Fair Use in Digital Media (the story of Kind of Bloop)
A Perfect Circle Portland fans, my photos will be posted by midday today.
Almost two years ago, I posted about an interesting 8-bit tribute album of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue called Kind of Bloop. I like it, more in concept than execution, but I liked the music nonetheless. Well, the guy who put it together Andy Baio (who also helped start Kickstarter) got in hot water with the original photographer Jay Maisel for Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) violations. He settled out of court, but was he in the wrong? Personally, I think not.
I mean, his use of the photo was altered in a way that appears consistent with the fair use provisions in the copyright law. Check out the full read over on the waxy.org article “Kind of Screwed“…
What do you think? And what do you think about these transformative recreations?
What is art, and can derivative works be safe from legal harassment? Where does the line get drawn?

Miles Davis’ Kind of Bloop
Not entirely sacrilegious. A new tribute to Miles Davis‘ Kind of Blue called Kind of Bloop just came out… it’s an 8-bit tribute album. There are samples of the 5 songs on http://www.kindofbloop.com/, and it’s available via Amazon digital (mp3 & FLAC) for only $5.
- So What by Ast0r [9:24]
- Freddie Freeloader by Virt [9:40]
- Blue in Green by Sergeeo [4:14]
- All Blues by Shnabubula [10:45]
- Flamenco Sketches by Disasterpeace [7:06]
I wonder if Bitches Bloop, Birth of the Bloop, or a Charlie Parker Bloopland are in the works. :)
