“Breaking” old news in the Superman copyright case

"Other comic news sites are reporting a bombshell development in DC’s legal fight to hold onto the Superman copyright: on Monday, the company filed a court document asserting that the Shuster estate had actually sold its share of the Superman copyright back to DC in 1992 and affirmed this sale in subsequent correspondence."

Madonna Hit With Lawsuit Over 'Vogue' Sample

"Delaware company claims pop star stole portions of their late Seventies song"
"Pointing to a song called "Love Break," released around 1977, VMG claims, "The portions of 'Love Break,' which have been copied into 'Vogue' and all its various 'mixes,' 'remixes,' videos, YouTube versions, etc., are numerous but intentionally hidden. The horn and strings in 'Vogue' are intentionally sampled from 'Love Break' throughout.' "

What are your thoughts?

FREE music- Yes, 100% free

We have a collection of 100% royalty free music that is free of cost to schools!

Be careful when using popular "free music" from other websites for music, pictures, videos, etc- as the terms as to which how free they are will be determined by the artist. 

Most times, they are not actually "free"- especially for schools, for posting online, or, furthermore, for selling the projects. 

You can simply view the licensing for each song off the "free music" website to determine how you can use the music. 

With our music-- you can post online, sell the projects our music is in for fundraising, and even broadcast! The sky is the limit with our music!

& best of all-- our music is screened for education! So, no need to worry about explicit lyrics or content!

We also have a second collection of free music- Student Productions 2012. 

This is a collection of music from a contest we held in early 2012. 

It is all student created music and is a collection of the winners. 

So, go forth and be knowledgeable about your music choices!

Enjoy the music!
Cheers,

Diana
