Gershwin Heirs Fight Over Copyright Royalties
,----[ Quote ]
| The heirs of George and Ira Gershwin (the
| famous songwriting brothers) were leaders
| (right alongside Disney) in the fight for
| copyright extension a decade ago. They
| insisted that it wasn't about the money, but
| about making sure that their work wasn't
| presented in a way of which they disapproved
| ("Someone could turn 'Porgy and Bess' into
| rap music" was the complaint from Mark
| Gershwin, conveniently ignoring that much of
| the Gershwin's work pulled concepts from
| African American music). Yet, if it's not
| about money, why are the Gershwin heirs
| suddenly involved in legal battles all about
| who gets the money?

In Defense Of 1,000 True Fans - Part II - Matthew Ebel
,----[ Quote ]
| What I find most striking about this
| interview is the fact that Matthew makes
| 26.3% of his net income from just 40 hard-
| core fans.
|
| Imagine what it will be like for him when
| he gets to 1,000? The other thing that
| really stood out for me is the fact that an
| artist like Matthew (who is totally
| comfortable with Social Media and extremely
| Internet savvy) has very little idea what
| to do with analytics that he is gathering
| via Google Analytics, CrazyEgg.com, and
| Compete.com, as well as email stats via
| Blue Sky Factory.
