    Copyright occurs automatically under the Berne Convention, which has been signed by almost all countries.

    All intersting comment ... but doesn't this all relate to the choreography not the track? The choreography of the two dances, as i remember, were very different ... so why couldn't they BOTH be allowed?

    The general principle is that dance routines can definitely be copyrighted (if that's the right term). But I'd imagine that asserting that copyright, and actually gaining anything useful (i.e. cash compensation) from that assertion, in the MJ world, would be extremely difficult.

    So, yes, in that instance it seems strange - but that's 4 years ago, is it relevant now?

    Are you crazy? Do you think I'm made of money?

    Just had confirmation from Tony at C2D. Turns out both teams were using the SAME choreopgraphy, a routine developed by Nicky. One team had paid for it. The Notts team had not and aknowledged the mistake and were allowed to present it as entertainment in the evening. Seems perfectly sensible, it wasn't the music that was the issues but ownserhip of a specific routine ... mystery solved

    Just to confirm, as I did on the phone to Gus earlier, this problem was not a C2D prob, and as it happens, all 3 parties involved almost sorted it out between themselves (if only it was always that simple).
    The only thing we did was to let the team perform their routine after the competition as a caberet. (as we do understand all the hard work and commitment involve in a team). This again was discussed with all 3 parties and 'The show went on' , I seem to remember the only down side was believing it would only take 45secs to sort out the pyrotechnics, it was more like 10 mins.

    I do hope this answers any queries arising from this matter.

    Please if anybody ever has any questions regarding the competition, do not hesitate to contact us directly, either through PM or via our www.achance2dance.co.uk ,we will be only too pleased to answer you (it may not be the the answer you want to hear ......but hey!!!!!)


    Hope to see you all soon, in fact in 3 weeks.....arghhhhhh, can't stop things to do. cya
