FIELDS OF GOLD COVER BY IRIS WATTS

*NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED*

I found the backing on iTunes, and figured I'd give it a go. It's one of my favorite songs, and though I sang it about 15 times, I don't things it's where it needs to be. Oh well, I still wanted to share what I came up with. Thanks for listening!! :)

CHAPTER 9. Fair Use

NEXT

Fair use is a copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials forpurposes of commentary and criticism. For example, if you wish to criticize a novelist, you should have the freedom to quote a portion of the novelist's work without asking permission. Absent this freedom, copyright owners could stifle any negative comments about their work.

Unfortunately, if the copyright owner disagrees with your fair use interpretation, the dispute will have to be resolved by courts or arbitration. If it's not a fair use, then you are infringing upon the rights of the copyright owner and may be liable for damages.

The only guidance is provided by a set of fair use factors outlined in the copyright law. These factors are weighed in each case to determine whether a use qualifies as a fair use. For example, one important factor is whether your use will deprive the copyright owner of income. Unfortunately, weighing the fair use factors is often quite subjective. For this reason, the fair use road map is often tricky to navigate.

This chapter explains the various rules behind the fair use principle. To help you get a feel for which uses courts consider to be fair uses and which ones they don't, we provide several examples of fair use lawsuits at the end of this chapter.

For educational fair use guidelines, see Chapter 7, which deals with academic permissions.

It's nice to have a new song. My Note is that occasionally it sounds like you're running out of air. But I had to listen twice to hear it, so... Good job! =) I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[kiwiphan]

Gosh I know! About the new song anyhow. I bet the problem was that I had sung this song for about an hour before this recording. I probably was running out of steam. I'm glad it wasn't very apparent though. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)

[RockMeggi]

Great job Iris!!  You're mom is right! You ***are*** her shining star! If I remember right, I saw a post of hers on Facebook the other day that said you got your wish and got to do Elphaba! Good for you!!!! You go girl!!! :)

[FYI: I went to school with your mom. She was I think a year or two behind me though. We just recently reconnected on Facebook. I found your video links from her page. ] :)

Hey Iris, another wonderful recording but this one I actually have something to say about. Someone has already said it but you need to ensure you are drawing full breath as it can sound as though you are a bit breathy and running out quickly, so breathe in full for those long notes - secondly, with the long notes you might want to try a crescendo through some of the notes to add some depth and keep those LOVELY sustained notes sounding fresh and as delightful as I know they can sound. Amazing! C

[kiwiphan]

Thank youuuuUU!

[kiwiphan]

:)! I really hope so too, and I really appreciate you supporting me in this dream of mine. :) :)
