        ^ reminds of some years ago when KODA (the Danish musicians' rights agency) wanted music bloggers to pay tariffs when they used embedded music from YouTube, SoundCloud, or other places in their blog posts.
      • But I can't find any English language articles about that.
      • :/

      • CallerNo6 wonders how he feels about [space]
      • chirlu`
        Well, at least there is lots of room to make it more than the ~5 people currently there.
      • CallerNo6
        5 people, but at least one recording
      • so think what 150 bored soldiers might do
      • CatQuest
        wait what so what if oyu're one of the 150 military people? that doesntm ake sense
      • make even
      • CallerNo6
        well, I imagine he's joking, while also pointing out that making a pulldown list that tries to include everything might be overkill
      • CatQuest
        uhm..
      • have you seen our pulldown lists latly?
      • CallerNo6
        uh oh. should I?
      • chirlu`
        We even have an editor who claims to be in the USMOI. ;-)
      • wardhan
        hi all. the following is given on cd back : "all songs composed, arranged & produced". producer option is availabel for recording only but not to work. should i create relationship for all the recordings ?
      • CallerNo6
        that's awesome. 149 bored soldiers to go.
      • wardhan
        arranger option is available for both recording & work. which one should i use ?
      • CallerNo6
        wardhan: for arranger, generally the recording. the exception would be if an arrangement is considered a new (derivative) work.
      • reoafk
        Yes, producer on recordings
      • And yes, for arranger, for non-classical music, recording by default
      • wardhan
        ok, both arranger & producer should be updated on recordings.
      • ok, one more qustion: how should i update "executive music producer" ?
      • CallerNo6
        "executive" is an attribute of the "producer" relationship.
      • wardhan
        ok, got it. i have seen all attributes for producer. please excuse for asking stupid question.
      • CallerNo6
        there are no stupid questions, only stupid music videos.
      • CatQuest
        LOL
      • \o/ CallerNo6
      • CallerNo6
        Is "executive producer" more an artist-release relationship, rather than artist-recording?
      • I see it's available for both, but it sounds to me like a release-leve role.
      • portik joined the channel
      • wardhan
        callerno6: are u saying about arranger should be updated at release level rather than recording ? arranger is also available relase level.
      • i am trying to update data for a movie soundtrack.
      • oops... i mixed up things.. are u saying about arranger should be " are u saying about producer" :)
      • CallerNo6
        wardhan: no, not arranger
      • KRSCuan joined the channel
      • but I'm not sure about executive producer
      • hopefully somebody else will comment
      • Freso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9c_KttvQPU
      • wardhan
        callerno6: ok. we will wait for some more time about clarification about exec producer ;)
      • drsaunde
        link executive producer credits to releases and not recordings or works
      • Freso is trying hard to resist the temptation to go to the video poster's site and download his recordings to add them to MB... :|
      • CatQuest
        u about u about u
      • what?
      • Freso: \o/
      • Freso
        wat?
      • wardhan
        drsaunde: so, i should be linking at release level for exec producer. should i do same for producer also ?
      • Freso
        wardhan: Regular producer so go per-recording.
      • CatQuest
        how did you know I was looking for sounds to put on the sd card in my bedroom player in the night
      • :D
      • Freso
        *should go
      • CatQuest: Did I never tell you that I'm psychic?
      • CatQuest
        :O
      • Freso
        Man. Clairvoyance is a bitch. I can never figure out whether I have done something yet or if it's something that I'm going to do in the future. :(
      • wardhan
        freso: ok, now it is making some sense to me :)
      • CallerNo6
        Freso can't read his own mind?
      • drsaunde
        wardhan: most credits will go to the recordings, the exceptions are the ones that relate to the entire package like: mastering, executive producer, A&R, photography, design, artwork

      • CallerNo6 is still waiting for the plot twist in the crickets vid

      • CallerNo6
        maybe it's one of those not-twists, like the apocalypse comes but the ten gallon container of crickets just keeps chirping.

        How often does area_bot scan?
      • (my memory is fuzzy)
      • I need Suwon for a death area for 2 Ladies' Code members
      • (that article is from 3 days ago; Rise died this morning Korea time)
      • JesseW
        HibiscusKazeneko: every 2 hours, AFAIR
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        ah
      • JesseW

      • drsaunde
        area bot has been broken for last 2-3 months after last schema change
      • chirlu`
        area_bot is down, so doesn’t run at all.
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        well fuck
      • drsaunde
        i have a list of 100s i'm waiting on
      • JesseW
        argh
      • is there a ticket?
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        Sounds like we need to appoint more area editors
      • drsaunde
        i'm pretty sure reosarevok is not almost permanently afk here because he doesn't want to add any for me
      • *not=now
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        That or he's bogged down
      • JesseW thinks that is more likely
      • HibiscusKazeneko is bogged down herself
      • Freso
        HibiscusKazeneko: More area editors won't get area_bot up and running sooner...
      • CallerNo6 doesn't go afk. he becomes caller#503
      • In fact, anyone can help get that done.
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        It will diminish the wait time somewhat
      • (especially for aread area_bot doesn't see)
      • CatQuest
        CallerNo6: that would be more appropriate if cockroaches?
      • :D
      • CallerNo6
        bruthas from anutha mutha
      • okay, maybe not
      • JesseW
        Freso: where is the source code for area_bot?
      • according to http://musicbrainz.org/user/area_bot, the 3-hour task isn't running not for a technical reason, but because: "not currently running because the current implementation has encouraged a small number of people to enter bad data into Wikidata in order to get an area added to MusicBrainz."
      • CatQuest literally lol
      • CatQuest
        JesseW: I was worried about that. that's too bad
      • everyoby: don't be that guy and do that
      • ersj
      • everybody*
      • CallerNo6
        woah. people were gaming the area system?
      • JesseW
        apparently...
      • CatQuest shakes head inhouse style
      • CatQuest
        anyone doing that should be getting a nope fro mwikidata imediatly imho
      • JesseW
        I'm trying to look through the history of area_bot's edits, and see if I can find the problematic ones...
      • CatQuest hopes it wasn't accidentally him somehow :/
      • HibiscusKazeneko wonders the same thing
      • CatQuest
        come on, give me some credit :/
      • :P
      • HibiscusKazeneko
        I was worried it was me, not you
      • CatQuest
        I know, hench the ":P"
      • but he same thing is. literally
      • drsaunde
        502s and 504 getting even worse for me now (over 80% of the time) .. guess i have to give up and do something else
      • derwin
        (what is the deal with those, btw? I continue to sorta not get how they can be this persistent.. :/)
      • portik
        same with me. but i'm in editing mood... i don't know what to do
      • JesseW
        derwin: afaik, it's lack of money for hardware...
      • derwin
        hrm, on the one hand I understand that, on the the other hand, there are often other approaches to optimization
      • and availability
      • JesseW
        heh
      • I don't know the details, certainly.
