RE: Draft article on Project Gramophone now online for comment -- please review

Jon,  

I have reviewed with interest your article below (I have just now quickly read it and will spend more time doing an in-depth study).  

I am giving a presentation this Thursday at our campus Forum to the Student Film Association members and wondered how you felt about me distributing paper copies of your article to the participants (they expect 40-60 in attendance)? Can I have your permission? This is excellent information for the students to be aware of and study, as I understand one of their topics for discussion at the Forum is the possible use of Public Domain music in student film productions.  

Thank you for your excellent work and consideration of my request.

To: CNI-COPYRIGHT -- Copyright & Intellectual Property Subject: [CNI-(C)] Draft article on Project Gramophone now online for comment -- please review  

Everyone,  

I've temporarily placed online a rough draft of an article I plan to

publicly publish online early next week. Plans are now being made by a

few of us to heavily promote this article in various forums and venues.  

The article concerns Project Gramophone, a proposal to establish one

or more non-profit organizations internationally to place online

pre-WW2 sound recordings. The recordings would be served from and to

countries where it is legal to do so. Items related to copyright law

as it applies to sound recordings in the U.S. and other countries, and

related legal issues, such as royalty encumberances, are discussed in

the article.  

You may view the latest version of this draft article at:  

     http://www.projectgramophone.org/blog.html    

I am requesting those interested in this topic to read over the draft

and forward to me your thoughts regarding the accuracy of its facts

and conclusions, any omissions of important items that should be

discussed, plus any other comments and criticisms you may have about

the article.  

This online draft article will be available only through this weekend,

so look it over as soon as you can and forward to me your comments by

Monday at the latest.  

Thanks in advance!  

Jon Noring
