Today’s Topic: The Harry Fox Agency (HFA) Under US copyright law (and in most other developed countries), an individual has copyright ownership in his/her original musical composition as soon as he/she fixes it in a “tangible medium” (like writing it down or recording it). One of the important ways in which composers can profit from their creation of a new musical composition is when it is used in a sound recording (a “record”). When a musical composition is used in a record and a copy of that record is sold, the owner of copyright in that record (there can be many different sound recordings of any particular musical composition – think about all the different versions of “White Christmas”) pays a “mechanical royalty” to the composer under what is called a “mechanical license.” Under the mechanical license, the composer grants to the sound recording owner (usually a record company) the right to reproduce and distribute the copyrighted musical composition. The Harry Fox Agency (HF

Florida residents of a certain age will remember the days when figuring out the lyrics to a favorite song required sitting down with pencil and paper and playing their copy of the record over and over until they were satisfied that they had the words down correctly. But for years now, figuring out the lyrics has been as easy as typing the song title into Google. Many websites offer the lyrics of just about every popular song ever released, albeit with varying degrees of accuracy. Questionable accuracy is hardly the only problem with this scenario. The National Music Publishers Association recently issued takedown notices to 50 popular websites that offer song lyrics, alleging that the sites represent blatant infringement of the copyright holders' exclusive rights.

Miami native J NICS puts a proverbial bow on things by giving his fans a 2 for 1 gift in the form of a couple new loosies. "Low" is an original track that embodies everything that the actual phrase "riding low" stands for, as it describes the mind state and lifestyle of the bottom. NICS smooth demeanor sits right at home over VanCity Beats production, with a chopped and slowed Dr. Dre sample chanting on the hook. "No Angels" has him getting his verbal exercise on, jabbing back at a certain Harlem rapper over his own instrumental who took a few shots of his own at the 305 on the original track. ***Thanks to a3chiphop.com for sending*** STREAM STREAM

The owner of a copyright in a protected musical composition may use the work as (s)he wishes; conversely, (s)he may prevent others from using that work without authorization. Whenever a musical work ("song") is being performed for commercial purposes, that owner should almost always expect to receive a royalty. Making individual efforts to collect royalties, however, require hours of investigation and paperwork - tracking how many times the song has been played, determining whether it was performed on TV, in a film, on the radio or Internet, or calculating which percentage of the royalty goes to which owner (if the song has co-composers). This is where it makes sense to become a member of a Performance Rights Organization ("PRO"). The purpose of these organizations is to track the "public performance" of musical compositions (anything from elevator-music to radio play to live band concerts), collect license fees for copyright owners who are PRO member

The Movement Fam sends 'Pride On My Cufflinks' by Notion . The EP showcases both Notion 's lyrical prowess and his production skills, all the while soaking up his rollercoaster ride experience of leaving his life in Australia and moving to Canada to pursue his music. The often dark yet sparse soundscapes make way for his potent, thought provoking narratives, garnished with equal parts optimism and concern for the future. Production comes courtesy of the USA's Remot ( Kidz In The Hall , K-Os ), Hungary's Diaz & Sima , Sydney's P.R and of course, Notion handles the vast majority of the work. The guestlist is as international as Notion himself; Ohio's Copywrite , Southern California's Gravity Christ , Australia's NeeQ , Toronto's iLLvibe and B3auu , the legendary DJ Grouch , and Notion's older brother Cee . This project is the perfect appetizer before Notion drops his debut LP, 'Heart On My Sleeve Music' , in summer 201
