a new email from the mailing list :
hey guys
just wanted to inform everyone of progress with this
basically we're going to be delaying the launch of the new forum by about another week as we are now having full support by Aero Productions on the new forum, so basically we need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape and running smoothly before launching it
also, we're taking on the liberty of it being an independant entity on it's own, linked from Jarre UK (and anywhere else for that matter) with it's own personal domain name
i dont want to reveal any more information on it until launch
with regards to rules etc, we've been informed that JMJ himself does not have a problem with fans creating and releasing cover versions of his music FOR FREE as downloads (for example, like how Frequenz release their material) - however, legality issues come into effect if a fan wishes to release material for commercial purposes (even on apple itunes for example), or wish to play live concerts as licenses have to come into effect for that, so if anyone wishes to release material on a commercial basis, it has to be done through the proper channels such as a license from the record companies aswell as the copyright holders etc. but to reiterate, people like Frequenz are more than welcome to release covers for free with no commmercial value or gain. i guess if you wish to have something in writing on this, contact Aero Productions..
other things like posting images, linking to images and other websites, we dont have an issue with. of course, if someone's going to post links to commercially released material, we have an issue with that, and im sure JMJ and Aero Productions will also have a problem too.... it's a bit of a grey area with regards to audience recordings and recordings from radio and tv broadcasts, but again, so long as no material is sold, then it should not be a problem. we will of course be keeping an eye on things with regards to this, hence why we will be having teams of moderators. more on that at another time.
anyway, i'll keep you posted
