16 Oct 99 - 08:12 PM (#124700) Subject: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: katlaughing Rather than have permissions granting Mudcat the rights to post any lyrics or tunes any of us may have written and to grant their use on Mudcat Radio, gathering dust in some of the longer or less recent threads, I thought it might help if we all posted our permission here, so that Max has them in one place. The Mudcat Cafe and Mudcat Foundation for Music, and all of its entities, have my express permission to use any and all lyrics and tunes which I have written and posted here or sent to them via cassette tape.

16 Oct 99 - 09:16 PM (#124710) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: Jon Freeman Apart from a few verses made up on the spot, I think the only bits of my own work I have posted were a poem called The Festival Shagger and a link to tune called Jayne's Jig. As far as I am concerned,with my work, unless I state otherwise at the time of posting, posting here automaticaly grants Mudcat and Mudcatters permision to use that piece of my work. The same does apply if I send a recording to Mudcat. The only thing I always ask is that if my work is used, that I am given the courtesy of acknowledgement e.g Written by Jon Freeman. Jon |

16 Oct 99 - 11:18 PM (#124735) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: DonMeixner Well Onon it may be absurd but its also human nature to rail against the machine. Nothing shows defiance quite like a naked, in your face and up you , ah, nose stand. I have poems and songs that I want people to see hear and enjoy but I want it to be my choice as to whether someone records my stuff. Not a group of initials with 60,000 titles in their fikes already and certainly not a bunch of lawyers. I'd like to get rich of a song I wrote but I'd also like to rail against the machine a bit too. The choice is mine. I can always get rich but a worthy fight doesn't come by that often. I rail away if you don't mind. Absurdity or not. Don |

17 Oct 99 - 02:44 AM (#124760) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: paddymac 'Tis true, moonchildwhotrysasshemightcouldneverbetrulyanonymous. That said, there is legal validity to a grant of permission by any poster of original material for its use by mudcat. However, granting the right to Mudcat to post or "publish" said material does not convey any right to 'catters or anybody else to use the material. Thus, if you want to have your material "distributed" via Mudcat, it is appropriate to expressly grant permission for such "publication", while reserving all performance rights. And, all that also said, please don't be so harsh to anonymous posters, here or in other threads. Judge their comments on content rather than anonymity.

To the anonymous "absurd" poster: You're probably right..it's amazing how I've been able to earn a living with an attitude like I have. By the way folks, once you've been an almost daily Mudcatter for a year, a little bit of simple deduction makes anonymous posters far less anonymous. Rick |

Mr. or Ms. Anonymous was just stating an opinion, and by the tone of late, remained anonymously smartly.

If this place were free from riducule, I too may have a problem with annonimity, but it isn't and I don't. Take a deep breath, smile, and go hug something.

17 Oct 99 - 02:41 PM (#124869) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: You could take the "this is absurd" statement two ways. The thread is absurd (I wish it were) or the reason for the paranoia is absurd, with which I agree. We have those around here who attack people simply because their name shows up. It seems now we have those who attack because there is no name. It would be nice if folks would argue with the words that were actually written instead of attacking the person who wrote them. |

17 Oct 99 - 03:48 PM (#124896) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: bbelle To "anonymous" ... If you considered my words an attack, I'm sorry you feel that way and apologize for allowing "my bulldog mounth get ahead of my chihuahua butt." One advantage to posting your name, or nickname, as it were, is that "we" may send you a personal message asking for a clarification of your words. Of course, you would have to become a member. As a rule among mudcatters, differing opinions on a subject are welcomed. Hatred based postings are not and will cause individuals to make a stand. Since your post was not the latter, a little explanation of your words may have helped. If you are a member who is more a lurker and is afraid of receiving feedback that doesn't necessarily agree with your ideas, try posting your name because you might be surprised ... moonchild |

