could this mean your cat has a right to a share of the money you make from the video you shot and posted without a signed consent form

Hey Mike,

I saw this story on Yahoo a while back. The picture the monkey took of himself smiling is so cute. You know this photographer probably really has lost a lot of money by wiki putting this in the public domain.

When I think about it - the photographer set everything up and purposely let the monkey play with his equipment. Then he cropped and edited the resulting image. If it had been a film wouldn't he be considered the producer - I don't see the big difference just because it's a still photograph. Saying that he is not the copyright holder because the monkey pushed the button is a real stretch. I hope the photographer wins this.

If you film something on your fixed security camera that turns out to be important/amusing, and you didn't purposely film it, who's the copyright owner then?
And what about CCTV in train stations, shops, city streets?
Bag of worms, huh?


Cheers,
Keith

I agree with Josie. Copyright's are to protect intellectual content. Intellectual content equals the intent of the creator for the product that is shared publicly.

In this instance, the monkey is the subject of the photo not the creator of the intellectual content. The cropped and edited picture by the photographer is the picture that was published not the unedited photo snapped by the monkey. The picture the monkey snapped contained no intellectual content and even if it had, the monkey is ineligible to copyright it. Wiki argues the ineligibility of the monkey to hold a copyright justifies it going into the public domain but does not resolve nor address the intellectual content which was solely created by the photographer.

My opinion is this disagreement appears to be over money and not intellectual content and the photographer should easily prevail.

it's not surprising to me that this would turn into a mess, because...

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
