Displaying 4,021 To 4,050 Of 4,640 Comments Oh a double damn! First: Sorry I missed looking where I would find it, in your blog! I am an idiot! » Posted By SallyT On February 24, 2012 @ 5:46 pm Khirad, have you seen the last report/video sent by Marie Colvin? I have tried to find it online but haven’t. I saw it on TV. Very touching and telling report she had done there. » Posted By SallyT On February 24, 2012 @ 4:23 pm Khirad, Marie Colvin what a brave lady! I second your comment that we lost a great one and a great, brave voice! » Posted By SallyT On February 23, 2012 @ 6:52 pm Khirad, I think they said on BBC that it was 272 dead! Terrible! » Posted By SallyT On February 3, 2012 @ 10:47 pm Khirad, I watch Syria and that happening on BBC tonight. That was really scary. So sad. » Posted By SallyT On February 3, 2012 @ 10:30 pm Bito, good point. Oil worship is a religion that also invaded and caused injury. This is a sad situation for a country so trouble as Nigeria. » Posted By SallyT On January 22, 2012 @ 1:56 pm Thanks, Bito, I did find that interesting. Appreciate you taking the time to post it for me to read. » Posted By SallyT On June 24, 2011 @ 5:17 pm Adonai, I know, we are to much into quantity. But, maybe through all this we might learn quality is better. With my illness I have learned that. We have much less now but we have so much more, too. How about the national bank and paying interest to ourselves? My state, Oregon, is looking into having its own state bank. Some people are misinformed and thinks that means each state would have its on currency but that isn’t it at all. Your state bank loans to your state’s businesses and citizens only and pays interest back to itself. ND has done that and is doing very well. A way to get away from the big banks. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me. I am glad you found it interesting. » Posted By SallyT On June 24, 2011 @ 4:55 pm Adonai, here is an article by Ellen Brown. She is President of the Public Banking Institute. She explains why the debt is not a bad thing but we should turn the debt into a Public Utility. Read it, it is very interesting and educational. I think you will find it that way. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24516 Let me know what you think. » Posted By SallyT On June 24, 2011 @ 3:24 pm WATCH LIVE: Pres. Obama’s Speech on Afghanistan Yes, KT, my friend is one of those good people. When they got to America, only his father spoke broken English. They did not ask for any help from our government. To proud. Took whatever work they could fine. But, my friend went to school and made good grades without knowing all of our language. (It was fun at times to tease him when he mixed up the words. He always laughed and said, “Teach me right way to say that.”) He became the head of our computer department and now works for the state’s water department. He checks in with me now and then. Still always refers to me as “Boss”. “How you doing, Boss?” » Posted By SallyT On June 23, 2011 @ 8:16 pm Well, Buddy and WTS, they certainly would know how to handle life in our deserts. But, Buddy, you are right about the anti-immigratant people. These people would also be bringing a religion that many here don’t understand or want. They don’t want to respect the people already here that wishop with those beliefs. » Posted By SallyT On June 23, 2011 @ 3:29 pm WTS, thank you, that means a lot to me coming from you. I don’t mean to sound heartless but just to remind us that we need to focus on here. If we are strong, we can help so many others. Not with war or military force but strong humanitarian organizations. I think there would be jobs there,too, especially for the young, education people. Give them a chance to payoff those college loans. » Posted By SallyT On June 23, 2011 @ 3:23 pm We did relocate many Vietnamese here after we left there. Many would have been imprisoned or killed for helping the Americans. I have a dear friend who’s father was one of those. The story of his family’s escape from Vietnam after we left is heroic. His father would have been put away for life or killed, so, they left everything and that was a lot because they were wealthy there. The boat they escaped from was cramed tight and actually sunk. His family had to swim to shore, his dad with his mentally challenged brother strapped to his back. The horrors he saw on the island they swim to are terrible. But finally a ship arrived to bring them to America. » Posted By SallyT On June 23, 2011 @ 3:01 pm Okay, call me selfish but my concerns are for here. I wasn’t for the bombing of Afghanistan from the get go. I didn’t understand why we were attacking a country to get a few men who had done evil to us. The people of Afghanistan hadn’t. Oh, I heard how terrible the Taliban were and the be headings in the soccer stadium. My answer to that is that I don’t approve of capital punishment anywhere. Like ours where you strap a person to a gurney and put poison in there veins and pull the curtains for those that care to watch can. Yes and the mistreatment of woman there. Right now I am concerned about the treatment of women here. The attack on the right to choice, reproductive rights, the accessibility to Plan Parenthood and the medical treatments they supply and the discrimination against them for position and pay. So many that the Supreme Court ruled the case too large to hear. I am troubled by the treatments of people in Afghanistan the same as I am in other country such as Africa with its famine, the rape and killing of women, the killing of albino babies because they have a superstition that it cures aids and the movement against gay individuals to the extreme of extinction. But, I am very concerned about the attack on our Medicare system and Social Security here. How long do we stay there to keep the Taliban out of control? Could they get control again? Right now I am concern that the Republicans might get control of our nation again. Do we maintain bases there forever to help control their country as we see it? Everyone says if we pull out it will go back to where it was. Why didn’t we bomb eariler when it was then? Because we weren’t concern then? Or we thought we shouldn’t be involved. Now we broke it so we fix it? How