Record Label â..Infringesâ.. Own Copyright

October 22, 2008

Great, so ISPs are now pro-actively pulling down content. Maybe learn a little about how copyright works before doing this kind of thing.
Record Label â..Infringesâ.. Own Copyright, Site Pulled | TorrentFreak

Quote Unquote Records is an Internet based record label, run by Bomb the Music Industry! and â..The Arrogant Sons of Bitchesâ.. frontman Jeff Rosenstock. A forward looking outfit, all artists on the label give their music away for free on the labelâ..s website. Well, they would, if the webhost hadnâ..t have taken down the site for alleged copyright infringement.
Around a week ago, the label was notified by its webhost that it had some copyright music files on its server, which was no surprise to them since they were tracks by Arrogant Sons of Bitches, one of the labelâ..s bands. The tracks the webhost referred to were actually written by Jeff himself. Jeff spoke with someone at the host on the telephone, explained that they were his own tracks and was informed this wasnâ..t a problem.

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
