Klaus Heymann's naXos Pulls Historical Recordings From Stores After Copyright Ruling

[Mike Richter]

"If Cheryl Studer were to come to ME and ask to sing some of the operas
she has recorded, I wouldn't let her.", once said Klaus
'little-ain't-better' Heymann to The Boston Globe's Richie Dyer, 19
January 1994 (http://www.boston.com).

But what goes around comes around...

"The independent little record label naXos has asked stores to remove
some of its historical recordings from their shelves and return them, a
spokesman for the label confirmed today.

The recall is part of a settlement with Capitol Records stemming from a
copyright-infringement case that Capitol won earlier this year.

The case revolved around naXos' reissues of recordings released by the
British label Gramophone in the 1930s featuring Yehudi Menuhin, Pablo
Casals, and others. Gramophone is now part of EMI/Capitol.

The recordings were not protected by British copyright, which expires
after 50 years, or by U.S. federal copyright, which does not apply to
recordings made before 1972. But the New York Court of Appeals found in
April that common law-the body of unwritten civil law created by
court rulings-gave Capitol the right to royalties from the reissues."

Another in a long line of riduculous rulings.

And a stupid remark about Studer from the ridiculous Heymann.

I take it they were just pulled from the U.S. and are still available
elsewhere?

This isn't the real Mike Richter, but the Studer-obsessed fuckwit.

I can think of a few things the FBI might wish to take up with Tepper:

Well, if Tepper gets his kicks from tykes, that's his business. It is
loathsome, of course, but so is the person. They go together. Here we
just have to deal with his silly opinions and rank ignorance. That's
bad enough. I have no intention of dwelling on his nocturnal emissions
as well.

What goes around comes around indeed. Klaus Heymann is a minor league
loser.

This is of course from the Studer Troll, and not me
