[vet-mm] Student sound files

Thu Mar 2 22:01:35 EST 2006

I have emailed 'Freeplay' seeking their permission for all 3in6 entrants
to use their tracks for video competition entries.
Although I expect they will say 'no', if you don't ask.....
I will let this list know the results (if they actually do reply, of
course).

> To quote the site :
> "If you are using Freeplay Music for:

> grounds and classroom - non broadcast)
> Then Freeplay's musical compositions and recordings may be used
> (broadcast, synchronized and/or copied) without fee. These reproduction

> Now I'm on a roll..., there is always scope for the school to purchase a

> Final point, our students live in a world where they happily swap

> knowing/caring that this is illegal - its become more than commonplace -
> its rife! A condition of any submission here at the Gordon is whether
> copyright requirements have been met. That includes images, code, sound,
> software used etc. Copyright is a daily consideration for designers, yes
> it's a minefield, all the more reason to tackle it now as a student -
> lets reinforce good habits. What happens if a student enters industry
