DonOld is a Loser

You missed the part about "examples that may..."

BTW, one of those "examples that may..." includes playing music at nonprofit events. Political organizations are non profits under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Incorrect. Nonprofits are not exempt from paying licensing fees.

One major way that nonprofits can be at risk for copyright infringement at events is when using music such as a live band, as entertainment, playing music over speakers, or selling CDs to raise money. Another way that nonprofits risk copyright infringement is by showing a movie or television show at an event. Some schools, for instance, hold a movie and popcorn night to raise funds.

In order to use music, movies, or television shows legally, a nonprofit needs to get permission from the copyright holder. Oftentimes, getting permission includes paying a fee; and because there's a fee, many nonprofits try to use the copyrighted material for free, either hoping they won't get caught or assuming they're covered by some exception.

Nonprofits and copyright infringement
 
You keep missing the important bits.



"Can be" doesn't denote ARE at risk.

Make of it what you will for purely political reasons, but the LAW says something different than what you want to believe because of your TDS.

I knew you’d double down on your incorrect statements. 😆

Nonprofits are not exempt from music licensing requirements. Link to any legal information that says otherwise!

You're wrong.

...several statutory provisions of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) allow certain nonprofit organizations to use copyrighted works without obtaining the copyright owner’s permission...

One of the more useful provisions allows a nonprofit organization to perform a nondramatic literary or musical work at fundraisers.

What you think you know, isn't anything at all.
 
You’re trying to argue that the Trump campaign is allowed to play music at rallies without licensing the music?

That is an incorrect argument.
You're barking at your reflection in the mirror.

That's an insane argument.
 
Political campaigns are generally not exempt. See: ASCAP.

ASCAP doesn't mean anything, it's just the org that's pushing licensing.

OTOH, the law says that nonprofit political orgs can use copyrighted material if they comply with the use restrictions.

Which the Trump campaign is doing.
 
You made up that quote, and that’s why you didn’t link to it.

Nonprofits are not exempt from music licensing requirements.

Lie.

I didn't link because it was contained in a PDF file and linking to PDF files isn't nice because some people use their phones on the forum and the files are sometimes HUGER THAN HUGE.

But, all anyone has to do is ask Mr. Google to discover that nonprofits are indeed exempt as long as they follow the rules. One of which is what I posted above.

That you haven't done that search is obvious.

Nonprofits are not exempt from music licensing requirements.

The biggest misconception is that nonprofits are somehow protected from copyright infringement due to their non-profit status.

Copyright and fair use laws apply to all uses of copyrighted work, even using copyrighted music for nonprofit, regardless of your entity’s non- or for-profit status.

A Guide for Non-Profits on Using Copyrighted Music

Time for you to stop lying about the law.
 
This could be one of many fun threads to bump in November. Many crows will be cooked and served. The losing crowd will eat a murder.
 
The constant bish-bashing of other members has to stop. It's unproductive and harms the reputation of those to do it as well as the site itself.

Which the Trump campaign is doing.
Meanwhile, back in the reality-based world, far away from the fever-swamp delusions of Literotica's HisArpy, the Trump campaign is most certainly not "complying with the use restrictions".

How do we know this?

Just this morning, the estate of the late singer and composer Isaac Hayes announced this morning that it would be filing a lawsuit against convicted felon Donald J Trump's campaign for 134 counts of copyright infringement over the last two years.

The convicted felon walks to the podium at his campaign appearances to the tune of Hayes' song "Hold On, I'm Comin'", performed on tape by R&B legends Sam and Dave.

The estate's lawyer has also filed DMCA takedown notices of all YouTube videos of the convicted felon where the song is audible in the background.

The estate is seeking $150,000 per performance, fees of $3,000,000 in total. The estate issued a formal copyright infringement notice to the campaign last week, after informal requests were ignored. The infringement notice is evidently required as a precursor to filing a lawsuit.

So once again, it would appear that HisArpy's understanding of copyright law is remarkably deficient.

He just can’t help himself and will post drivel for days to defend an incorrect stance he’s taken, again.

I’m guessing Harpy has never been involved in running a campaign event, or a nonprofit organization event in his entire life.


Dude, not you Rob, take a hike. <3