long? How many lives? Will it ever be stable? Its been 10 years. We have sent billions of dollars there to help them build roads while ours crumble, build schools while we close many of ours and fire teachers, to build hospitals, do they need unaffordable insurance to get treatments in those like we do here? I’ve seen the big beautiful houses that have been built there while the masses still live in make shift houses and here the rich have many houses and we foreclose on the less fortunate. LBJ wears the blame for the Vietnam War even though Nixon was in command several years. He is awarded the ending. I hope President Obama will be granted that when this war ends. I heard it back then that we can’t leave because it will be taken over. It was and we have a stable relationship with Vietnam today. They provide our corporations with cheap labor. Perhaps our corporations could make the Afgans a call center. But, I want those men and women home just like I wanted my friends home from Vietnam. If there was a draft now, oh, you would see a cry for the end as you saw in my day. These young people have over served their time. They need to come home to a country with no jobs and their home or a family members home in foreclosure. There is my concern. However, with climate change taking its actions on our country, our reserves are needed here with us. These young people will need medical treatment and mental treatment for many years. We need to focus on being able to provide it. We need to focus on the United States of America and make it a better place. We need to bring down the deficit or make it larger because we are rebuilding our country. We are acting to much like Rome before the fall. We act as the most powerful and admired nation when others see us as bullies. We are not paying attention to our homeland and it is crumbling. They once thought our streets were paved with gold. I just want them paved. I want the United States to continue to succeed. Yes, I am selfish but my selfishness takes in all of you, too. I want us to continue to be the democracy that others strive to reach. By example we have made others reach for that star. I want ours to be the biggest and the brightest of all on this planet. I don’t want us to be one that they point to in history books as a great idea and it work for a couple of hundred years and failed. No, selfishness or not, I want us to be the winner right here. Let more countries reach their goals for democracy and more will come to believe in it and want it. Oh, I am not in a fairyland. I know that all countries have their own ideas. But, that is theirs to choose and live with. Middle class, get your dust clothes out, we need to bring back the shine, make the USA bright again. She has all the potential in us and we need to show that we have the strength. All we want is a fair shake, good living, affordable healthcare, an education, taking care of the less fortunate and being safe. Is that a lot to ask? I admire the President but I don’t agree with this plan of withdrawn. I want to get started on our nation building here right now with the money and people power we have over there. Please bring them home as soon as you can. We have a lot of work to do! » Posted By SallyT On June 23, 2011 @ 1:48 pm Watch Current TV or We’ll Burn This Flag! Funk, I have watched HDNet, too. I came across it by accident flipping through but it was when Dan Rather was on and it was an interesting one. I need to check it out more. » Posted By SallyT On June 21, 2011 @ 9:19 pm Thank you, AdLib. As you know, for the past 3 months I have been promoting Current by its website and informing when Countdown with KO would begin. Yes, it is just Keith for now but that is how MSNBC started, too. In an article in the RollinStone, Keith hints that once the network’s news programs get going, there will be other newscasters joining them. (It was Keith that got Rachel Maddow on MSNBC) Yes, last night had a moment on MSNBC but I think Keith felt that people would expect something to be said. I sometimes have gotten frustrated with KO in the past but shouldn’t you once in awhile. Otherwise, you aren’t thinking for yourself. » Posted By SallyT On June 21, 2011 @ 5:27 pm The Daily Planet, Vol. One Hundred Cher, you don’t look old enough to have done 50 let alone 100! Congrads, you lovely lady friend of mine. Keep keeping me informed! » Posted By SallyT On June 21, 2011 @ 8:54 pm Tea Party summer camp: Indoctrination for kids? Right! They will be thinking something totally different about those bubbles, confetti and hard candy. PARTY, whose birthday???? » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 8:49 pm Oldpol, true, $15?? Well, these kids will be the product of parents that have been indoctrinated by cable news on one channel. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 8:02 pm Joan Walsh: Twisted Sister Punches Down You, Khirad, would like Lockup. Yes, Countdown is a nightly show. It is up against Lawrence. But, it does repeat several times a night. They repeat more this week but he said it will reduce the number of repeats next week. This being the first week, they are doing more. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 5:55 pm Her answers are probably done by a llort. A troll in reverse. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 4:03 pm There is always Lockup on MSNBC. Tonight is the first Countdown with Keith Olbermann on Al Gore’s station “Current”. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 3:59 pm Marion, I say you held your own with her and in fact drove right over her. I happen to like Bill Maher’s show on HBO. I would argue with anyone that that makes me a progressive. You can enjoy the show without agreeing with him on everything. He’s guest are interesting usually. I loved Janeane Garofalo on there a couple of weeks ago. And, Chris Mattrew last week ripped into Ross Douthat and Gretchen Hamel on Bill’s Overtime defending the President on military actions. “Bush’s low IQ vs Obama’s high IQ” Bill may have a problem on somethings the President has done or hasn’t done. But, I have always heard him say that the country is harder on this President than any and he sees it as rasist and he doesn’t like that. If I have heard this gal you are standing ground with I don’t remember. So, you can see how far she got with me. And, Bill Maher doesn’t need my help in defending him. I am just defending myself for liking his show and claiming that doesn’t make me a progressive. