Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for June 12, 2015

I can testify regarding priority

Who done whut fust

RIAA in action!

Cheers to you, Parker guys! and to your sharp eye upon the zeitgeist!

“We now return to our original broadcast.”

You can’t copyright blood rushing through your head.

YouTube doesn’t even tell you what it was you saved in their Favorites section. I always save the song in my own favorites folder with the title, at least I can find it again.

I sea what Parker and Hart is doing here…

Up until a couple of years ago, a song entered the public domain when it was 50 years beyond its copyright date. Now, in both the U. S. and Great Britain, that period has been extended to 70 years. One would think that, in half a century, an artist would figure out every way possible to mine profits from a song. But I guess not.

Must be a Youtube or maybe Facebook owned shell.

We now return you to our regular program where Mrs Cleaver says..wait for it…..“Ward.aren’t you a little hard on the Beaver?”(Walley says I’m staying the hell out of this conversation)

Pay the piper.Reward the artist for her work.Royalties for intellectual product is reasonable.Seashells, however, have passed their royalty expiration date.

If a copyrighted sound plays in the woods, and nobody is there to hear it, is it a violation?
