Enrico Pasini — Cantabile No. 85 for organ by Carson Cooman

in sonicgroove •  5 years ago 

“…in Elbog’n liegt mein Ranzen (Variationen)” (2003) is a work that reflects Willscher’s lifelong musicology interests, especially in rare music from Silesia. The piece is set of variations on a Schnaderhüpfl, a kind of Gsanzl, which is an epigram-like folk song form. In Willscher’s piece, the jaunty melody is taken through contrasting variations, using different colors of the organ.

As commendable as I think it is to bring in musicians, especially organists and organ composers like Carson Cooman, it seems a bit strange to just copy (and link to) one of his youtube publications. Did you contact him and tell him about your initiative? Or to get his consent for reposting his publication?

Thanks @partitura. See this from the Steemleo tribe:

Once the author has some Steem in their account, then we can reach out to them and see if it interests them.

As I said: commendable. The worry, however is in step 3. No matter what the intention is (and how commendable), the use of possibly/probably copyrighted material is the worrysome part. There should be consent a prori of the copyright holder and not consent a posteriori.
The person (in this case Carson Cooman) is perhaps dead against block chain and does not want his name associated with it. Or he/she may have another reason to be against it. He/she, and any musician you want to syndicate, should have first say in whether they want their material to be used in this way. It is for them to decide, not for you. Not only from a legal point of view but from a moral point of view as well.

So, I do hope you contacted the artists you published material of beforehand. I really think you should.

YouTube allows embedding of videos and sharing the link in any public platform (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit etc). What is the difference? Would I need to seek permission to post his video to a Facebook group? Essentially this is "resteeming" their content onto a social media platform.

The difference is that you cross post it onto another platform and the copyright holder has no control over the revenues generated. Even if Youtube allows embedding, that does not mean the 'emboddor' has full right to do whatever he wants with the embedded material. The original poster still has legal control over how the material is used.

I don't doubt your intentions to hand over the control of the steemaccount to the artist. That's not the point. And it is your own responsibility to check the legal consequences, or if there are any. That's not the point either (though I hope you have this thouroughly checked).

My point is: the artist should be asked beforehand. As artist ourselfes, we should respect the say other artists have in the use of their material.
