Real songs in porn

[desslock]

I remember at the end of Catalina's In Tense Heat, a Jeff Stryker, Mike Henson extravaganza from John Travis, there was a commerical to "Join the Jeff Stryker Fan Club"

Whoever at Catalina produced that saw fit to use music from New Order's Substance album of dance remixes.

Ummmm.....Would this have amounted to possible Substance abuse at Catalina studios?

Oh and back in my closet somewhere is a movie, where one of the previews is this Mark Jennings movie called Winners... and the music to that preview is an unapologetic, complete track of Depeche Mode's Master and Servant.

This actually at the time inspired me to take out my Radio Shack Realistic video/audio mixer and make a VHS copy of my favorite scene from this Paul Norman bisexual video using music from Depeche Mode's Pleasure Little Treasure. That combination made for quite a fun video.

OMG, a pun to match the exceptionally bad quality of my own!

I just double checked, and I was wrong on the timeframe after publication. It's 3 months after, not 1 year, in order to retain statutory relief (fines and attorney's fees).

Also, "publication" is a little more complex. From the US copyright regs:

it is clear that any form of dissemination in which the material object does not change hands, for example, performances or displays on television, is not a publication no matter how many people are exposed to the work.

So, according to the above, if you shoot content and post it on a Web site that you run, it wouldn't be considered publication.

HOWEVER,

when copies or phonorecords are offered for sale or lease to a group of wholesalers, broadcasters, or motion picture theaters, publication does take place if the purpose is further distribution, public performance, or public display.

So if you're a content producer who sells content to webmasters that are going to post the content or sell it, then publication apparently occurs when you license it to the webmaster or wholesaler or reseller.

They should really update this 30 year old interpretation of "Publishing"

also wasnt a lot of porn controlled by the mob or at least businesses connected to the mob?

I remember seeing this stupid movie on cable with Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez as these brothers from San Francisco who had a porn movie theater and produced the legendy, hetero flick "Behind the Green Door"

Other XXX movie theaters started pirating their film, and when they went to a theater owner in New York asking for cash, they were told to shove off... the guys had protection.

not to mention, porn was not the multi-million dollar business it is today, and intellectual property owners weren't as rabid about enforcing their copyrights outside of the mainstream media.
