        I use your jasrac importer for songs they have their DB
      • 2014-01-22 02231, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        *for the songs they have in their DB
      • 2014-01-22 02236, 2014

      • jesus2099
        oh cool,
      • 2014-01-22 02252, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        I'm eating words. that's a sign I should head to sleep soon
      • 2014-01-22 02207, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        I'll send the RFV before that, though
      • 2014-01-22 02215, 2014

      • jesus2099
        songs that are not there are either too much indie or either on a release that too much recent… it takes several weeks before you can see new release in both minc and jasrac
      • 2014-01-22 02249, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        none of songs I added in past weeks are in JASRAC
      • 2014-01-22 02258, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        too indie for their tastes
      • 2014-01-22 02212, 2014

      • jesus2099
        not taste… it’s just that artist didn’t get in touch with them
      • 2014-01-22 02227, 2014

      • jesus2099
        they didn’t took the optio nto make their royalties managed by JASRAC
      • 2014-01-22 02247, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        I suppose so. they're not on big labels anyway
      • 2014-01-22 02249, 2014

      • jesus2099
        it’s probably not free
      • 2014-01-22 02204, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        I'd assume so. big labels might have a discount
      • 2014-01-22 02210, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        meanwhile, mortals...
      • 2014-01-22 02259, 2014

      • reosarevok
        Heh
      • 2014-01-22 02208, 2014

      • reosarevok
        I thought it was "mandatory" in Japan
      • 2014-01-22 02216, 2014

      • jesus2099
        reosarevok: second time you say “heh”
      • 2014-01-22 02235, 2014

      • jesus2099
        well, not
      • 2014-01-22 02210, 2014

      • Nyanko-sensei
        it's mandatory for big labels, not everyone
      • 2014-01-22 02214, 2014

      • jesus2099
        in france where it’s SACEM… if you write music, you are not mandatory to submit subscribe SACEM…… it’s just you won’t be (as) protected if you don’t
      • 2014-01-22 02235, 2014

      • jesus2099
        so these stuff are never mandatory… it’s just whether you choose or not their protection
      • 2014-01-22 02245, 2014

      • jesus2099
        their care
      • 2014-01-22 02218, 2014

      • jesus2099
        and in exchange they will make all their efforst to collect your royalties each time your music is played, sold etc.
      • 2014-01-22 02244, 2014

      • warp
        jesus2099: the contracts often involve the artist giving up lots of rights, so many smaller artists are not that keen on them.
      • 2014-01-22 02207, 2014

      • jesus2099
        giving up what kind of rights ? i must say i’m surprised
      • 2014-01-22 02225, 2014

      • jesus2099
        it officially means you make your rights stand up
      • 2014-01-22 02212, 2014

      • jesus2099
        oh maybe the rights to distribute some stuff for free or such…… ? maybe i don’t know the detils but i see some licenced artist still giving gifts away…

      • 2014-01-22 02247, 2014

      • Freso
        jesus2099: I assume SACEM is similar to the Danish KODA. For songs you submit to KODA, you basically give up all rights to manage that music yourself.
      • 2014-01-22 02216, 2014

      • reosarevok
        In Spain at least for example, your rights to play them in a concert without the venue having to pay a "tax" on them
      • 2014-01-22 02220, 2014

      • Freso
        So you can't give permission (according to the KODA contract) for someone else to use your music, even if you think they're great, without getting KODA involved.
      • 2014-01-22 02214, 2014

      • Freso
        Which has also meant that you couldn't release music under e.g. Creative Commons licenses if you also had it registered with KODA.
      • 2014-01-22 02256, 2014

      • Freso
        KODA now has some CC license options, but only BY-NC or something like that. Last I checked, there weren't any CC ones without the NC clause anyway.
      • 2014-01-22 02257, 2014

      • jesus2099
        but you can make some recordings that you don’t submit to them even if you submit most of yours… so you can make a CC from time to time
      • 2014-01-22 02203, 2014

      • warp
        jesus2099: I think with Buma/Stemra (the dutch one) the copyrights of all of the works by the artist are signed over to the the copyright collective, so the artist can do very little with their own stuff.
      • 2014-01-22 02214, 2014

      • Freso
        Yeah.
      • 2014-01-22 02238, 2014

      • jesus2099
        reosarevok: i doubt they would block a cover performance, it’s just that they want to make sure the royalty is paid in return, no ?
      • 2014-01-22 02248, 2014

      • reosarevok
        I'm not talking of a cover
      • 2014-01-22 02250, 2014

      • jesus2099
        those are made for the artists, like a syndicate…
      • 2014-01-22 02253, 2014

