ClauMüsste nicht eigentlich dringend wieder eine Veröffentlichung zur Wahrung der Lizenzrechte erscheinen, so wie im letzten Jahr die 6LP-Box?
Ich kenne mich da rechtlich gar nicht aus. Irgendwelche Experten hier?
Aber dieser Beitrag aus dem expecting rain Forum klingt ganz plausibel:
„In the EU the situation is as follows:
Recordings* made or released in 1962 or earlier are in the public domain, no matter what. That’s why the market is being flooded with unauthorized copies of Dylan’s first album and bootleg material from 1961 and 1962. And all those unauthorized early Rock ’n‘ Roll and jazz albums (on labels like Doxy, Jazzwax, Dolchess etc.).
The new European copyright law from 2011 protects recordings made in 1963 or later for 70 years, but only if the recordings were published within 50 years after they were made.
The law was passed in September 2011, but was only incorporated into the law of each EU member state by 2013 and thus only became effective in 2013.
Therefore Dylan’s 1962 Anniversary Collection (rel. in 2012) was superfluous legally, but at the time of its release the legal situation was unclear since the law was in the process of being incorporated into the member state laws. So I guess Dylan’s people went ahead with the release just in case (because of the legal situation being unclear they probably threw in a lot of uncirculating stuff, again, just in case).
The 1963 Anniversary Collection (rel. in 1963) on the other hand does benefit from the new law and its release extended the copyright of the enclosed recordings to 70 years from the date of release.
So it would make sense for Dylan’s people to release a 1964 Anniversary Collection this year to ensure an extended copyright for the heretofore unreleased (but circulating) 1964 recordings. It would only make sense for them to release circulating material, because only that material would be available to record companies dealing in unauthorized releases. Dylan’s people do not need to release uncirculating material that they have under lock and key, because nobody outside of the Dylan organization would have access to it. Since there is not a whole lot of circulating 1964 recordings, any 1964 Anniversary Collection would be a rather slim package.
*compositions are protected for life of author + 70 years“
