Jeff Ream Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 6 hours ago, cixelsyd said: That is blatantly false. DCI has been paying for licensing since the 1970s. What was missed in the 1970s (and 1980s, and 1990s) was the permission to arrange the music. That was a shortcoming among the individual corps. and sync rights, etc. basically they ignored the laws on the books. so did DCA, WGI, and everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI covered sync rights on their video products, and kicked the Kiwanis Kavaliers off the video set one year because of the effect their Beatles show would have had on the cost of that licensing.

DCI themselves said they didn't follow the laws. And once the mega merger created Tresona, they had someone to call them out on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was that pre or post creation of internet days? Some copyright holders have been pretty vigilant in keeping up on use. Believe Beatles copyright holders are in the group. Know it was audio only but plenty of corps played Beatles 60s/70s and doubt if they payed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've always wondered if Marauders paid for the rights to McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio back in 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote DCI themselves said they didn't follow the laws. As I understand it, DCI was acting in good faith, licensing everything they did. But then they learned that if the corps either... a. failed to obtain permission to arrange, or b. obtained permission to arrange with restrictions for audio/video ... that rendered DCI licensing moot. Evidently (again, as I understand it), the entire world of educational music only began receiving adequate legal advice on this issue about four years ago.

For that matter, 2003 non-finalists were still relegated to VHS only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember Dan flatly stating they didn't do it right in one of his releases too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
