Hi Gary,
Your point about copyrights was essentially true in most cases before
the era of deregulation, consolidation and the lobby machine. Now that
is certainly no longer the case. I remember as a little boy recording
the Buffalo Bills radio broadcast on my little consumer level reel to
reel recorder and then being told by another little boy that I was doing
something illegal. I got scared and I called the Bills front office and
they virtually laughed at me saying that I was OK unless I tried selling
or charging admission for playing the tapes.
More recently, as someone who tried doing Karaoke in a public place, I
was approached from some clown from BMI or some such group inquiring if
I had purchased the tapes legally and if I had rights to them and if the
place (a private party but held in a more or less public place) had
rights for such activity. Actually, I had recorded the tapes on my own
and with someone else not connected to any organization. Seee how
things have changed.
