Copyright Infringement or Fair Use?

 

Listen to these, and let's discuss:

 

La Mantovana is a 16th-century (1501-1600) song that was omposed by the Italian tenor, Giuseppe Cenci. It was recorded by Socttish, Polish, Spanish and Ukrainian musicians. According to Wikipedia, it is best known as the Israeli national anthem Hatikvah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mantovana

 

Jewish immigrant Samuel Cohen adapted a Romanian version of the song as the setting for Hatikvah, later recognized by the state of Israel as its national anthem.[3]

 

Have you heard these songs?

 

Well guess what... Khaled sang it first, followed by Marc Anthony!

Dschinghis Khan (English translation: "Genghis Khan" the Mongol Empire ruler) was the West German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in German. This was the year that Israel won for Hallelujah. Wikipedia says that MBD's Yidden ("Kumt Aheim" in 1986) is an adaptation of Dschinghis Khan. 

 

 

Lead Belly recorded Pick A Bale of Cotton in 1945. It's a traditional American song.

Yes, it's a tune for Ki Eshmera Shabbat.

Someone took a song about the Crimean War and used it sing about Shabbat.

Someone posted (above), "It's probably credited as "עממי", similar to the way many songs with non-Jewish origins are credited on other albums."

 

 

ACTIVTY I: POST-IT NOTE OPINIONS

Drag around on the cork board to see all the notes

Pull off a new post-in note, and put your initials in the tag at the bottom.

On a single post-it note, please answer this question for each song:  

Did the musician of these works need permission to use the original work?  Why or why not?

  1. 1. Hatikvah (Samuel Cohen)
  2. 2. Yidden (Mordechai ben David)
  3. 3. Latke Recipe (The Maccabeats)

 

Ask yourself:

  • Is the original song in the public domain?
  • Is there a Creative Commons licence? (No, in these cases)
  • Does it fall under Fair Dealing, according to Canadian law? What part?

 

In 1 or 2 sentences, please add your thoughts about why it's important to respect ownership of creative material

Hatikvah - Sam Cohen did/didn't need permission because ...

Yidden - Mordechai ben David did/didn't need permission because...

Latke Recipe - The Maccabeats did/didn't need permissin because...

I think it's important to respect copyright because...

In tag: your initials
