Record Label Infringes Own Copyright
This isn't exactly a writing issue, but it is copyright and strange enough that it should provide some dark humor. An Internet-based record label that uses Creative Commons licensing, to give people free use of the music, had its web site taken down by the company that hosted it. Why? Because it was infringing the copyright of the music. Who owned the music? The record label. Then the site demanded paper copies of the copyright registrations, even though the owners hadn't registered copyright because, after all, they were looking to give it all away. Thank heaven's for corporate America's keen understanding of intellectual property issues.
