Just out of curiosity, does anyone else remember the controversy from 2010?
https://www.theguardian.com/media/pda/2010/aug/11/newport-state-of-mind-yout...
I was happy that YouTube put the video back as a protected derivative work, but posting it to this list apparently made them take it down again. I would normally not be made happy by that, but in this instance it makes me happy because it's a perfect opening to ask Google to petition the Copyright Royalty Board to adjust the compulsory royalties so that distribution to artists falls i. The same incidence as it did in the 1970s, prior to the advent of mass consumer copying, when artists, authors, and performers earned about three times the median of what they do today, and the top publishing conglomerates earned proportionally less.
If this something the Foundation can support?

My mistake, there is a one line reference to Wikipedia in the lyrics. (The time_continue parameter didn't work on my first play through, but I checked again to be sure and then I heard the reference.) Sorry for the mistake. My other points stand. </grump>

James, that video does Not seem to have any connection to the Wikimedia movement. (I checked the credits, but didn't watch the whole song). Please don't distract the hundreds of subscribers here with irrelevant
content.
Bare links without any explanation are also an anti-pattern to avoid. Thanks.
