So, this is a long-time coming. There was a high-pitch noise that was in some of the recordings I did last summer with Ryno. I haven't been working on getting that out for the last nine months, but it did take some time. Better late than never, and since we are trying to figure out what to do with our standard music show, I thought this was a perfect Friday to release this show!

Also, I missed an obvious chance to say "That's cool, Daddio!"

More show notes after the fold.

This week on the Lawcast we have something a little bit different. If you want to hear more from Robert, check out The Jazzcast After Party or you can check out when Tom and I had him on the main Music Manumit show. Thanks, as always on the Jazzcast, to Ryno for twiddling the knobs!

The reason it took so long to get this out is that I had to go back and put in some of the tracks because one of the channels dropped out late in the show. I didn't go back and fix the audio when Robert and I were talking because I thought it would take too long, but I didn't think it was fair to the musicians for you not to hear both of their channels, in case they had anything recorded in stereo.

I regret not getting this out sooner, because I think this might be the format of the future. We'll see if I am even able to do the Lawcast next summer. Brian and I discussed a bit about the future of the Lawcast on the last episode, but I go into a bit more detail in the most recent OpenSourcePlayground.org article.

Here's a followup email Robert sent me
Hi Doug:

Thanks for having me on the jazzcast. I appreciate it.

I woke up this morning eager to sort out all my confusions on the pre-1972 issues.

Here is what I learned:

1. as you discussed on the podcast, pre-1972 federal law did not protect sound recordings. The 1972 Act began that protection as to recordings from mid-February 1972. The 1976 act continued and incorporated the protection. Though the 1976 act provided for pre-emption of state law in some areas as to published works, state law is not pre-empted as to pre 1972 sound recordings until 2067.

2. state copyright law still applies to pre-1972 acts. Though the Copyright Office recommended passage of a savings statute,
I did not locate that one has passed, and believe I erred when I inferred that from a quick reading of the Copyright Office materials.

3. The field of state law copyright protection heated up when the New York state Court of Appeals held that the DMCA safe harbor does not apply to state copyright claims in pre-1972 matters, in a suit denying that key affirmative defense to 
Grooveshark. http://www.citizen.org/documents/NYAppDIvOpin.pdf

So it looks like I muddied up the podcast because 

a. then and now, it looks like  federal copyright protection in pre-Feb-1972 sound recordings is limited to the elements (lyrics, music, etc.) and not the recording itself and that state law copyright applies and
b. though the Copyright Office recommended a fix, no fix yet applies, and
c. state law in most states does provide (patchwork) protection for these works and
d. the DMCA's protection for broadcasters may not apply to infringement of these works under state law

Sorry to get it wrong on the show!

best, Bob

After a crazy wedding weekend, the 4th of July (well, technically, it's not after the 4th right now) and recording a couple more shows, I'm finally getting out the show that should have been out on Monday. Oh well.

Last week's guest, Kevin MacLeod, has his own Wikipedia page. You might learn some things to add to the page during this week's show. If you don't find anything new, you'll definitely find something on Ryno's Jazzcast After Party. And if you're looking for his complete catalog, check out http://incompetech.com/.

Thanks as always, to Ryno, for twiddling the knobs.

See below the fold for the puny show notes I took during the show.

Jazzcast Summer Series: Episode #4 with Andrea from the FMA

Andrea on Twitter

On this week's Jazzcast, we have Andrea, from the Free Music Archive. Of course, all of her tracks are featured on the FMA! If you prefer to just listen to the music and not us talking, you can check out Andrea's playlist.

I should also mention that we had some serious problems with Skype this show. The music still sounds great, but there might be some weird edits with the discussion between tracks.

Yesterday, May 23rd, Craig of the Open Metalcast and Doug did a live Jazzcast on Google Hangout and on Ryno's 24/7 stream. It was an experiment...that failed. Everyone got to enjoy 5 awesome tracks though.

I (Doug) am not sure what is next for the jazzcast. Next week is a short week in the states due to Memorial Day and Craig and I moved things up a week. Thus, no Jazzcast next week. After that though, I plan on releasing weekly Jazzcasts.

I'm also doing a bi-weekly Punkcast series. The first show for that has been recorded with David Rovics and should be released in the coming days. The next Punkcast guest is Louis Lingg and the Bombs. If you want, you can follow the changing schedule. The color coding on the schedule means something to me. Maybe I'll get a key up eventually.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in coming on the show either as a guest that loves jazz or as musician that records jazz. I'd also like to know how people would like to consume the show. Is Google Hangout a waste? Do you like interviews more than guest hosts? Let me know!

Anyway, enough yapping, below is the music. I didn't bother recreating the banter Craig and I had because due to technical details, there wasn't much. Actually, the intro went well on the Google Hangout side, so we'll start off with that.

As you can see, Craig loves Magnatune.
