The respective country's bilateral partner of the copyright society that Sound on Sound had to sign a contract with in order to get into standard distribution channels. The artists' will in concrete matters of copyright is of rather marginal importance since they have to sign a significant part of their rights over in order to get coverage. If the artists would in any manner be a driving force of copyright enforcement, extending copyright beyond their death would be absurd rather than a powerful asset in the hand of the media industry. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
