In Reply to: RE: Those European box collections posted by SamA on January 18, 2024 at 10:03:28
SQ is one concern, but intellectual/artistic property rights is another. Many small European reissue labels do not pay artist or their estates royalties for the use of copyrighted materials.

European copyright law provides for much shorter copyright times than does US law. Thus, a European company issuing USA created material in Europe is strictly within the bounds of European law.
My problem with the Europeans is that they will use USA made and licensed box sets from which to issue their own box sets. This happens to Mosaic all the time. Mosaic puts in the time and effort and pays the fees, and then gets ripped off by the Europeans. Note that Bear Family licences ALL their material from USA copyright holders.
USA copyright holders don't seem to care that European made box sets get imported to USA. Maybe the USA copyright holders should work to prevent these "pirated" works from entering USA.
I've never felt USA copyright protections should extend beyond about 25 years or the life of the artist, whichever comes first. If you can't make your money in 25 years, well maybe your "art" is not so very good.

As a retired architect, I am quite attuned to copyright issues. It is nearly impossible and quite expensive to protect against theft of ones designs. As to musical artists, why shouldn't artists and their estates be able to profit from their creations. After 25 years, if their is enough demand for their work to be an issue, then their "art" is VERY GOOD.
I take my hat off to folks like Zev Feldman of Jazz Detectives, who works closely with artists and their offspring and painstakingly restores/remasters the original tapes to produce LPs and CDs of outstanding SQ.
Ciao,
