The 50th Anniversary Collection




2011年、EUは音楽著作権延長の新たなルール、いわゆるクリフ・リチャード法を採択し50年だった権利保護期間が70年に延長されることになった。しかし期間が延長されるには条件があった。それは50年の保護期間中に「レコードを市場に流通させる」という事だ。この間に市場にレコードが出なかったらその作品はパブリックドメインになってしまう。

そんなわけでコロンビアは、除夜の鐘が鳴り終わったら権利が無くなる…なんていう悪夢を避けるために、昨年の暮れに4枚組のCDセット「The 50th Anniversary Collection/The Copyright Extension Collection, Vol. 1」を100セットだけでヨーロッパで販売したらしい。1962年～63年に録音された86曲のアウトテイク集だ。







写真を見たとき「CDRか?」と思ったらホンマにCDRやった。どっかの事務所で手作業でつくったのかと思うほどに酷い素晴らしい物だ。ケースにすら入っていない。eBayで10万円ほどで落札されて話題になっているが、30ユーロで買った物が1000ユーロで売れ、それが今度はいくらで売られるのだろう…。

著作権延長のために100セットだけつくるってまぁホモロゲのために車1000台作るみたいなものか。それにしても著作権は本当にわかりにくいなぁ。未だによくわからん。

そんなことより、RS誌の記事でソニーミュージックの某氏が「There are other things we want to do in 2013 though」と言ってる方がアレだな（笑）。今年は何か出るんでしょう。
