This is the story of the Jewish men and how their colossal noses became a stereotype.
There was once a lonely Jewish man, with his lamb chops braided to the end, dipping down to the mid stomach area. This man burly, but yet had the voice of a little boy before puberty. This man believed that because of his large nose, that it was only so large because of the amount of lies he told, because Jews were known commonly as liars. The sad truth is, that this man came out of the womb with a large nose. He must have told many lies because his nose was so long. He once walked straight into a wall and broke his nose from a mile away. How did his nose get so long you ask it was because his mother was a panda. It was quite weird.

Copyright

 Assignment:  Research the law on Copyright for music and lyrics. done. When you write music when do you have copyrights? After you copyright the music. How long do you have copyrights? copyritghts last forn 95 years, or when the composer is dead for 50. What does having copyright to music or lyrics really mean?  That credit must be given. In the US what is the current year for Public Domain music? 1923. What is the difference between public domain and proof of public domain? public domain means there is no copyright.  In your own words list rules for copyright music and lyrics. 

• The right to produce or copy the musical work (such as sheet music).
• The right to reproduce the musical work, including mechanical rights (such as cassette and digital audio reproductions) and synchronization rights (such as music in films, videos, and multimedia productions).
• Performing rights, which are the rights to perform a work in public (such as a live concert, a recording or any other type of public performance) and the right to communicate to the public by telecommunication (e.g., a broadcast).

SOCAN deals with only performing rights. All other rights are handled by the copyright owners or by other organizations.

The performing right gives copyright owners of musical works (lyricists, composers, songwriters) the sole right to perform, or authorize the performance in public (in concert or in a club, etc.) of their works or communicate their works by telecommunication to the public (broadcast on television or radio). In return for paying their royalties, SOCAN administers these performing rights in musical works on behalf of its members.

Buying a CD or other recording only gives you the right to listen to it in private. The public performance of these musical works is subject to copyright law and therefore requires a SOCAN licence.




Find one famous case on music or lyrics copyright infridgement - summarize.
Original: Led Zeppelin: Going to California
Rip-Off: Pearl Jam: Given to Fly [View]
Going to California is a song released by Led Zeppelin, in 1971. The single has a folk sound and it is different from other tracks included on Led Zeppelin IV. It is a fan favorite, with Robert Plant on lead vocals, acoustic guitar by Jimmy Page and mandolin by John Paul Jones. The lyrics of the song are reportedly about Canadian singer Joni Mitchell, with whom Plant and Page were both infatuated. In 1998, American rock band Pearl Jam released their 5th studio album. The first and most successful single on the record is named Given to Fly. The song reached the Top 25 in many countries, and peaked at #12 in the UK. It closely follows the structure and melody used by Led Zeppelin in Going to California.
The acoustic guitar beat used in the song is similar to the work done by Jimmy Page. However, critics have also labeled the track as a subpar attempt to mirror Led Zeppelin. Fans of Pearl Jam have named the single as one of the band’s most significant. When asked about the similarities of the two songs, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready stated “It’s probably some sort of rip off of it I’m sure…Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, but that was definitely one of the songs I was listening to.” It seems that the members of Led Zeppelin have taken the sample as a sign of respect. At a 2005 benefit concert, Pearl Jam and Robert Plant performed Given to Fly and then segued into Going to California.

emerging tech

One new technology emerging this year is a 'laser pointer' for detecting roadside bombs.
The creator, Marcus Dantus, says "creating something to detect these IED's is extremely important, but also difficult, because other chemicals out of the field can mask the few you are attempting to find."
The laser works by putting out an output of about the same as a simple presentation printer, and sending pulses which "kick", the molecules and make them vibrate, as well at long pulses used to "listen" and identify different "chords". These chords have different frequencies, much like fingerprints. This is a lot like sonar.\
