New 3 Strikes Law Proposals

Ok, so here is my first 3 Strikes Law proposal.

Any corporation accused three times of incorrectly issuing DMCA take down notices loses the right to issue such notices in the future. To make this easy to check on, the copyright office will keep a list of corporations that are ineligible to issue such notices.

Can you think of any good 3 strikes proposals? ~;-)

Idea for Libre.fm

Idea for Libre.fm

"Who listens to" feature for libre.fm

Add this thought to the libre.fm wiki.

Have each page for a song show a tag cloud depicting who listens to the song. Larger tags means more listens. (Or a larger percentage of personal listens.) Click on the user/name tag and go to a page showing what all that person listens to. (Make this filterable wrt Free.)

I have been thinking about this since I first emailed it to myself this morning. I think if there is to be only one of the two possibilities above, it should be the percentage one, but perhaps this could be a toggle instead.

all the best,

On making use of Kompoz for music classes in school and for classes in music school.

I think kompoz and music classes or kompoz and music school is a great fit. I will likely ramble a bit in the first draft of this document as I try to get ideas down and brainstorm in public. If there is any interest, I will then try and do a better draft in a more ordered fashion.

* copyright permission paper for underage students?

* teacher can download seps and make mixes missing the part that their student plays and let them play with the band so to speak.

* students can be given the assignment to make tabs for their part of any project track.

* students can be given the assignment to make sheet music for their part of any project track.

(more to come)
