Some tought on copyright
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 23 2012 @ 02:46 PM EDT
Nah, it is trying to protect the SSO of the liner notes from a book of
instructions on how to write liner notes. The music notes are irrelevant here.

Some tought on copyright
Authored by: jvillain on Wednesday, May 23 2012 @ 02:54 PM EDT
Record companies fire off take down notices and legal threats over people
trading 3 or 4 chord progressions all the time. Like some band invented the G C
D chord progression. Hint it has been around for over 1000 years. The purpose
of music copyrights is to make software patents seem sane.

Now a copyright on the performance rather than the music it's self is a
different beast and should qualify for copyright. But with the exception of some
way out there guys all the music you hear is just a rehash of things that you
have been done 1000 times over.

Except this was not about JAVA - that was "free" to build (as long as you didn't call it JAVA)

Except this was not about JAVA - that was free to build (as long as you didn't
call it JAVA).

And the way you could call it JAVA, was to run it thru the SUN/JAVA test, then
you could call it JAVA.

Android as is Harmony is not called JAVA so they can do whatever that they want.
Android made it's own version.
That is ok to do (SUN CEO even said so).

So, what is your point?
