There a lot of arrangements that the Barbershop Harmony Society owns, and we can compete with those at no charge. We still have to register them. So do we share arrangements now some, but most of the time we are contacting arrangers to get permission to use them. People do make changes to ending of songs (called a tag) or change notes in places to make the arrangement fit the chorus or quartet. Most arrangers are ok with that...sort of remixing it LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973522028250978374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479633735878735154.post-69761452116986199452012-05-03T19:47:21.741-05:002012-05-03T19:47:21.741-05:00Your post really got me thinking about your art fo...Your post really got me thinking about your art form of Barbershop. The harmonies and arrangements are very similar for all songs, so are they still copyrighted? I found “The Barbershop Harmony Society” has an article titled,” Copyright Basics for Barbershoppers”. <br />It can be found at the following link: <br /><br />https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:N-6_0lHaFm0J:www.barbershop.org/document-center/category/8-copyright-legal.html?download%3D68%253Acopyright-basics-for-barbershoppers+Copyright+Basics+for+Barbershoppers&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgy9wlm6ERXyzIjbeOGG4M_42VvsVdC1RvJ8JqSGcdYusggU0X-Bd_eY1vMn_U0Ev7xiLbQj7VjGYgrU00NGhr5e8Y5E5fHw5koCncWStWHcdsyMg88Rv6IKuwVjnnw1sp7Noat&sig=AHIEtbQsTw1wjBmfcDVqREBjtYR-k-DYNw<br /><br />The statement that jumped out at me was: “Violations could result in a substantial fine. Examples of violations include arranging, selling an arrangement, or photocopying without permission. Penalties can range from $20,000 to $100,000 per copy, so it behooves all Barbershoppers to abide by the copyright statutes.”<br /><br />All I have to say is be careful my friend! I am curious how you get the music you use in competitions. Is it purchased or do you compose it yourself?Cynthia Madanskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405418707994024264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479633735878735154.post-73564892629906303722012-05-03T18:14:39.773-05:002012-05-03T18:14:39.773-05:00Let me know what you think! :)Let me know what you think! :)Katie Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762858336744064504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479633735878735154.post-22567314647848531002012-05-03T16:34:46.018-05:002012-05-03T16:34:46.018-05:00HI Katie,

In my mind something like barbershop music should be exempted from the copyright rule. You have to wonder how many other grey areas like that exist? I love how the music is passed around not to steal it from each other but to make it better. Isn’t that what music should be about, working together to make it all sounds better?<br /><br />I love love remix music, there is so much of that on youtube today. Here is a video you can check out (it’s a recent one that went viral) it’s a remix someone did using Obama’s words and having him sing the “ Sex and I know it song by LMFAO.” I usually just find remix music funny and just a good way to get people to laugh. I can see that it could have educational benefits I just haven’t found a good educational remix yet to use in my environment.<br /><br />http://youtu.be/OWgO9-AIROIKatie Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762858336744064504noreply@blogger.com
