RE: (TV) Bootlegs

[Cameron Pulley <cpulley@navicominc.com>]

if ms. secretx's response was to my queery ('question of ownership'), i
realise that bootlegs are illegal, but who controls the ownership?  someone
must, or they would be public domain.  is it tom directly, or is it a record
label?  if it is tom directly, how would one gain permission (pay royalties)
to use these songs?  is there a way to contact his agent/agency?  the film i
am trying to make is not being released anywhere at this point, i'm still a
student, and we have a budget of a few thousand dollars, so if a reasonable
agreement could be made, it would be great.  if not, we'll make our own
songs!

Are you saying my elusive and mysterious promo is a bootleg , Secret X ?
{:-)}

On a more serious note , wouldn't it be prudent to effectively eliminate the
majority of the need for bootlegs by releasing the material people want
privately , much like Pete Townshend does via his website . I dare say Pete
is more interested in the digital revolution than Tom is , but he releases
dozens of CDs only available from his sites and the fans buy 'em up without
the need of a bootlegger . If that was the case for TV material , all of us
would certainly get discs direct from Tom's 'people' rather than an illegal
outlet .

Anyone care to comment ?
Andy.
