A tribute to Trayvon Martin by LOS PDF Print E-mail
Written by Staff   
Sunday, 15 April 2012 01:56

As the country sat waiting for the arrest of George Zimmerman a few in the music world made tributes to Trayvon Martin. We are featuring one artist LOS with their tribute named "Wit my hoodie on"

 

The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman took place on February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African American male who was unarmed; George Zimmerman is a 28-year-old man of mixed ethnic descent who at the time of the shooting was acting as a community watch coordinator.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!

 

Martin was walking to the home of his father's girlfriend in a gated community where he was staying when Zimmerman began following him, while contacting the Sanford Police Department to report what he described as suspicious behavior. Soon afterward, there was a confrontation that ended with Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin once in the chest at close range.

Organizations representing the music publishers and songwriters, major record labels, digital music services and cellular phone companies today announced an agreement setting mechanical royalty rates and standards that supports a slate of new cutting-edge business models to help consumers access and enjoy music (PDF of agreement attached).

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and Digital Media Association (DiMA) are filing an industry-wide agreement that fully resolves the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) Rate Proceeding under Section 115 of the Copyright Act.

The settlement provides for the development of new digital music services and business models offering music to consumers by creating new rates and terms under Section 115 for five new categories, which include:
Mixed service bundles (for example, a locker service, limited interactive service, downloads or ringtones combined with a non-music product such as a mobile phone, consumer electronics device or Internet service)
Paid locker services (subscription-based locker providing on-demand streaming and downloads)
Purchased content lockers (a free locker functionally provided to a purchaser of a permanent digital download, ringtone or CD where the music provider and locker have an agreement)
"Limited offerings" (subscription-based service offering limited genres of music or specialized playlists)
Music bundles (bundling music products such as CDs, ringtones and permanent digital downloads)
The 25-page proposed agreement will be submitted to the CRB today by the various parties resolves the pending mechanical royalty rate proceedings without litigation. The agreement covers 2013-2017 and must be formally be approved by the CRB. It establishes a royalty rate category for these new business models and rolls forward, with limited changes, all existing rates and terms for CDs and downloads.

 
Prince has to pay up in perfume dispute PDF Print E-mail
Written by [email protected]   
Saturday, 14 April 2012 23:48

Pop star Prince has been told to hand over almost $4 million to bosses at a fragrance company after failing to promote a line of scents for them.

The "Purple Rain" singer was sued by Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics in 2008 for pulling out of an alleged deal to endorse products inspired by his 2006 album "3121."

In legal papers, the company's lawyers claimed bosses spent a fortune on the venture but Prince didn't honor his commitment to promote the perfume.

Revelations executives accused the pop star of refusing to give media interviews and attend in-store events they set up for him.

He also turned down a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2007, which he had allegedly agreed to, and refused to distribute samples of the perfume at his concerts.

A New York Supreme Court judge ruled in the company's favor and confirmed the award on Friday.
