[HANASHIR:5604] Re: recording copyright question

[Emily Blank <eblank...>]

We did a whole Friday night Shabbat service of Debbie's music on November 
19, 1999.  (I did call you all first to get permission to make copies of 
the words and put in all the relevant copywrite info.)

Dear Susan, et al,

People call our office several times a week in regard to the use of Debbie
Friedman's music for projects similar to yours.  We are always delighted 
when
people call for permission and readily give it!  Since your recording will 
be
given away to congregants and no money will change hands, no royalty is 
due.
We do, however, request that the correct copyright information (which we 
will
provide) be printed on the accompanying J-card/CD booklet, etc.  We also 
ask
that you send us two copies of the completed product - we keep one on file 
in
our office so we can track where Debbie's work appears, and the other one 
is
forwarded to Debbie so she can see how and where her songs are used.  It is 
really exciting for us to see how Debbie's compositions are creatively used 
all over the world!

This process is a very simple but valuable one.  It is important for the
protection of Debbie's copyrights to credit her appropriately.  By calling
us, people using the music are validating the professional stature of the
artist.  Recipients of the recording  see that their leaders are respectful 
of the creative work of others, are using material with permission, and are 
educating the congregation about Jewish music and its composers.  Though 
many
people assume that some of this music that has been around a long time came 
down from Sinai with the Torah and is exempt from copyright issues, this is 
not the case!!!

Thank you for asking this important question.  I look forward to hearing 
from
you and others about your projects.

 Copyright experts:
 My temple has asked me to make a tape of the Shabbat melodies that I
 generally sing at our services.  They plan to give (not sell) this to
 those who attend a temple retreat in November to help congregants learn
 the songs so that they can sing along at services.  If I credit the
 composers on the song index that fits in the cassette, am I doing
 anything wrong by not writing to the composers to get permission?  The
 tape is being used for educational reasons.
