AS YOU’LL SEE BELOW, HBO is claiming copyright on Pete Seeger singing “This Land is Your Land.”
I LIKE HBO A LOT, but, and I loathe internet slang, but sometimes even I am forced to write:
SRSLY?
That is all.
1969, DALLAS, TX: The first ATM machine is installed. Standing for “AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE MACHINE,” the first ATM could receive deposits and dispense cash (though only in coins) and was roughly the size of a city block. Despite its name, it was not wholly automated: A single human controller was required to supervise and make manual notations in the customer’s bankbook. He would sit in a little dome atop the machine. However, this bank employee was instructed to wear a tinfoil suit and talk like a machine so as not to ruin the futuristic effect.

i agree, but if you look at the comments for “I wish I could post this day forever,” Griffin posted the following link, which is from a EUROPEAN TV airing of the same footage:

Way to go, Griffin.

I specifically recall the end credits claiming copyright for the Presidential Inaugural Committee (or some such entity) – not HBO. So I they must have some licensing deal. Which means they have rights (probably exclusive) to that particular audio/video recording of Pete Seeger singing “This Land Is Your Land”. Pete Seeger might be a tad cheesed if they held some broader rights to the song he probably performs more frequently than any other.

HBO suppressed the YouTube clip of Woodie Guthrie playing at the Yavin awards ceremony, too. It’s the oldest story there is.
Between BAND OF BROTHERS and THE WIRE, though, they’ve still got some goodwill capital to spend with me.

Anyone know if any of the footage from yesterday’s celebration will be released to DVD?
Comment by PG — January 19, 2009 @ 6:13 pm
And, just for the record, Woody Guthrie’s attitude to copyright…
“This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don’t give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that’s all we wanted to do.”

and what of the gay bishop? while indeed hbo showed generosity in broadcasting to the plebes, um, does hbo have the modern rights to catholic censorship? just wondering.

I read somewhere where HBO only has broadcast rights for six months. After that, I would assume that the rights would go back to the Inaugural Committee. Knowing Obama, I would guess that it’ll be free after that.

The cost for P90X is about three months of a paid gym membership but you get to keep the program forever,
P90x . You can try many of the online sites, but it will be the same as buying from the company or a Beachbody Coach. Make sure you are getting original DVD’s. People are selling copies all over. The problem is how long will they last, P90x workout ,and you truly need the exercise and nutrition guide to even follow the program. You can go to any site or you can go and click on products.
