Record Labels File $412 Million Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Internet Archive

UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, Sony Music Entertainment, Capitol, and other record labels filed a copyright lawsuit on Friday against Internet Archive, founder Brewster Kahle, and others over the organization’s “Great 78 Project,” accusing them of behaving as an “illegal record store.” The suit lists 2,749 pre-1972 musical works available via Internet Archive by late artists, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Chuck Berry, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Bing Crosby, among others.

Well yeah... copyright should not be infringed. It lasts 70 years after the writer deceased.

Sorry if link was dead. Publishers also sueing Internet Archive over books. I'm sure the TV and movie people aren't far behind. Is this the end of the Wayback Machine

...about damn time. As I wrote in viewtopic.php?t=609208&start=15 thread. It's the double measure that was irritating me. If I remix or cover a song covered by copyright and a label founds about it, I risk being sued to oblivion. Yet it looked like when Suno and Udio make their monetized remix machines, everything is OK and legal.

That's not the case My Distributor has a weird Cover copyright sharing thing where if you do a cover or a remix you have to share the royalties with the original artists. You have to do your research and find out songwriters and such, but I've already done it with one remix and it went off without a hitch. Now, I don't know if they have to agree to it or how it works, so I'm pretty sure if you did a Beatles remix that wouldn't fly. But you might get away with a Cover.

You know, on the one hand I appreciate what they do, on the other hand, they have become increasingly more entitled (the archive) over the years. They've made it rather difficult to have personal content removed from the archive. If you have some personal pages on there from some time in the past that serve no real purpose in terms of internet history, you have to jump through hoops to get it removed. Years ago it was quite a bit easier. When you interact with them they act as if you have some kind of responsibility to preserve history as well.

I don't want point and click or text form music. That's not really music. And if it's stealing our ideas, get rid of it.
Think of it, some of those kinds of sites might be trained on SoundCloud too.

Copyright industry simply couldn't stomach the fact that they might chanced into doing something beneficial to society by suing ML companies, so they had to throw Internet Archive under the bus to balance it out, didn't they?

Napster beget iTunes, so who's to say.
