair use) would infringe upon the copyright holder's legal rights....and that, of course, is where your rights will end.
And yeah, let's all remember that Steve Jobs is just like all of us....he is a regular human being, and he has opinions. When someone uses words like "should" or "I think" or "we ought to"....opinion is present, and opinion is not a good foundation for legal defense. I guarantee his lawyers just sorta twiddle their thumbs, whistling and rocking on their feet everytime Steve Jobs says something like that in public. Of course, in Steve Jobs case, if the quote is correct, he claims that we "need to have the right..." which, of course, means that we do not currently have the right.
Music on your menus....well, again, putting it on your own DVDs and watching it with your wife and kids at your house would definitely pass the courts. However, if you take it over to Grandma's house, or burn a copy for someone else in your family, you broke the law. You are then creating a public viewing or deliberately duplicating a resynchronized track for the use of a non-license-holding entity.
In all these cases, be aware that you will almost never ever ever catch the eye of the law for these uses, fair or not. Even if you did, it would cost more money to sue you than could be reclaimed. The big boys are looking to make money, and unless they thought they'd make more money in the long run by making an example of you in court, they won't bother. They are very frustrated by all of this, because we keep finding more and more fair uses and setting more precedents in our favor. I'm not now nor would I ever condone or justify the illegal use of copyrighted materials. Only stating the obvious here....you will probably never get sued for it.
If you are happy with the odds and ready to accept the risks, then make your decision. Hope some of this was helpful!

Copyright question for posting to the web

hi all.
i am wondering if someone wouldn't mind giving me a bit of expertise on a question i have.
i have a set of images from various sources that are basically creative imagery. i have organized these and i would like to share them by posting them to an album on my flickr account.
i have named the files with the topic and the photographer and i am wondering if it is likely to create a problem. in /most/ cases these images are actually from the New York Times so the file name says "architecture house_ray jones NYT.png" or whatever.
is there a hard rule against this? is it possible to give attribution in the photo explanation and be OK?
thanks for any advice.

You'd have to contact the copyright holder to find out what you can do with the images.

Alex voice copyright question

I'd like to know if apple has a copyright on the "Alex" voice itself. I'm a writer and I'm writing a series of poems about technology and computers. I really like the way the poems sound when read by a synthesized voice since it fits in with the technical vibe that I'm going for.
If I was to record "Alex" reading my poems into an mp3, add some mood music using garage band, what are the copyright considerations? I'm looking for several answers to the different facets of this question, such as:
Can I legally record the voice at all?
Can I legally record the voice and release it as free content?
Can I legally record the voice and release it as paid content (specifically, I'd like to release a companion CD with a book of poems)?
If so, is it simply a matter of giving apple credit and a citation for the voice? Or would I actually owe them money since I used their voice to read my content and made some (small amount) of money off of it?
If it's really an issue I can read the poems myself, trying to simulate a computerized voice, but I really like the "Alex" voice. It sounds like a neat mix of human and machine, sounding mechanical a large part of the time, but creepily human in others. It's a great effect, and really adds to the mood I am trying to establish with my series of tech poems.
Anyway, thanks for your replies. I'm looking forward to anyone who can shed some light on this.

I cannot comment on the legality issue.
However I would like to give some guidance on how to record poetry using Alex.
(1) You can record directly into an audio file.
* Put your text into a plain text file (not formatted or rich text). One way to do this is with TextEdit.
* Run Terminal, navigate (using "cd") to the folder containing that file. e.g. MyFile.txt
* type the following:
say -v Alex -f MyFile.txt
You should then hear the text spoken by Alex. If it sounds the way you like it, then type
say -v Alex -f MyFile.txt -o MyFile.aiff
You will not hear anything, but the file "MyFile.aiff" will be created in the same directory. You can play this in the Finder, put it into iTunes, work with it in GarageBand, etc.
The advantage of doing this, rather than plugging the audio output of your Mac into a recording device, is that the quality is maximum, there is no distortion, no added noise, no spectral imbalance, and the signal-to-noise ratio will be as good as it gets.
(2) When recording poetry (or anything else), liberally add punctuation. Particularly in poetry at the ends of lines. Commas add a pause and a falling-rising pitch pattern. Exclamation marks will raise the pitch peaks of preceding accented words. An intervening blank line causes a new paragraph to begin, which inserts a larger pause and does lots of things to the pitch.
Compare Alex synthesis of the following two passages. To do so, select all the text and then choose
Safari>Services>Speech>Start Speaking Text

Logic Loop Copyright Question

Hi all. My question is, are all of the loops provided in Logic, Garageband, or any of the Jampacks, free from copyright restrictions? Meaning when utilized for commercial purpose, do they need to be declared as samples, or is everything provided, basically up for grabs? Thanks!

I thought this was quite clear:

You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (“Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects.
You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects or music beds."

Yet another standby question...

Hi gurus,
Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
db_name YELLOW - primary prod
db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
Thanks as usual,
Maria

well, that's a good question! :)
because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
Thanks for writing to me,
M.

Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

Hi all
right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
many thanks

You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

Another Noobie question - readLine()

Hi all
This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file
    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){
            NetworkLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }My Test.txt is
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
without the *
The output I get is
Two
Four
Six
I cannot figure out why only even no. lines are being read. I inserted a breakpoint at the line
          System.out.println(NetworkLine);This shows me that only even no. lines are being read by readLine(). Any help will be appreaciated.
Thanks
Ayesha

    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){ // <-- This reads a line, checks it for null ,and drops it
            NetworkLine = in.readLine(); // <-- this reads the next line
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }So the upshot is that you print every other line.
Corrected:
    String networkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while ((networkLine = in.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(networkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Another beginner question about targeting functions

I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
//sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
//sym.getComposition().playSound();
//Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)