17 Oct 99 - 04:26 PM (#124904) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: Rick Fielding Hey Max, the anonymous three word statement "This is Absurd", implies that the original poster and/or those who responded positively in order to help keep Mudcat afloat are hopelessly naieve, and probably quite out of touch with the "real world", or at least the music biz part of it. Even if generosity is perceived as absurd (for whatever reason) I think it might warrant at least two or three sentences of dissent and explanation. The other anonymous poster's claim that some are attacked here merely because their name comes up is patently untrue. When there is a hurtful posting it is sometimes (but not always) replied to in kind, because to defend oneself is human nature. Even a cursory look at the huge volume of Mudcat dialogue will reveal how few people initiate nastiness. Anyway, I've hugged the cats, (cause Heather's out) and since my questionable business acumen doesn't allow for a financial contribution, I'd be happy to contribute some leather carving to the cause. Since Bill Sables is doing straps and belts, how 'bout a Mudcat wall plaque, or carving of the musical artist of your choice? Sandy's got a "Green Man" and a Frank Proffit. Rick |

17 Oct 99 - 05:50 PM (#124928) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: Jeri I think if somebody with a name had said "this is absurd," we would have asked what he or she meant by that before calling him or her "cowardly" or "a piece of shit." There's more than one reason for posting anon. It could have been anyone. It could have been someone using a public computer. It could have been someone who can't stand the current level of suspicion and wanted to avoid numerous personal messages trying to convince him he's wrong. Although I have my theories, I don't know who it was, and I'll bet whoever said it sure as hell doesn't feel inclined to tell us now. |

So, , unless someone has access to all of our servers, Max can know who's who, or at least who's not who. Isn't that right? Jeri, I don't understand your comment about the "current level of suspicion". Posting anon can happen inadvertently, but no one picks on people who makes harmless comments without identifying themselves. It's those who drop n to a thread and make scathing comments, and insult otherposters, who piss everyone off (and rightly so). Reacting in a thread is the only option if someone doesn't identify themselves.

17 Oct 99 - 07:00 PM (#124950) Subject: RE: Give M'Cat permission to use your songs From: Jeri Cara, I said that about suspicion because of the recent thread with Christie from everywhere, where she was accused of being everybody including gargoyle. Some of that was funny, some was scary. Also we now have minions of at least one musicians' "protection" agency to worry about. We have people warning us to be careful what we post. The words "this is absurd" may have been a comment on that. I can't say - I wasn't the one who originally wrote them and I don't know what was in that person's mind. It's good we're giving Max, Dick and Susan our votes of confidence, but the reason we feel like we have to do it is bad. Anyhow, to quit picking nits and just being contrary, the Mudcat Cafe and Mudcat Foundation for Music, and all of its entities, have my express permission to use any and all lyrics and tunes which I have written and posted here. |

I hate to say it buddy, but you are not worth anymore of my hope. I try to see the good, and I used to like the prodding you would give us to cause us to examine our comments. I am afraid you are a lost cause. I will never respond to you again. You do not exist. And anyone who does even acknowledge your existence, in my opinion, is foolish, naieve, or just can't get past there own desire to hear themselves talk. So, Mudcatters, _gargoyle is no longer worth the effort. If you even respond to him, then you are foolish and I probably won't respond to you. Done, finished, he is gone. Thanks, Seed.

If I should ever write anything which any Mudcat member should ever want to perform, such Mudcat member is not merely permitted but strongly encouraged to perform it. In addition, I give the Digital Tradition and the Mudcat forum express and unlimited permission to publish any of my writings. I do ask that anyone using my creations give me the courtesy of acknowledgement, i.e. state that the song was written by Rita Ferrara, and add the caveat that--in the highly unlikely event that such a thing might happen--if my words and/or music be recorded and the recording be profitable that I receive the same consideration as given the writers of any other proprietary materials on the recording. Now, that said, if you ever want to publish /record any songs by any of the people who have made these statements, and if money is involved, maybe you should contact them and get a nice typed piece of paper giving you permission. First of all, it's a courtesy, and second of all, they may have changed their minds for some reason. And third, they may have changed the song or something and want you to use the new version, and who knows what other stuff might come up? - Rita Ferrara |
