How come Everyone thinks Michael Jackson owns The Beatles Recording? EMI Says They Own the Master Tapes?

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:57:28 +0000

Well in all the news stories State that EMI Ltd holds the copyrights to the The Beatles and Solo (except Paul`s Solo music) master tapes and The Beatles tried to sue EMI Ltd to take ownership of The Master Tapes and The Beatles lost the case! I seen the Masters in the EMI vaults they are labeled propriety of EMI. And EMI files The lawsuits who infringe on the Copyrights of the The Beatles music. MJ does not have anything to do with EMI or the master tapes. You can look on any Beatles Album or any TV program they list they got the music from EMI and is copyrighted by EMI. Only thing MJ owns Is the the Publishing rights!

Michael Jackson’s Estate owns the majority of The Beatles songs. The estimated value of this catalog -in 2009- was 1.1 Billion dollers US. Long term royalties have been estimated to be five times that. EMI may own the master tapes; but these are really only historical documents. The cans are the property of EMI, and when the original printing on albums etc. was done; they owned the -temporary- copywrites. This changes when the owner of the copywrite; (the song’s author), makes a written agreement -an ‘Exclusive Grant’- to assign the copywrite to another organization, such as a publisher. Copywrites can be bought, sold, willed to others, or given away. In 1985, Michael Jackson Holdings bought the publishing rights to 159 or 251 Beatles songs (depending which company is counting), for 47.5 million dollers. This means that the Michael Jackson estate gets a royalty whenever a Beatles song is played or printed. Selling copywrites restricts the future use of the works by the author. Therefore, there is often artist negotiation; but Michael Jackson would not. Paul MacCartney describes the discussion he had -somewhat bitterly- on an appearance on the David Letterman show. (Note that ‘Lennon-MacCartney’ will always get a 50% share of the writers royalties). The EMI suit you’re referring to is the 2005 case, when the ex-Beatles sued them for 54 million dollers in unpaid royalties. Also not to be confused with the 1969 Lew Grade take-over bid of Northern Songs. In 1995 Sony Corp. paid Michael Jackson 95 million dollers to merge these ATV songs into a 50/50 joint venture called ‘Sony/ATV Publishing’.

If there’s a lot of illegal music download, why dont Music Labels make their records with different technology?

I mean, cant they just make records not readable to computers?? Or is it just impossible??

If you can hear it you can record it. If you can record it you can post it for download. The only "technology" they could use to keep you from posting rips is "silent music", music you can’t hear. And I don’t think too many people would buy CDs with nothing on them (unless you could write to them).

If I wanted to eventually run and own a music record label, what college would be good for me to go?

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 05:30:07 +0000

What college has the best courses for this?
Particularily in California

Well, there isn’t a particular college that is going to teach you to how to run/own a music record label but it would probably would be a good idea to study Business/economics with a focus on the entertainment industry….

I would look for schools with good business schools and schools that also focus on the entertainment industry… Im sure there are plenty colleges that you could find in California…

Try this Easy Hi Q Recorder verson 2.4

You have to register it to be able to record more than 3 minutes and
pay $29.95 however it is excellent. Works on any sound platform.
I bought it since I gave up my sound blaster audigy in favor of the motherboard
AC-97 onboard sound that comes on the ASUS motherboards (and most others now)
Easy Hi Q allows you to set the format to *.wav, *.mp3, *.wma or others and
it allows you to select your kbps.

If you have a sound blaster product, creative recorder should be able to do this without
extra cost.

I Can’t Find This Song!?

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:44:56 +0000

I’ve been looking for this song forever! It’s in the ending credits of The A Team movie (2010). I’ve searched everywhere and came up with I’ve Got Mine by the Black Keys. But it’s a different arrangement. I found this on IMDB for the A Team movie soundtrack.

"I GOT MINE"
Written by Daniel Q. Auerbach (as Dan Auerbach) and Patrick J. Carney (as Patrick Carney)
Performed by The Black Keys
Courtesy of Nonesuch Records
By Arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing

Does anyone know where i can find this arrangement? Any help is greatly appreciated, I’ve been looking for this song forever!
It’s not the original version of the song. It’s a different arrangement, with like a stronger guitar sound maybe?

How can i record music from the computer to a CD that can be played also to a CDplayer?

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:23:34 +0000

When i record music to a CD it can be played only by the computer , how can i record music to a CD that can be played also to a CDplayer ?

First off, what program are you using? If you have windows media on on PC you can use that, its free because it comes with windows. Follow these steps you’ll be burning CDs in no time OK:

1.Click the Burn tab, click the arrow below the Burn tab, and then click Audio CD, as shown in the following screen shot.

2. Insert a blank CD-R disc into the CD burner.

3. If you have multiple CD burners installed on your computer and the burner you want to use is not the one selected, in the List pane above the playlist, click Next Drive (as shown in the following screen shot) until the CD burner drive you want is selected.

4.To add albums, songs, or playlists from your Player library, drag them from the Details pane to the List pane to create a list of songs to burn.

5. If you have selected more files than can fit on one CD, you can either burn all of the files to multiple CDs or choose to remove files until they all fit on one CD. To do this, right-click the file you want to remove, and then click Remove from List, as shown in the following screen shot. Keep doing this until the files will fit on one CD. Note that removing files from the burn list will not delete the affected files from the library.

6. In the list, drag files up or down to arrange them in the order that you want them to appear on the CD. If you have chosen to burn more than one CD at once, make sure that the files are ordered so that they will be burned to the CD you want.

7. At the bottom of the List pane, click Start Burn

8. If you are burning multiple CDs, insert a blank CD when the first one has finished burning, and then click Start Burn. Repeat this step until you have finished burning all of the CDs.

When the CD is down burning, it will eject itself. Hope this helps…

What is a list of careers within a record label? just the music industry in general?

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:31:22 +0000

I really love music and want to go into a career with it. However, I’d rather just work with the company than actually be in a band. I would also prefer a career within it that doesn’t require a lot of communication. Please only serious answers.

All jobs require you to communicate.The music industry especially,even the accounting division of record labels communicate.

If you have issues with communication(I did at one time also I hated talking to people-so I know how you feel).Then find a job that requires you to deal with people(Mine was Six Flags Great Adventure).It will force you to be uncomfortable but you’ll grow(Sorta like growing pains they hurt but their necessary).I sure did.I worked my up to a Assistant Supervisor of Concerts/Events-but you have to want to help customers(I did).Good jobs want someone that wants can help the customer/guest.

Good luck to you….God Bless you on your journey.

What are the music players called that play copper records and sounds like choir bells?

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 06:42:37 +0000

Does anyone know the name of the music players that play the "copper records"? The records are the size of an old 33 and have little bumps on them. When the record circulates a thing rubs against the bumps it makes the music. They sound like choir bells. There is one at Cabelas.

These? http://themusicboxcompany.com/images/disk_music_boxes/Stella/Copy%20of%20Stella%20023.jpg

They are disc music boxes or as some people call them, Kalliopes.
