White + Black = Grey
White + Black = Grey
02/18/2004 01:24 PM DJ Danger Mouse has been
making waves recently with his
Grey Album that cross-pollinates
the music of
The Beatles'
classic
White Album with the lyrics and delivery of
Jay-Z's
recent swan song, the
Black Album. The results?
"One of
the more interesting pirate mashups ever done." (
Pitchfork).
"Most ambitious remix."
(
Village
Voice).
"As fun as it is daring." (
Boston Globe).
"Ultimate
remix record." (
Roll
ing Stone). Not surprisingly,
EMI is far from
amuse
d by the unsanctioned and unapproved project and the limited
release
will no longer be distributed. So,
download it now
(or check out these
Real Player
samples).

The Black and White about Grey Tuesday
03/06/2004 01:51 AMThe Grey Album is a remix of Jay-Z's
Black Album and the
Beatles'
White Album by DJ Danger Mouse. It is a remix without
permission. In our legal system, permission is required to remix
others' art (except if the work is in the public domain, and of
course, nothing enters the public domain anymore). The Grey Album is
therefore
illegal art.
Today is
Grey Tuesday -- a
day set by many to protest the war waged on the Grey Album. Sites
across the net are posting the Grey Album. Go
here to see scads of sites
engaging in this act of disobedience. Lawyers representing EMI have
already started warning the sites about the legal liability they face.
Under American law, you don't need permission to make a cover album.
That freedom has been assured since 1909 when Congress granted
creators a compulsory right to remake music, so long as a small fee
was paid. The record companies have fought hard to defend that
compulsory right. As a 1967 Congressional report put it:
The record producers argued vigorously that the compulsory
license system must be retained. They asserted that the record
industry is a half-billion-dollar business of great economic
importance in the United States and throughout the world; records
today are the principal means of disseminating music, and this creates
special problems, since performers need unhampered access to musical
material on nondiscriminatory terms. Historically, the record
producers pointed out, there were no recording rights before 1909 and
the 1909 statute adopted the compulsory license as a deliberate
anti-monopoly condition on the grant of these rights. They argue
that the result has been an outpouring of recorded music, with the
public being given lower prices, improved quality, and a greater
choice.
Copyright Law Revision, Committee on the
Judiciary, 90th Cong. 1st, Sess., Rep. No. 83 66 (March 8, 1967)
(emphasis added).
But the cover right does not cover a remix. So DJ Danger Mouse must,
under the law, ask permission before he can practice his art.
Some artists think this is fair. Some don't like the idea of their
work used without permission. What if Disney remixed DJ Danger Mouse
into a re-release of Mickey-jailed-since-1928-Mouse, without asking or
paying first?
And indeed, it is just this defense that the record companies offer
first: we're just enforcing the wish of the copyright owners. This is
not, they say, a record company cartel. This is about the rights of
artists.
But that defense would be more credible if the record companies were
to allow artists the choice to set their content free for remix at
least. We've been working with
Gilberto Gil to push a
sampling
license, under which artists could set their music free for
dangerous mice and others to remix. But we've yet to find a record
company that will allow their artists this freedom. Indeed, the legal
department at Vivendi purported to ban us from "approaching" "their"
artists.
Should the law give DJ Danger Mouse the right to remix without
permission?
I think so, though I understand how others find the matter a
bit more grey.
Should the law give DJ Danger Mouse a compulsory right to remix? That
is, the right, conditioned upon his paying a small fee per sale?
Again, I think so, and again, you might find this a bit less
grey.
But should the record companies give artists the right to choose to
free their content so that artists like DJ Danger Mouse could remix
without seeking permission first?
There is nothing grey about that question. It is absolutely black and
white. Artists should at least have the right to free their content to
mash or remix. And record companies absolutely should not stand in the
way of at least that.
After doing so much to destroy their reputation in the eyes of most
consumers and artists, signaling at least this would be a useful first
step towards showing that the record companies care about "their"
artists first.

Nintendo is launching the black and white versions of the
Nintendo DS in Japan today, in case you're in the market for a
slightly nicer looking model. I'm glad I have a DS, if for the
first-party Nintendo games if nothing else (Advance Wars and Animal
Crossing will take up plenty of my time) but I still can't help but
look at my PSP sitting just beyond the DS and wonder what, exactly,
it's going to take for Nintendo to recover from Sony's onslaught. It's
going to take a lot more than colored DSes, for sure.

White men bad; white dogs worse
04/05/2005 09:24 AMWe spent the weekend in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with an
anthropologist friend who has two 3-year-old bitches (Lab and
Husky) and 4 acres of land on which Alex and Sammy
could play with them. One of the nice things about colleges
located in areas where real estate is cheap is that the professors
live close to the campus and are available to students for informal
dinners and shared extracurricular activities. Thus over the
weekend we encountered a few other Gettysburg College
professors. I asked one of them whether faculty could bring
their dogs to work. She replied "The college's Affirmative
Action lawyer, before she left, made up a lot of new rules. One
of them was that junior and senior faculty could not sleep
together. Another was to ban dogs in the buildings."
This is a good measure of how desperate PhDs are for jobs as
college professors. The college pays lower salaries, to people
of the same age, as the public high school down the street. The
high school teachers were able to go to work at age 22 without
suffering through a long period of starvation wages as graduate
assistants. The high school teachers are union members who ever
have to worry about losing their job, compared to the college
professors who live for 7 years in fear of being tossed out as a
middle-aged has-been ("denied tenure" is the polite term for this
event). And now these poor souls are expected to get through
their day without a dog at their side and without the possibility of
an interlude with a more senior professor.
[Note to parents: if you want to know why tuition prices have
risen so fast, consider that a very small liberal arts school was
paying a full-time lawyer to work on affirmative action; Walmart has a
"Chief Diversity Officer" but they had $billions in revenue over which
to spread the cost.]

Looks like all those pastel
PSPs Sony was showing at E3 were just a tease. According to an
interview in Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Sony claims the
various color PSPs were "just for reference. We plan to make the
system black." I wouldn't worry too much, though. I'm sure if the PSP
does well at all, color models will start showing up in no time at
all.

No one who has read The Boondocks
has a neutral opinion about its writer, Aaron McGruder. You either
love
him or hate him, or vacillate between the two extremes. The
twenty-something radical leftie is working on a Simpsons-style
animated
series that will air, ironically, on Fox, probably next year, and as
the New Yorker reported last
month,
he's managed to outrage almost everyone of every political stripe,
including other cartoonists who say that he's gotten lazy (the strip
is
now drawn by Jennifer Seng, though McGruder still does the writing),
and that he's relentless to the point of being tedious and unfunny. He
is the most banned cartoonist in history, with many of the 300+ papers
carrying the strip having cut it at one time or another. But as I
think
the above strip from last week shows, McGruder's biting wit has lost
none of its edge, and demonstrates a fearlessness that goes beyond
even
what Doonsbury and Bloom County achieved.

Brown's
The
Da Vinci Code. From Reuters:
"A lot of novels do good but this book is rotten food
... it does harm, not good," Bertone said in the 30-minute interview
in the offices of the Vatican's doctrinal department.
"This book is a sack full of lies against the Church, against the real
history of Christianity and against Christ himself," said Bertone,
archbishop of northern Genoa.... "I would ask the author of this book
and similar ones to be more respectful because freedom of expression
has limits when it does not respect others," he said...
Bertone said he was stunned that Catholic bookstores, even those near
the Vatican, were selling the book.
"It's impossible to pull the book off shelves of general bookstores
... but certainly not selling it in Catholic bookstores would be a
good first step," he said.
