![]() That 1 hr program ran in any dead slot the cable station had, for like ten years. I, also, have been a producer, for many years and, I have even sat on panels, for copyright issues on local broadcast. "fore-knowledge of "wrongdoing" ? Where did you get that?įor anyone else, my "general" advice has always been the same: But if you are just here seeking validation for a different point of view, then you are entirely welcome to test your theories, and I agree, my "general" thoughts are of little or no value to you. If you "really" have any 501c experience, then you should know this. However, as a director for a registered non-profit for many years, I am reasonably certain that our non-commercial status, as well as any of the other conjectures you offered, do not isolate the corporation pre-emptively from the application of copyright ownerships where they exist. Since it seems you may be intent on delivering the content and taking your chances on whatever collateral issues may come later, then I agree, your amount of commercial involvement (gain) might weigh on the degree of any potential damages. Although falling on deaf ears in this case, the lesson I've taken is that it's better to be safe than sorry, even if taking the precautions means a bit of overkill. I "thought" that my forty years in live performance and stage production, and related memberships in professional organizations, might provide a little "general" insight. That in no way makes anything I said conjecture, nor is it based on anything but experience. ![]() No, I'm loath to give you specific advice because I'm not entitled to do so, nor would anyone else in their right mind attempt to do so in a public forum. Then maybe you should consult an attorney specializing in intellectual property rights. "Your advice is too general and is not based on knowledge" a series of exclusive rights granted to the author include the right to prohibit others from reproducing (copying), adapting (making derivative works), distributing, publicly performing, or publicly displaying the work."Īs far as your other question, yes there are many video background packages and even commercial software vis generators for DJs available. The definition of copyright is perfectly clear: It makes absolutely no difference if you are working in the US. You need to get this notion of "commercial" or "noncommercial" use out of your head. Whether each of these instances mandates a licensure agreement or not is unknown to me, and something you absolutely would need to find out before uploading or displaying anything. I do know that many DJs, live concerts, and even some music videos use Milkdrop output from Winamp. I suspect you'll not get much cooperation from Microsoft on this, although it does no harm to ask. I hope this topic is within the scope of this forum, as it might be a handy tool for many projects (for all of us). PS: I also wonder if I, as an aspiring commercial DJ would likely "get away with" projecting this same "visualizer" random content onto a large projection screen, during commercial (local event) DJ (Paid gigs with public access). Methods for generating such on "no budget". There used to be several popular titles, in SD aspect/resolution. ![]() I am also aware that there are commercially available libraries (on DVD?) of animated backdrops, for keying your videos over. Solution/Conclusion: So, is this a grey area of legality or, "cut-n-dry" (with precedents) ? just generates a random battery of synthesized, animated, geometric visual patterns, based on some audio wave-form analysis algorythm. ![]() This media Player feature is much like the DAZZLE screensaver, of old. ![]() I would prefer to use something more visually interesting, as a visual backdrop, for personally composed and mastered "songs". I have noticed many YouTube Audio presentations, which use a static "title screen". Problem: Wish to understand any legal copyrights (nature & status) of Microsoft Media Player's "Visualizer" video output, for the purpose of adding a visual element to YouTube audio presentations (private, "not for profit", musical audio programs).ĭiscussion: I wish to capture/acquire a full-screen image (either directly or by "shooting the screen during playback"). ![]()
