#The Arts

[knight-intraining]

Hey,

I don't talk a ton about my job, but I teach high school theatre and coordinate the afterschool program.

We are doing a popcorn fundraiser: you buy it online, it ships right to you, and we get half the profits. All funds we receive go straight to putting on productions - just the rights to put on a show are incredibly expensive. We are a title 1 school, which means our budget isn't great to begin with, and that our community doesn't have a ton of disposable income to support us. These kids need theater, especially in our world today - it is a priceless coping skill for them.

I know times are tough for all of us and arguably money should be spent on better causes. But if you could at least share - so it reaches someone who can give, me and my kids would be forever grateful! Sharing on other platforms is also great!

Thanks in advance for any support you can provide!

What I hope people understand is that so many artists would "have to quit" music if Ed loses this one. If chord progressions and drum beats (not samples) become copyrightable aspects of a work, infringement is going to reach insanity & it'll to be a shitshow if this is precedence

Thankfully, Ed Sheeran won this case

I’m posting this because I’ve seen memes going around cheering for Sheeran to lose “because haha then he quits music”. I think the people sharing them mostly aren’t aware of what an awful precedent this would have set. You do NOT want chord progressions and drum beats to become copyrightable

In general, when you hear about a lawsuit involving copyright / intellectual property (including “plagiarism”), you should be skeptical. When you hear explicit calls to expand intellectual property law, you should be hostile. I’m more and more unsettled by how credulous people on this website (and in general) are toward “progressive” framings of IP law, especially the notion that intellectual property somehow Protects Artists. It does not exist for the sake of working artists, it was created by and for capitalists

I detest Ed Sheeran’s music, I resent every second of his work that I’ve been subjected to, but I’m also not a fucking rube

Including his comments below because they’re accurate:

“We’ve spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies, and four chords which are also different and used by songwriters every day all over the world,” Sheeran said Thursday.

“These chords are common building blocks which were used to create music long before ‘Let’s Get It On’ was written and will be used to make music long after we are all gone. They are in a songwriter’s alphabet, our toolkit, and should be there for all of us to use. No one owns them or the way they are played in the same way that nobody owns the color blue.”

Every December thousands of Rat Kings are unjustly murdered by toy soldiers due to human intervention. That's why this holiday season I'm partnering with Smith and Wesson.

For the low low price of $300 YOU can give a rat a gun.

Andrew Has Had Enough

This is the place for Ashley to finally say "I'm yours" instead of "you're mine". Might save her, might not.

Okay time to get nonconning the Graves, it's what I do best. :D

the arts - dance, performing arts

dance, when you're broken open. dance, if you've torn the bandage off. dance in the middle of the fighting. dance in your blood. dance when you're perfectly free

St. Catherine of Bologna

1413-1463

Feast day:  March 9

Patronage: Artists

Saint Catherine, an Italian nun, and mystic was educated in the arts. She joined the Franciscans as a tertiary, then eventually, the Poor Clares. In Bologna, she started a new convent and was appointed its Superioress. Her mystical visions included battles with Satan and an ecstatic experience of having the baby Jesus placed in her arms by the Blessed Mother. Buried without a coffin, she was exhumed after 18 days and found uncorrupted. Six hundred years later, her body remains intact and is seated on a golden throne behind a glass case in the Church of the Saint in Bologna.
