Copyright question about downloaded album

Paid for and downloaded an album from iTunes store...I'm speaking at a workshop tomorrow; if I play the album in the background as background noise, is that a violation of copyright laws? Is it possible to contact the publisher or artist to get permission if it is a violation? Just want to be respectful of the artist...it's not words, just nature sounds and strings, but still not sure about what's ok and what's not...any info appreciated...

I'm speaking at a workshop tomorrow; if I play the album in the background as background noise, is that a violation of copyright laws?
Unless you or the venue has a license to play the track, or (more commonly with a venue like a hotel) a blanket license with the appropriate rights organization, yes, it would be a violation of the copyright. Any sort of public performance, whether paid or not, is protected by copyright and requires a separate license from the content owner.
Is it possible to contact the publisher or artist to get permission if it is a violation?
First I'd suggest you contact the management of the venue in which you're holding your workshop and ask if they have a performance license in place already. Many venues that commonly host such events will already have licenses in place. If they don't, then you could contact the rights-holder, but finding the correct party to speak to can be difficult, so it may be a lot easier for you to just use a track that carries no performance restrictions. There are many sites that sell royalty-free music, particularly of "generic" nature sounds and such. Search for something like "royalty free music nature sounds". If you really want that specific track, you can try contacting the record company and asking them who handles their performance rights; many labels use a clearing house.
Regards.

    I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
    When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
    I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

  • Copyright Question about Adobe Patterns

    I have created illustrations for a book and am using Adobe Photoshop Elements to "color in" my drawings. In addition to the patterns which came with my program, I have downloaded patterns from Adobe Exchange. How would you suggest I reference/give credit to Adobe in my publication since these patterns are under copyright protection?

    Unless you sell it as your own creation (that is the pattern template/ swatches, not the result), the usage of provided content is covered in the EULA. No need to make any extra mention of specific stuff beyond perhaps a generic © Adobe for the relevant parts. For third-party content that may be different, but you should find the relevant info from the authors there...

  • Question about downloading and accessing video in FC Express.  HELP!

    Very new to Final Cut Express.... Is it possible to download video (from a Canon Vixia HD30) via firewire to an external drive then access the video footage for FC Express from that drive? Or does the footage still need to move to the computers drive? Bottom line is if possible I want to keep my main drive as clear as possible. If this is all possible any recommendations on what drives would work best for this? Any assistance you can provide is appreciated. Thank You.

    Thank You.. I guess my last question is this.. I have one firewire port.. If the external drive is attached to that I dont have a free firewire port to download the video onto that drive.. Unless I can download via USB..

  • Basic questions about downloading updates and smartnet licensing

    I have been trying to get a definitive answer to these questions by browsing around cisco.com, but so far no luck.
    1. I manage an ASA5510 for which there is no current smartnet contract.  It is running an outdated code version (8.2) of the Security Plus license.  Is it allowable to download the 8.4 image and upgrade the ASA as long as I stay within the Security Plus license, or would there be a fee?
    2. Same question in general for routers without smartnet: If I have a router running old v12.x code is is permissible to upgrade to 15.x code as long as the featureset remains the same?
    3. If I were to purchase a new ASA feature license (e.g. SSL VPN 50 users) and then install it on this ASA, would the license be recoverable if the ASA were to become unusable because of a hardware failure?
    Help on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.  All doc I have found so far either seems either contradictory or ambiguous.
    Thanks,
    -Mathew

    Answer 1:
    If you do not have a SMARTnet agreement for the device that you support, you will be unable to download updates for that device. You will need to have a CCO login with an active SMARTnet agreement for that device.
    Answer 2:
    Same answer to question 1 applies to routers. You will be unable to download updates if that device does not have an active SMARTnet agreement.
    Answer 3:
    If you add a feature, like updating the user license, you will be unable to transfer it to a new unit. This is because the license is bound to the device serial number. The new device will have a different serial number.
    Just to mention also, If you add a feature and have an active agreement, you will need to purchase a new agreement to cover that feature. The original agreement only covers the original device. If it goes bad and needs replacing, you will receive a replacement like the original. It will not contain the added license and you will be unable to install the license on the replacement unit because the license is bound to the serial number. The replacement will have a different serial number.

  • Questions about Downloading Movies from Itunes

    I have used itunes extensively for my music, but have never downloaded any movies or video. If I downloaded a movie from the Itunes store can I then burn it on to a disc. If so, it needs to be a DVD-R disc not a CD-R right? This may sound like a really dumb question, but I have never done this before. Thanks

    From the itunes store terms of service:
    "You shall not be entitled to burn video Products"

  • Disregard my previous question about downloading the Windows version onto a disk. My friend was able to download it herself with dial-up.

