Two friends of mine, created a pretty good song some time back in 2013, and they tried to copyright it. One lawyer and mutual friend of mine and the band, asked for 200 euros to copyright just that one song. Later they realized, they could copyright the song for just 30 euros.
On some other totally unrelated news, my parents knew a person who sold en mass music on cassettes illegally copied from other cassettes back in the 80s. He bought a BMW and build a house just from that. I was friends with his grandson when we were teenagers, and his grandson didn't care to play basketball or football or anything like that. He was obsessed with listening to music and memorize all the lyrics and stuff.
- layer8 3y agoYou don’t have to “copyright” a creative work in Europe for it to enjoy copyright protection. It automatically does so by virtue of being a creative work.
- emporas 3y agoOh i don't know anything about copyrights and the exact purpose they had to pay a lawyer. But i do know, that there were so many people scanning books, copying cassettes, cds, dvds etc, who profited by copying information minimum 1000%. We are well into half a century of copying everything, just using a manual and tedious process. Nowadays with statistical engines and the internet, the copying process is planetary and infinite. So what's the big difference? Let alone the fact that statistical engines do not copy information!
