Infringement or fair use: Knowing the difference

Infringement or fair use: Knowing the difference | consumer psychology | Scoop.it

"Copyright is complicated, particularly in the music industry ..."

Tykee Sanders's curator insight, November 17, 2019 10:25 PM
I actually chose this article because I believe it is extremely important for individuals, and groups, to know the difference when it comes to infringement. A lot of people are not fully aware of all the rules and regulations that are behind it. Knowing that will not only help people keep their works honest, but it will also avoid court cases and disputes, information is power. This source of information seems very reliable. The website has social media links, as well as, an area for other members of the website to comment. The information was well organized, and there were not any ads that would have someone go to suspicious websites. I definitely believe that professionals can comfortably obtain information from this website. The information provided can all be traced back to true and relevant information.

Michael Wiles's curator insight, August 22, 2021 11:38 PM
This article details the conflict of copyright work and streaming services. Which can be a situation that is poorly handled, and can make or break a company. This becomes the problem with most streaming services, where artists claim they are not being properly paid for royalties on their work, or they aren't being represented fairly. 
The author of this work was easy to find, and there was contact information available as well as a biography for the author. 
This news source is a credible source as it is listed on Forbes.com

Will streaming music kill songwriting? - The New Yorker

Will streaming music kill songwriting? - The New Yorker | consumer psychology | Scoop.it

Drexler John's curator insight, November 10, 2021 1:52 PM
This is a very informative article. I am learning this lesson for our subject right now, and I realize how much big of an impact copyright plays in making music. The idea of streaming services not  paying song writers properly, is truly sad and horrid to think about. I do feel hopeful and enthusiastic now, since the article was written 5 years ago, and surely streaming services have better regulations now than before. I still think though, that despite the improvements in the past years, there's more to be dealt with, in regards to streaming sites paying song writers well.  As someone who is an aspiring singer- songwriter and musician, this article gave me a gist, and helped me understand what I can expect if I upload my music in streaming sites.


The article shows a-lot of signs with regards to credibility. For starters , it is posted in a site called "The New Yorker", which is known for many articles and news that they post in a regular basis. The article may have been written 5 years prior, however its impact is still felt today, as song writers continue to battle streaming sites for more royalties in their art, and lawsuits with regards to mechanical copyright still persist. The author's credentials are written below the article, and you can clearly see based on them, why he is proficient in what he'd written.  The article also dictates experiences by people in the industry, so it adds relevance and authenticity. The purpose of this article is to inform both listeners and consumers about the state of the streaming industry, that may seem oblivious to both parties. It also somehow serves as a wake up call to have a deeper appreciation to indie and streamed music more. For anyone willing to enter the music industry, be it an artist, producer, engineer ,or even promoter, this article will surely give you a great gist of problems you might face yourself, or ones you'll face with your client.

I enjoyed the way this article gave a little more insight on how decisions are made in court when dealing with music cases. Also I liked the little back story in the beginning about the origin of the song. 

Vance Proctor's curator insight, July 22, 2016 4:03 PM

This going on everyday in Hollywood. I am starting to believe that artist think they can get away with it. Its hard for me to understand how a person would want to take some else stuff and make it their own.
