Don't know why you should feel guilty about buying used books or CDs. The artist has been paid and this is perfectly legal.

Subject: (exotica) Tabu movie showing at Stanford
1931 Silent movie Tabu filmed in Bora Bora will be showing at the
Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, CA on Dec. 18-19th. The movie features an
all-Polynesian cast and will be shown with its original musical
soundtrack (not organ).
This in no way makes up for missing Martin Denny and Don Tiki playing
this Saturday at Don Ho's (especially since I was just in Hawaii), but
might be interesting.

I quite enjoyed the stuff I heard, mostly because many tracks had
vocals, which I think fits Hawaiian music well. The other reason I
mentioned him in this thread (besides the "Ooh! famous relative!"
connection) was because I think he's an example of quite early British
Hawaiian music (I forgot to say that).

Please count me interested, Ton, if it won't eat up too much time. A good
summary would do. Thanks! Mimi

There is an absolutely beautiful version of the title cut on Walter
Wanderley's "Kee-Ka-Roo" release, with a female singer whose name
currently escapes me singing in absolutely gorgeous tones! Highly
recommended! And generally available these days...

I feel guilty cuz I've seen the dismay on my husband's face when he comes
across copies of his novels in the used bookstores. Another royalty he
didn't get, and the bookseller gets all the profit. (Not that begrudge
booksellers their profits. I just know what it's like to see someome else
rakin' in bucks over my work.) BTW, authors get no royalties on
remaindered books. So even though Jim's latest book is on sale in the
latest Daedelus catalog, he'll get no dough from it. He was pleased that
Daedelus is marketing the remainders. Particulars: Publish and Perish,
James G. Hynes. Is the similar policy in place for music cutouts?
One other question: Writers get lower royalities on books sold through the
discounters Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobels, and some Borders selections. Is
the same true of CDs sold through music discounters like CDNow?
Thanks for wisdom.
Mimi
Now I really WILL shut up.

Is there any chance the Martin Denny/Don Tiki appearance will be
video/audio taped?
Given the multi-generational participation at this event (on Saturday at
Don Ho's) it sure seems like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Sure
wish I could afford to fly over there to see it...
Lloyd, be sure to report back to us on how things go... :-)

But he already got a royalty from the copy; just not from the resale and considering how firmly established the First Sale Doctrine is, this is unlikely to change. It seems like an equitable arrangement to me--not only in its particulars but because changing it would probably do serious damage to the state of our culture--and yes that's speaking as someone who's had work resold with no further payment to myself.
