Bill, you are reminding me of the groundedness and goodness of the folks
we meet whenever we dance and travel cross country. Thank you for
pointing out that we can still
trust in folks to be honest,
have faith in the folk process,
take pleasure in the creativity that enlivens us all,
and "relieve stress" by not holding on to fear in the first place....

Hi all, I've been reading the mail here for a
while, time to speak up I guess. I'm not sure I get what the problem is.. I admit I
haven't read all the posts completely, but I guess I want to ask if there has actually
been a problem..
i.e.:
Has a choreographer had his or her work used in a way he/she deems inappropriate?
Has anyone been sued or has legal action been discussed in reference to any of this?
Is anyone here REALLY WORRIED about this or is this just an intellectual exercise?
I really don't understand the "licensing" of dance compositions.. What is
the purpose of this, and what is it meant to prevent from happening??
I for one am happy for anyone to call dances I have composed.. I do not need you to
contact me ahead of time and I will not sue you if you call these dances without my
permission. If you put them in a book I will not be unhappy and you do not need to get my
permission, though that would be nice and proper credit would be nice too. If you claim
the dance is YOURS and then sell it for LOTS of money, I WILL be unhappy but I STILL will
not sue you.. I doubt that will happen so I am not "preparing for that
eventuality".
Just my view of things, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I guess..
bill
should I push "send" now???? oh what the heck, here goes..

http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers regarding to calling a CC BY-NC dance at a paid
event: is it in fact noncommercial use?
Sounds commercial to me. The text from
the license is:
"You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3
above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation." --

I think the relevant right would be to "Publicly Perform the Work".
You're getting paid to call, so "directed toward private monetary
compensation" sounds applicable.