    Earlier today I asked if it would be possible to download the Windows version of Thunderbird onto a disk using my Mac. My friend just called up and said she successfully downloaded it herself. Sorry for the false alarm.

  • Question about purchasing Albums

    if I wish to purchase an entire album on iTunes, do I have to download it all at once? or can I download a few of the songs and then download the rest later while still only paying the full album price? I ask because I have a dial-up modem, so I can't find enough time to sit down and download all of the songs at once.

    I think what you will probably have to do is to download what you can on your first try, then stop the download. You can then go back into iTunes>advanced>check for purchases to restart the download when your ready. This is the only way I know that you might be able to do what your suggesting.
    EDIT:
    You might also want to be careful which forum you post in as I just now noticed you posted in the Windows forum instead of the Mac forum.

  • Question about syncing albums

    Is there a way to sync music to an ipod by albums? All I see is artist, playlist, and genre...but what about albums?

    There is no option to check off the albums you want to sync. However, if certain albums are important, you can put them into a playlist and sync by playlist. Once they are on the iPod, you can ignore that playlist and access them by album name.

  • Newbie Question about downloading and installing Firefox

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.3, got it all set up and used it for a while, I am the admin on this machine, my wife is the only other user, I logged in to her acct to make sure that FF was there, but it wasn't?? Thought maybe I should reboot, after the reboot, no firefox on my acct or hers! Completely disappeared, can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on?
    Thanks in advance,
    oldhoghead
    cheers

    Common n00b mistake (joking about the n00b remark)
    It looks like your running the program (Firefox) from the mounted dmg file. When you download Firefox, (and many other apps) it downloads as a .dmg file. Now, you probably have dmg files set to mount automatically when downloaded which is OK. You are probably launching the program from that mounted dmg file which is not OK. Here's what you need to do:
    After the dmg file mounts, instead of double clicking it, drag it to your Applications folder and launch it from there. That's it. Oh, it'll also be available to all your machine's users as well.
    Good Luck.

  • Questions about Downloading InDesign CS6 for WIN

    I am trying to help an employee get Adobe InDesign CS 6 installed on his Windows Computer.
    We are wondering what the difference between these three options are when you are on the Download Program Page:

    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer Package for Windows (English & Japanese)
    or Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS6 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)?
    Are ALL of these programs necessary for him to download? He is worried about the size of some of these files, and if he is duplicating himself by downloading all three download options.
    Also,  does he need to download all three of the following files, too?  Can you tell me what each of these do?

    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer for Windows (English & Japanese)
    Adobe installer contains the extractor (.exe) that is used to extract .7z (compress) files. Size is about 1 Mb.

    The installer package contains the main setup file. The file is downloaded in .7z format (7z is an archive file, like .ZIP or .RAR; with similar and in many cases better compression) which we may decompressed using the previous downloaded CS6 installer or any other extraction tool such as winzip/winrar.
    Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS6 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)
    The content installer contains some additional fonts that you may copy in the font folder in Windows
    You may simply download the Installer package and extract it with winzip/winrar or with the extractor available as a part of first download.

  • Question about downloading and editing images from sd card

    I know you can use an sd card connector kit to download images to the newè iPads. A few questions:
    My sd card has both a raw and jpeg version of each image, but I only want to download the jpegs. Since I believe the iOS doesn't show file extensions, how can I identify just the jpeg images?
    Once on the ipad, where are the photos placed?
    Can you create separate folders and place certain images in them?
    And if you edit an image and save it as a different file, can I place it in a folder I've created?

    This is an iPad question and should be posted in the iPad discussion which is located here:

  • I have questions about downloading adobe flash player.

    I am concerned about the security of installing a downloaded Adobe Flash Player. I can no longer play videos from Facebook or Youtube - it says blocked image. I was given a notice to update Adobe. When I downloaded it I got the yellow warning that it was an application downloaded from the internet and to be cautious. When I went ahead to install it, I was asked for my password so "Adobe flash player can make changes". Is that normal or does this sound fishy. I haven't done that yet!

    1. Click here.
    2. That's the open installer. The icon will disappear when you quit it.

  • Question about downloading movie from itunes

    If i purchase and download a movie from itunes, can i burn it to a dvd?(assuming i have a dvd burner) thx

    Sorry, no. The protection on the file will only allow you to burn a data disc for backup purposes. The protection prevents burning a DVD that can be played in any home DVD unit. This is required by the major motion picture studios & other copyright holders, not Apple.