      • reosarevok
        I'm talking of the original band
      • 2014-01-22 02217, 2014

      • Freso
        jesus2099: That's what they claim, yes. :)
      • 2014-01-22 02221, 2014

      • jesus2099
        and maybe this “tax” is actually your copyright and it will return to yuo ?
      • 2014-01-22 02234, 2014

      • reosarevok
        If the original band wants to play for free (for a charity concert or whatever, or because they're their friends), the venue still needs to pay a part of the income to this society
      • 2014-01-22 02239, 2014

      • Freso
        jesus2099: Sure, but if the tax leads to them not getting played at all.
      • 2014-01-22 02242, 2014

      • Freso
        ..
      • 2014-01-22 02252, 2014

      • jesus2099
        i think in the end, the artist is winner
      • 2014-01-22 02252, 2014

      • reosarevok
        Which *might* eventually return to you, but that's not what you wanted to happen with the money :p
      • 2014-01-22 02224, 2014

      • jesus2099
        if you don’t subnscribe one of them, i can’t imagine you’re able to manage anything yourslef
      • 2014-01-22 02228, 2014

      • Freso
        I'm not saying organisations like SACEM/KODA/etc. are all bad, just that they're not all good. :)
      • 2014-01-22 02229, 2014

      • jesus2099
        and still being creative etc.
      • 2014-01-22 02229, 2014

      • reosarevok
        Also in Spain at least, only the top sellers have any decision power, and usually for smaller artists they don't even bother to pay them unless they require them to
      • 2014-01-22 02256, 2014

      • reosarevok
        (so, you have to write to them and be like "dudes, you have my money" - if you don't, after a few years, they keep it)
      • 2014-01-22 02256, 2014

      • Freso
        (But definitely better than the big record labels regardless.)
      • 2014-01-22 02218, 2014

      • Freso
        KODA is better in that regard... but then, Denmark vs. Spain... I'm not surprised. :p
      • 2014-01-22 02226, 2014

      • reosarevok
        heh
      • 2014-01-22 02230, 2014

      • reosarevok
        I mean, it might be a bit better now
      • 2014-01-22 02231, 2014

      • jesus2099
        “heh” again ?
      • 2014-01-22 02238, 2014

      • jesus2099
         ;)
      • 2014-01-22 02242, 2014

      • reosarevok
        After the previous board was arrested for corruption :p
      • 2014-01-22 02247, 2014

      • Freso
        Anyway. I need to get packed and leave for my class.
      • 2014-01-22 02249, 2014

        wow ha ha
      • 2014-01-22 02208, 2014

      • reosarevok
        But probably not much better
      • 2014-01-22 02220, 2014

      • reosarevok
        Freso: naaah, they got arrested! They're an anomaly
      • 2014-01-22 02227, 2014

      • reosarevok
        Normally they'd just get away with it
      • 2014-01-22 02247, 2014

      • reosarevok
        But go go go
      • 2014-01-22 02252, 2014

      • jesus2099
        [Spain’s] it might be a bit better now
      • 2014-01-22 02253, 2014

      • warp
        that they got arrested just means they're less competent than their counterparts in other countries. ;)
      • 2014-01-22 02215, 2014

      • jesus2099
        [Spain’s] it might be a bit better now after the previous board was arrested for corruption ← wow ha ha  :D
      • 2014-01-22 02217, 2014

      • reosarevok
        And that their counterparts in politics and large companies, yeah
      • 2014-01-22 02235, 2014

      • reosarevok
        (or less friendly with the justice / police, dunno)
      • 2014-01-22 02253, 2014

      • reosarevok
        (which I guess in these positions, and in Spain, does imply "less competent" :p)

      • Mineo
        probably not to me in germany, but I wouldn't expect the shipping to make the CDs much more expensive than the downloads
      • 2014-01-22 02245, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop
        lets see... with shipping to canada, the flac is cheaper than the cds.
      • 2014-01-22 02232, 2014

      • reosarevok
        I mean, they should surely be at most the same before shipping though?
      • 2014-01-22 02245, 2014

      • reosarevok
        FLAC bandwidth isn't *that* expensive

        adding covers is so much fun. Especially when you're a vegetable and don't feel like doing anything

        Unsure whether that's ironic and it's a pain, or it's so much mindless work that it doesn't feel like doing "real" stuff :p

        well, not ironic at least. Perhaps more to the mindless side. As for pain… http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-6738 could receive more attention 😃
