TLC and who?

Monica Kindle (Tom D.), Thursday, 22 November 2018 22:52 (five years ago) link

he is macho, and he is a man. he loves slim jims. oh yeah, and the other person is gorgeous george, who was apparently macho man's manager at the time.

Karl Malone, Thursday, 22 November 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link

I'm assuming he's a wrestler.

Monica Kindle (Tom D.), Thursday, 22 November 2018 23:04 (five years ago) link

a wrestler, yes, but that was more of a launching pad for his music career imo

is that an official BBC account transferring copyright in perpetuity to Facebook?

sans lep (sic), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link

no, copyright doesn't work like that. anything that gets sent to facebook or twitter (or sky or youtube) remains copyright bbc. they get to stream it, which actually saves the bbc bandwidth, but they don't get copyright.

(streaming rights for programmes are typically a month, but clips are different)

koogs, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link

when I looked at Facebook in 2007, the boilerplate for an account was that anything you post becomes (c) facebook

did this change for individuals too?

sans lep (sic), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms

this is all pretty standard - without this only you would ever be able to see anything you posted...

3. The permissions you give us
We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:

Permission to use content that you create and share: You own the content that you create and share on Facebook and the other Facebook Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights that you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, however, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use this content.
Specifically, when you share, post or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (e.g. photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Facebook Products that you use.

but that's not copyright.

koogs, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 22:27 (five years ago) link

I'm pretty sure that language is more limited than eleven years ago but

without this only you would ever be able to see anything you posted...

"transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence" has three of four conditions granting them rights that are not necessary for them to show your photos to other people. Since I could see that BBC clip, their privacy settings mean that while the BBC can still show the material themselves, Facebook can also sell it to anyone else, or sell a permanent licence to another party.

sans lep (sic), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 22:49 (five years ago) link

it still isn't the "transferring of copyright" you suggested it was. and nowhere does it say permanent licence. if the copyright holder (which remains the bbc) takes it down then it'll be taken down.

koogs, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 22:52 (five years ago) link

I'll be careful to use "surrendering" or "handing over" in the future! (my recollection is that the old language had in perpetuity, in media not yet discovered, through the universe and so on. but that current language doesn't say it's not permanent.)

Didn't Terry Riley teach Daevid Allen how to do tape loops in Paris in the 60s? Something like that. Or maybe it was Burroughs.

The post on fb said something about him learning to do loops from Terry.

Savile also in the picture. Bruno is quite scathing about it, and says Savile just introduced him as someone to meet and there were flashbulbs before Frank had clocked who it was.
