NOTE: We received a message from Spotify for Creators stating that it had identified copyrighted third-party content in our podcast. This is incorrect.
The theme music for our podcast is Antonin Vivaldi Violin Concerto in G Minor, RV315 ‘Summer’. The particular recording used was downloaded from Musopen.com, a non-profit which produces and disseminates public domain music via recordings, sheet music and educational resources concerning Western classical music. The licence for using this specific download was identified on Musopen.com as Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal.
That this is the only recording we have used, yet has been flagged as six separate recordings within the nine published versions of the podcast, with both Universal Music and Euphoria Ltd set as rights holders. This should demonstrate the difficulty with regard to copyright enforcement for performances of classical music, and differentiating between public domain recordings and copyrighted recordings.
This podcast has no ads, or any paid subscription or other mechanism for making any money whatsoever, a fact we hope will allow the descendants of Antonin Vivaldi to rest soundly in their beds.
In this episode, Porpoise Song – Single Version by the Monkees was also flagged. This song was included in the form of a clip from the movie Head (1968). The content constitutes Fair Use, as it was included for the purposes of criticism and review.
Great Song though. Big Monkees fans.
Summary and Links:
In the tertian episode of FFS, Ciara and Conor discuss the life and films of Jack Nicholson, and Showcase one film in particular.
Spoiler: It’s The Fortune (1975). But they also talk a lot about Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, About Schmidt, the Shooting (and the Roger Corman days), Head (and the Monkees), Something's Gotta Give, Tommy and Broadcast News. How do you know? Because you listened to the podcast.
