From TSO?

I would recommend getting it from i tunes or some other on line music store.

If you want it from TSO, its on there new night castle cd (very good cd I must say), might be best to just go buy the CD so you can digitalize it directly to MP3 (itunes does not give you mp3 files, or a file type that works in LOR) though I do wish LOR could use I tunes music Directly, since my whole collection of music in on my computer using I tunes.

Linda,

Asking anyone for musical files is illegal. So, please do not ask anyone to share a musical file.

We will point you to a hard to find file that you can buy on-line or suggest a CD that has it. But no sharing. Could get Dan in trouble if someone suggested that this is another Napster site.

As to converting files from one format to another, try Audacity (SP?). Sorry I am a fairly bad speller. Try a search for the above mentioned program. If I am close enough most search engines will suggest the correct spelling. Its free..


BTW good choice of a song. :D

No one should be asking for music files. I dont know how old you are, but have you ever heard of the legal battles around Napster when it was a file swapping site? Add in the chinees Kazza I think is how it is spelt. Anyway, dont worry about it.

And people need to warn off anyone who actually wants someone to GIVE them a music file.

Oh, and I am now home and see the spelling of the program is Audacity. Great little program for the cost..:)

I believe you misunder stood what was said what I said was you can purchase the file from I-tunes and then convert it yourself, it is perfectly legal to do this and yes you are correct it is illegal to share music files, if you want to know how to convert the file pm me. :D

Any how Linda figured it out and good for you to point out to all the newbies that sharing music is illegal, as for my age lets just say I might be a bit older than you

Actual there has been legal issues around converting file formats....

But you can convert an i tunes file to mp3 inside itunes.


Interesting. I have not heard about the format issue before. What seems to be their problem with just converting the format? Do you happen to know?

Thanks for the heads up.

No problem Max and merry Christmas to you and yours, I-tunes does offer a conversion when you downlaod I-tunes to your computer I would think if it was illegal they wouldn't offer this service. :D:D

Most requests are for *sequences*, not audio files. Although I'm pretty sure there is a lot of "hush hush" trading of audio behind the scenes-- some don't find a problem with that, unfortunately, and look at it as "helping out a friend in need".

Well Actually it isn't illegal to ask for it but it is illegal to share it with others. Due to the RIAA copyright laws claiming that they weren't making enough money to cover all of the Bentley's, mansions, and yachts.

Legal or not nothing wrong with friends sharing music or anything else! It is not illegal to ask , it is illegal to copy and distribute.



I'm sorry, that sounded like Hilary asking what is "IS". Dang give this man a cigar for double speach. I bet your a defence lawyer..;)

If you are sharing, then you must have copied and distributed. Thus you just broke the law by sharing.. When you bought that CD or single hit off of ITunes or where ever. You bought that song for your own use / purpose. This does not give you freedom to give a copy to a friend. The original is to stay with you and no copies are allowed. This is what RIAA is sueing people over. And to an extent the WMA (hope I have that one correct) is forcing YouTube to shut down some videos. Yes as csf said, they want their money for producing the product. Its like going into wally world and walking out with a new wide screen TV. I dont suppose you think that is ok do you?

You are correct sir! It is not illegal to ask someone to break the law. But giving music, even to "friends", is breaking the law.

On the other hand, it would be silly to ask someone to do something without some expectation that they will follow through.

Enough already! I had no idea that my question would get so much attention. I think we all get the point, so why don't you guys just get back to your displays............:X

I asked this question on PC and I will asked it here.

Just because we buy the music and put it to a sequence does that give us the right to show it public?

Are there laws that say you cannot show a video without permission, sometimes called ""Public Performance", or Public Exhibition" ........says so on the back of some Videos and DVD's. So is it right for us to use video in our display?

Some use video in their show but even if you own it for your own "private use" that does not give any one the right to show it "publicly".

I guess someone should post copyright laws that says "Yes you have the right to show music video's in your display just as long as there is no money involved".

Where is the proof that what we are doing is legal to begin with even if we own the music?

Just wondering if anyone checked into this.

Check this out:

Copyright and the Public Domain Authors own the exclusive rights to their compositions. This is called a copyright, and the composition is protected for many years--even if the copyright is never registered with the copyright office. A composition is considered to be "intellectual property" The copyright may be sold, transferred, or inherited--but the copyright still endures. If any music or lyrics are still under copyright protection

  • you CANNOT reproduce the music or lyrics
  • you CANNOT distribute the music or lyrics either for free, for no profit, or for profit
  • you CANNOT perform the music or lyrics in public
  • you CANNOT play a recording of the music or lyrics in public--even if you own the CD
  • you CANNOT make a derivative work or arrangement for public use in any form

Legally a copyright means that a musician, author, or artist has a "limited duration monopoly" on anything he creates. The US Constitution grants the government power "to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." (Article 1 Section 8, US Constitution). To legally enforce an author's claim to his copyright, his work must be registered with the copyright office. Registering a composition provides public notification of copyright, and you cannot use the composition publicly unless you pay royalties--which can be substantial. If you use a song under copyright without the owner's permission, you are subject to legal repercussions.


You can "candy coat it" and say it is not a public issue, but when we play a sequence with a copyright song we are breaking the law according to the above statement even if we own the music.
