Hello Gang-- Was actually off-line this week as I start the school year, meaning to turn back on next week when things settle down. However, at our pre-start of school- in-service workshop I ran across what,I want to confirm through this forum, is an EGREGIOUSLY flawed take on copyright. A speaker to our district (addressing all the teachers) included the following statement in his presentation pack AND pointed it out to our whole staff as being true. (I do not as yet have Carol Simpson's book... it is on order so I don't have any hard proof to point to) I think some feedback from this list would be helpful to shoe my administrator and Carol if you are tuned in I would love to hear your take on it. "No liscense (sic) is needed for use of music within classrooms or schools. For regular seminars and conferences a "Music Performance Agreement" is required from BMI and costs $100 a year.... followed by a BMI contact number" BTW, this is an internationally known speaker on learning and motivation and he directed the audience to even buy his CD ( of music to use to motivate in the classroom) and feel free to copy and share it... We wouldn't all have to have a copy and it would be OK because he's already paid the licensing fee on these tunes. These are all TOP 40 tunes from the 50's-present. What does anyone have to say? I was speechless.
