It's quite likely, in my opinion, that the CDs include the audio missing from those DVD cuts. Which is some consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes? No? That is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, they seem to have made themselves the power broker in all this foolishness. The system is broken, and they took advantage of that fact.

BD would have someone like John Williams cook something up each year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system is broken, and they took advantage of that fact. I don't agree with that at all. I'm an arranger. They made it *much* easier for me to figure out what music I can write for my band, how much it will cost in rights, and how easy it is to get. They cut down my workload substantially, and the whole system is automated. Tresona has saved me, and the bands I write for, a lot of time and money. Tresona doesn't make the law...but they do give us an avenue to follow it correctly. The fact that Tresona makes a buck off me and my band isn't something that bothers me in the slightest. There's a ton a value in the service they provide. They've also made it easy for me to sell my work to other customers, and for that I thank them. You don't hate Tresona...you hate existing copyright law. And so do I. Edited November 16, 2017 by Kamarag 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) I hate Tresona... They've basically inserted themselves into all of this, and it's for their financial gain more than it is for the spirit of protecting content producers. I'll just hope that the content producers and creators get the lion share of the proceeds, but with many middle men scenarios, that's probably not going to be the case.

("Surly to be and surly to rise...") The status quo before Tresona came on the scene might have been unsustainable, but videos of bands and corps were much easier to find and purchase. It might work better for arrangers, but it is not working better for audience members. (And I wouldn't be shocked if, thirty years down the line, there's some court case that shows that Tresona was wrong the whole time. Not that I blame DCI for not wanting to take that chance.)
