What steps should an artist take to avoid accidentally infringing?
Well, they could just not make music... but seriously, that's kind of a silly question. "How to avoid accidentally xyz-ing?"
I once wrote a bass riff that I thought was awesome and completely original. I realized years later that the same riff was one of Mike Einziger from Incubus made, though it was a guitar riff. I'm huge Incubus fans but I had no idea I actually copied 90% of the riff in coming up with my own. IMHO that shouldn't be punishable. Musicians are influenced by what they hear. You shouldn't demand 100% originality. I guess I just hate the fact that the money people have this kind of power over the music people.
How does Jamendo make sure that this "open licensed music from independent artists" doesn't contain accidental infringement, comparable to the "My Sweet Lord" case (Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music)?
Thanks for sharing that link, I wasn't aware of that case. To answer your question, "to make sure" is seemingly pre-accusing Jamendo of infringement. That's like accusing someone of stealing from a 7-11, simply because it's possible they *may* steal something. Completely baseless, and IMHO Jamendo should not have to put protections in place, spending their own money, for this. The infringing artist should be held liable for copyright infringement, not the owner of the medium in which it is delivered.
Thank you. IMHO there should be no blatant rip-offs but, you know, music is art and inspiration to create it comes from others who do the same. Birds don't plagiarize by copying/modifying bits of bird songs.
If that's the case, it saddens me to great degrees that humanity (not necessarily just the U.S.) needs to slap an aggressive spin to fund potentially peaceful projects. When will we all wake up and realize we're all on the same team? The I.S.S. is one example but I'm waiting for an accross-the-board realization.
This kind of stuff takes a lot of money. Is there any proof or compelling evidence that we *need* a space force separate from what our current military provides?
Funny how Jamendo was affected, a site that focuses on distributing open licensed music from independent artists. I was just literally listening to Jamendo a few minutes ago on my phone, they've got some really good stuff.
That tension will likely be what ends your life early unfortunately, if you allow (and even welcome) it like you're saying you do. And when you're dead you won't be able to go back and experience the bliss of being completely at peace with reality and your life. Hope that doesn't sound harsh at all. JMHO.
It's great that meditation is starting to become more common, but it will never work in the way these corporate people want it to.
It's sad for me to see something as pure as meditation be spun to be some sort of exploitable practice in the corporate world. IMHO it really goes to show how little the people who conducted this particular study understand it.
If you're working a job you dislike, meditation will help you realize that you don't like it. You're getting in touch with your subconscious. It may have been trying to tell you that there are better, more fulfilling options that will make you happier.
Meditation has always helped me be more creative. If your job doesn't allow for you to be creative, meditation will probably demonstrate to you what you've been missing. Coming out of a meditation session to do mundane work isn't a particularly good match. In fact I'd imagine it would just make the work that much less desirable to do, which is what was found in the study.
Before open source development was a thing, I imagine every development outfit was an island (unless there were cross-licensing deals in place). Now that there's all this pro-quality open source code floating around, these same types of outfits are "borrowing" it for their own proprietary means at no cost to them.
I think of a day when proprietary software is looked at with skepticism by default because it is so very likely that it contains this "borrowed" open source code. Most of that will likely be hidden away in the cloud, though, behind a different kind of lock and key.
We live in technologically interesting times, for sure.
I personally believe collective consciousness has always been a thing, it's just humans that need to learn how to "access" it. We're evolving in that direction it seems. Unfortunately I hate thinking about how people currently "in power" would try to control it. I have the feeling AI will play a big role in that attempt.
Raising the CAFE MPG number doesn't relate to air quality. Neither do attempts to limit "greenhouse gasses", which are the emissions changes in the regulations.
OIC, so a car that gets 1MPG won't affect air quality any more than one that gets 100MPG. Got it.
Unless I'm missing something here...feel free to clarify.

Isn't that true for literally everything regarding belief though?

I have a "theory" as to why that is, too: IT'S FUCKING APPLE. THEY DO VENDOR LOCK-IN.
Not that hard to figure out.
Here we go again with the penis wars.
It depresses me to no end that the leaders of nations act so much like petty school children.
How about a criminal probe into The Fed?

I sure fucking hope it's OS isn't Windows.
Or anything BUT open source based for that matter.

As far as pollution goes, the regulation in question has nothing to do with air quality.
Source please
Is what customers want in their products less efficiency and more pollution? Sorry, I'm confused.
The ones who have to adhere to tighter emission restrictions will always point the finger.
Imagine Elon Musk complaining about a government regulation that causes them to make more efficient batteries. Wouldn't happen.
Thank you, fellow UID 100k-er. That's my whole point. It's not about EVs vs gas-guzzlers, it's about the health of our shared living space.
That is absurd.
Fuck that reason. Fuck it right in the fucking ass. What a bunch of bullshit. "Oh, we can't be burdened to help preserve the health of our planet."
Fucking assholes.
Video killed the radio star.
If that's true, there would be no Pandora/Spotify/BandCamp/SoundCloud/etc.
