    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Wasn't most of "Sam and Friends" just synced to hit records of the day? I don't see anything wrong with that. eric

    Looking for Muppet Show episodes

    Anyone know for sure about the CTS ones containing UK skits? I know that I noticed "Cottleston Pie" was a UK skit on the Season Guide, but I got it off of CTS. I think by the nature of North American programming, you can't officially fit the entire UK show on the air over here. Just too many...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    Wow, I go to bed and everyone goes nuts. I think you were all missing the humour in my post. Unfortunately, there's no smiley for "sarcasm" so from now on I'll just type this :sarc: How's that? :) Of course, people need to excercise some logic in copying. I know that all the...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    I've always wondered a few things about the "Fair-use" principle...see if anyone can help me. First of all, I used to run a business copying vinyl, cassettes, 8-tracks, and VHS to CD's for people, and this falls well within this category. However, since it is called a "Safety copy", and this...

    Vintage Henson VCDs Trade

    Just letting everyone know I have a few more on my list than I have listed here. Anyone who's emailed me is getting the complete list, but I'm not listing it here, as it contains lots of non-Henson related stuff. Once again, I'm sorry about having to remove Best of Ernie and Bert due to disc...

    It's a bird! It's a plane! It's - Bert?!

    Anyone download the launch video? Absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!!! There was one that they said went cartwheeling off the pad but you can only just catch it for a split second in the video. I really wanted to see that, as I've been laughing at the thought of it for the last ten minutes...

    Muppet Show DVD Audits

    I'm sorry, but I think "Feelings" by Beaker is the best song/sketch in the Diana Ross episode. I can never get enough of that one. eric

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    In the last few weeks, my store has been pumping in a Christmas music feed over the PA and every time "Run Run Rudolph" comes on (is it Sheryl Crow's version?) I'm transfixed by the second line in the song (in this version, anyway): "You bicka-bicka-bicka So you bicka-bicka-freeway down."...

    Favorite Christmas Songs

    "Do They Know It's Christmas" was a record set up to benefit the victims of famine in Africa in 1984. Sir Bob Geldof (not "Sir" at the time, just a singer) secured Paul Young, Boy George, George Michael, Sting, Phil Collins, Bono, Bananarama, Kool and the Gang, and a host of other huge pop...

    Sesame Street Biography on December 13

    If anyone thinks to tape it (it should be right in the middle of it right now, as I was unaware of the airing) on SP, I hope, or VCD, I'd love a copy. eric

    Favorite Christmas Songs

    I still get choked up over "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid (1984). I still have the original 45 w/ pic sleeve! I also love Bing Crosby's Christmas album. I have an early pressing of it from the 60's, but they processed in fake stereo, which drives me nuts. Also I love Boney M's...

    Muppets Tonight on DVD

    Limited runs don't necessarily save money. In fact, some smaller runs cost more to produce! When I was in a band that was releasing our material for sale, we got 1000 CD's of our first album for only a little more than our second album cost, and that was a run of 500! It's hard to say what...

    TV shows that drive you crazy!

    I always thought a funny line in Very Merry Muppet Christmas would have been if when David Arquette says to Kermit that 90% of TV shows were reality shows, Kermit should have replied, "Oh no! That's almost a 5% increase!" What do ya think? eric

    TV shows that drive you crazy!

    I can't believe nobody's mentioned "According To Jim"!!!! I can't stand shows/commercials/movies that make it look like all men are sports fanatics that can't handle themselves around the house with the kids. I was a stay-at-home dad for over a year and I really resent that stereotype being...

    Sesame Street Tribute Show

    That's actually a cool idea, since there's no number 1. Don't worry...I'll do it eventually...years from now, I imagine...playing most of the instruments myself or roping my friends into it. I'd love to do a whole album of the stuff. I could bet on most of the people here to buy a copy I'm...
