Over the years I have seen many tapes deliberately using copyright, 'chart music', often to try to make a boring tape seem more exciting. I have always warned anyone doing this that it is illegal, and risky.

Anyone not using music that they do not have the rights to can hardly complain if someone then copies their tapes !

The only time is is 'excusable' is on candid/public scenes where the music is in the background of the disco for example, however, even then it is still, strickly speaking, a breach of copyright.

While some of you may know of me, I've never posted anything here but I just saw something that I can't hold my silence about. A friend of mine ordered some wetlook tapes from a video producer and showed them to me. I was fairly disturbed by them because they had regular copyrighted popular music throughout them.

Now I'm sure if someone bought one of every different tape this producer sells and then made copies and sold them, the producer would be incensed and scream piracy. However he would probably never take into consideration that his crime is the same.

Has anyone else noticed this and has it bothered anyone else? Now the producer may argue that the music was just playing in the background but even if that excuse is used, it's still stealing copyrighted material.

I hope this isn't a trend in the wetlook world and I hope he examines his ethics for his subsequent volumes.