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 3:30 pm ….. on the “BitTorrent” issue… BlueStateMan, there looks like there are many areas to this and everybody won’t be happy no matter what. Like I said earlier, I don’t know much at all about this but because of your article, I now know a lot more. » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 12:08 pm Also, in case anyone is interested, here is a link to an article on Charlie Daniels fighting for his copyrights to “Devil Went Down To Georgia”. http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/stories/2010/03/29/story2.html » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 1:38 am In some research, I have found out the following: Unlike other forms of intellectual property, music royalties have a strong linkage to individuals – composers (score), songwriters (lyrics) and writers of musical plays – in that they can own the exclusive copyright to created music and can license it for performance independent of corporates. Recording companies and the performing artists that create a “sound recording” of the music enjoy a separate set of copyrights and royalties from the sale of recordings and from their digital transmission (depending on national laws). A musical composition obtains protection in copyright law immediate to its reduction to tangible form – a score on paper or a taping; but it is not protected from infringed use unless registered with the copyright authority. No person or entity, other than the copyright owner, can use or employ the music for gain without obtaining a license from the composer/songwriter. Inherently, as copyright, it confers on its owner, a distinctive “bundle” of five exclusive rights: These exclusivities have led to the evolution of distinct commercial terminology used in the music industry. They take four forms: » Posted By SallyT On June 20, 2011 @ 1:14 am Choice, I am there with you on not knowing a lot on this subject but I do know that many people depend on those residual to live. And, you only have to look at the credits at the end of the movie to know that it takes a lot of people to get it to you on the screen. (most are union workers) Yes, and many have been ripped off by producers and agents. Some got taken at the very beginning like the sax player on Baker Street. Rafferty’s paid him with a $20+ check that bounced. If they use a song in a movie, TV, or radio they have to pay residuals. I don’t know if any of you watch Big Brother but they yell at those in the house not to sing because they don’t want to have to pay. Yes, I like getting on YouTube and I like that there isn’t a charge. But, they get paid by advertisers for having others work available. They know how many times a song is played. I really don’t know how the money breaks down. My comment is, I guess, that someone is making money and I do think some should go to the artist. However, this could lead to more and big business would use it to get more and more and control of products on the net. (Like personal videos you put on YouTube of your kid singing a song. You’re not making money, so should you pay a riduals to the artist because your kid thought he was Mick Jagger? But, the source it is on gets money from advertisers just the same.) So, I’ll end with this last comment: If Comcast fits into it at any point, they get enough from me already!! » Posted By SallyT On June 18, 2011 @ 10:38 pm Why You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About jkkFL, well, if you have to put a leash on it, get one of those retractable ones. Let it get way out there and think it is getting away. Then you can roll it back in and control it. It is always good to let your brain have a run once in awhile and bark at the moon. Many wonderful things have come from people letting their brain have a run. And, sometimes it takes a loud bark to get attention and quick barks are sometimes more honest. » Posted By SallyT On June 18, 2011 @ 9:20 pm Good for you. I could probably get “stuff” with my condition through Medical but my husband can’t be around it because of his job and those spot drug tests they throw on him now and then. But, when he retires in a few years, we will be going back to those “band days” once in awhile. » Posted By SallyT On June 18, 2011 @ 2:07 pm I read this to my husband and told him, “See honey, all those drugs you did when you were young, in the band and on the road aren’t making you do weird things. It’s your brain.” He said, “Damn, I wish we had something to smoke so I could see what my brain could come up with now!” » Posted By SallyT On June 18, 2011 @ 1:49 pmComments Posted By SallyT
Second: I was in such a hurry to tell you that I was an idiot that I had to prove it again and hit the thumbs down button! You have both my thumbs up, my big toes, and my swollen little finger! 😉
I do hope the station can get a following and I will continue with my part.
Thank you for writing it and bringing it to my attention. And, causing me to do a little more towards my education.
(a) to make copies of the songs through print or recordings (b) to distribute them to the public for profit (c) to the “public performance right”; live or through a recording (d) to create a derivative work to include elements of the original music; and (e) to “display” it (not very relevant in context).
Where the score and the lyric of a composition are contributions of different persons, each of them is an equal owner of such rights.
(1) royalties from “print rights” (2) mechanical royalties from the recording of composed music on CDs and tape (3) performance royalties from the performance of the compositions/songs on stage or television through artists and bands, and (4) synch (for synchronization) royalties from using or adapting the musical score in the movies, television advertisements, etc. and
With the advent of the internet, an additional set of royalties has come into play: the digital rights from simulcasting, webcasting, streaming, downloading, and online “on-demand service”.
