Copyright Protections Extend to Music

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

Copyright protections are important for ensuring that composers get credit and compensation for any of their works that is later performed by another. The need for music copyrighting was encoded into law with the passage of the Copyright Act of 1976. The steps for securing this protection are quite simple. Essentially any piece of music that is written down or “fixed into any tangible medium,” qualifies for the protection. It is common practice, and a good idea, to document that protection on the written piece by calling out the protection on the bottom of the first page of the music. The piece should then be registered with the Copyright Office before the first public performance.

MP3 Music Players Now The Most Popular Format

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

Once there was vinyl. Then audio cassette tapes. Then 8-tracks. Then CD players. Today, all of those have given way to the merits of the MP3 player. What the MP3 has above all of its predecessors is its ability to store large numbers of songs and video. All of that music in one device and the portability of the device make the mp3 music players the most popular form of music storage and playing today.  One example, the Apple iPod Shuffle can hold hundreds of songs which can be searched automatically and which weights less than one ounce. What’s not to like.

New Platform Ladders for the Warehouse

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

Recently, I decided to purchase Cotterman Platform Ladders for my warehouse. I found that the old traditional ladders were slowing the workers down a lot. I was surprised that my predecessor did not invest in better equipment. The workers could do a lot more work per hour if they had a stable platform that could carry more weight. Of course, having rollers on the ladder save time as well since they make it easy to move the ladder to the next work location. Overall, the workers are much happier with the new platforms and have greatly increased their productivity at work.

I wanted to relax

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

I have tried a lot of massaging equipment throughout my life. I do not like any of the back massagers that are positioned in a chair. They do not give me the sensations that I need to be truly relaxed. I have found that the Hitachi Magic Wand has just enough power to give me the massaging that I need without feeling pain. Some of the products that I have used before have cause me more pain than relief. It has felt as though I was getting poked and prodded with rods rather than massaged to a gentle relaxed state of mind.

Baby Grand: The Smallest of the Big

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

Pianos come in many sizes and shapes and are made with many different materials to achieve many different musical qualities and objectives. The largest and perhaps most recognizable type of piano is the grand piano. There are three types of grand pianos, and from largest to smallest they are: the concert grand, the parlor or boudoir grand and the baby grand piano.Though the look similar, there are a lot of meaningful differences between a baby grand and a concert grand. A baby grand piano is built with shorter and stiffer strings than its concert counterpart, which means that the sounds in a baby grand are comparatively not as “true.”
