garfield Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ya Wait, is this true? Sync rights don't have anything to do with the CD? Oh, thank God. Please tell me that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 well, the music is not synched to anything on the CD, so it should be ok, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUDAKITE Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Wait, is this true? Sync rights don't have anything to do with the CD? Oh, thank God. Please tell me that's true. It's true. All APDs have been fine all year. I believe 'mechanical rights' are what's needed for audio products. And those rights have been granted.

And those rights have been granted. Good God, what the heck is the problem? Some pinhead doesn't want a visual of his music being performed? This absolutely must be a simple money issue and I, for one, suggest they not let this get out of hand and lose the sync. Pay the royalty, DCI! I have no idea how this negotiation works but I don't care. It can't possibly be that one of the owners doesn't want to see it performed on the field. It has to be a money issue in the final analysis. Just treat it like something as important as the G7, DCI because this show drew as much interest as the G8 shows did, and wasn't that the point? Just tell them that I would NEVER have seen her (their) music if it weren't for Madison playing it (don't tell them I like Scouts' version better than anything I heard them play). The "burn date" is a natural barrier that DCI is facing. Know when to hold 'em, but also know when to fold 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherM Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 D-a-m-m-i-t. This is a tragedy. I know some say we should be happy to have witnessed it at finals, but part of my drum corps experience includes going back and reliving those wonderful, powerful moments from years past. It's why I buy the CDs and DVDs. Madison's show is just NOT COMPLETE without the ESOM closer and I"m sure - SURE - I will not listen to, or watch, this show without the audio. Experiencing that show without ESOM is not reliving a great experience at all. Further, I just now went to YT and listened to the Alicia Keys version and - IS IT ME? - or does it sound nothing like what Madison put on the field? Could I be listening to the wrong version? I listened to both the Jay and Alicia version. They sound nothing like what Madison put on the field and I'm shocked that there is even a licensing issue that is involved here. Why, again, would a letter-writing campaign NOT be worth it? If DCI holds it's ground and loses we forever miss a show. Maybe DCI needs to pony up a little more for this one, eh? Yeah, kind of like a 'G-7' argument all on it's own, don't you say? After listening to available versions, the Madison arrangement is very similar to Alicia Keys' "ESOM, Part II", which I purchased from iTunes. Which i would have never purchased from iTunes had Madison not played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'll probably end up ripping both the CD and DVD to my PC and syncing it myself.. Seems like the only option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily....someone with veto power may simply not want the music tied to a visual out of his control...it's not always about fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDBassCreature Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I bet if DCI took the video from finals showing the absolutely incredible fan reaction to ESOM and sent it to whoever has the syncing rights they would say yes in a heartbeat. How many people out there had never even heard of the song until Madison played it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people out there had never even heard of the song until Madison played it? Adding my name to the "Never had heard of it until Madison added it" list. Scouts playing it is the only reason I went looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
