Salem | Saying, 'cheese' -- in a very big way

Gannett's Statesman Journal in Salem, Ore., published a video today that captures an annual tradition at McKay Senior High: making a 2010 senior class photo, where students form the number of their graduation year. (Related story. See front page, below; bigger view.)

  1. I guess they paid the licensing fee for the music? If I want to use licensed music I have to jump through all sorts of hoops!

  2. Maybe Earth's grandson, Wind's niece, and Fire's great-nephew were in the Class of 2010?

  3. No, they didn't license the music. If you go to youtube people use unlicensed music all the time. The difference with youtube is they have a link to buy a particular song directly from itunes. I don't see this type of cooperation with Gannett or any newspaper publisher.
    Maybe Silberman should form a committee to look into this.

  4. Yeah, and YouTube is constantly disabling videos that use unlicensed music. If they haven't found this one, they will soon.

  5. Except this is playing from Gannett's video platform. If the music hasn't been properly licensed and the rights holder finds out, they will be getting a big bill.
