107 – The Thing About Copyrights…

Recorded 24 July, 2009

On this episode of With A Voice Like This:

At Any Rate
Almost the entire show is about rights, how artists can and do use them, how managers use them and how big business uses them as well.

  • A great example of how artists can take control of what’s happening comes from Paul Natkin’s blog about a Van Halen Contract regarding photography and shooting the band.
  • The Joss Stone “Let Them Eat Cake” (my nickname) YouTube video on Artists Paid blog [EDIT: site is no longer viable, I've removed the link 06-12-11]
  • Here’s the Joss Stone interview with Chelsea Handler [EDIT: The YouTube account that posted this interview has been removed, so I've removed the link 06-12-11] that I spoke of in the show but didn’t have the link for. it’s also on YouTube.
  • My music at Music Alley on  Mevio and on CD Baby
  • Article on TorrentFreak and RIAA’s views on DRM
  • Article on ars technica about the RIAAs views on DRM going to make a comeback.
  • Annie Lin’s excellent article about the Bing jingle contest

News You Can Use
This is a follow up to the last episode’s segment on TalentTrove and how Director of Marketing Jaime McGee responded to that segment in a positive way and how impressed I am with it.

106 – New Track, Old Copyrights and Talent Trove

Recorded 14 July 2009

In this episode of With A Voice Like This:

First listen to the new tracks I’ve laid down for my new show intro/outro. They’re very raw, so you get to hear them, see what you think and leave your thoughts on them. you’ll be hearing more of them soon, very soon, so get your two cents worth in now.

At Any Rate
More copyrights talk anyone?

  • A few minor (but important) victories for YouTube in their class action suit  charging them with copyright infringement as seen in the cnet article. This doesn’t affect the Viacomm suit suit brought against YouTube directly, but does clear some of the infringement claims made.
  • A Revisit to the Usenet issue. A member of the Podcast Gallery alerted me to the fact that AT&T was shutting off access to Usenet from their services on or around July 15 in this CrunchGear article. While in my opinion the article makes use of a little fact and a lot of fertilizer, it does let you know what’s happening with Usenet.

News You Can Use
Okay, News You Can Use is a little backwards this show. I’m asking for your help in regards to the website TalentTrove.com. I received a letter suggesting a link exchange from the Director of Marketing even including a link to where my link would be found. I give you a brief synopsis of my experience in researching them and I just really want to know what you, The Podcast Gallery think of Talent Trove. So take a listen and you can leave a comment, send an e-mail to contact@WithAVoiceLikeThis.com, or call the Comments From the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 630.492.0487 and leave me a message (standard calling rates apply).

105 – Multing, Usenet and CD Baby Twins

Recorded 7 July 2009

The topics on this week’s show include:

4-AM
I talk about the recording 4-AM did the previous Wednesday and the technique called multing. what it is, how it works and my general feelings on its use.

At Any Rate
This show’s At Any Rate is all about the June 30 Ruling by a Federal Judge finding that Usenet.com is liable for copyright infringement from this Ars Technica article. I think this is a landmark finding that open up more doors  to futures suit of this type. I talk about how Usenet.com really shot themselves in the foot with this and my opinoins on the outcome of the case.

News You Can Use
This section gives birth to twin CD Baby happenings:

Comments From the Podcst Gallery

104 – What a Difference 10 Hours Make

Recorded 30 June 2009

On this episode of  With A Voice Like This the topics include:

4-AM

  • Recording with 4-AM and in a new way for better quality demos
  • Some of the songs we’ll be recording

At Any Rate
This is my quick take on a Hypebot article about Amanda Palmer, solo artist and member of the Dresden Dolls, who grossed $19,000  in 10 (non-consecutive) hours on Twitter. A cautionary tale of what inspiration, frustration, great self-promotion, a good sense of humor and some pre-existing fame can accomplish.
