Script | (SUGGESTED TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO)00:05The Secretary00:07General,00:19okay, thank you very much. Let us begin. Please establish00:35a very positive, constructive talk with the members of the Congress, and I want to thank them.00:45One of the purpose of my visit is certainly to support the initiative of the American administration to maintain the United Nations forces in Somalia until the 31 of March. I believe that this is very important, so that we will be able to achieve national reconciliation in Somalia. And I want to constructive discussion. We discuss not only the problem of Somalia, but we discuss the different situation all over the world, from Haiti to Bosnia to the problems of the United Nations, to the reform of the United Nations, and what we will do to obtain more support From the United States to the United Nations, because without the United States, the United Nations will not be able to achieve their goal, Mr. Secretary General. But it is important. First of all, the United States is not the only country who have said that they intend to withdraw.01:57Belgium have said this to me five or six months ago, France have decided to withdraw also. So we have to accept this and to prepare ourselves for a new situation in Somalia, and hope that we will be able to achieve the national reconciliation. The fact that the member states, certain member states, say we will withdraw, can be a pressure on the different faction so that they will accept to negotiate, and that they will be able to create their own provisional government.02:30Why the two months? No, no, we need this. It takes not. First of all, it is a question of credibility. The President of the United States had mentioned the 31 of March. We have built all our approach on the 31 of March, that it is important to maintain the search. But what concretely do you expect to have in place by the 31st of March that won't have been in place by the 31st of January? We need times in operational. Reconciliation cannot be we need time on patience cannot be done in 20 days. On the contrary, the longer period we have, the better it will be. Are you concerned? General ID will go unpunished.03:08This have to be decided by a commission, which we intend to create to dealing with what happened the incident of the five of June, and they will decided what, what was exactly the situation. Thank you.03:37Effectively before the court, the case is now before the court, and we believe that the position of Acuff rose and the music industry will be vindicated by this court, and have every hope that they will see this as we do, which is that this is not a fair use, it's a copyright infringement, it's a taking of a copyrighted work, and we'll so hold that. Could you characterize for us how you what you think two live cruise version of the song is? What is it? Well, I think it's no more than a rap,04:14an attempt to be a rap version of our copyrighted song. But what it does is change it more than it's permissible. It passes itself off to something else. And quite honestly, I think parody was an afterthought. Does it affect the market for the Roy Orbison song? Well, absolutely, as as Mr. Ross Dutcher argued before the court, a song that plays well in the 50s or 60s changes as each decade goes and and as we get into the 70s and 80s, there's a different beat, and acorn Rose has every right as copyright owner to exploit that song,04:53and two live crews taking of the song grossly interferes with that. What impact.05:00Think this would have on the music industry, though, to lose this case,05:04is there that much parity or wannabe parody out there? Well, I think it would be disastrous for the music industry, in that people will then feel that they have a license to steal, and piracy will become parody. We have said that. I mean, people will pirate songs. They will take songs without permission, and I think there'll be much more copyright in French. The two Live Crew folks are saying that what all it's lacking here is just a sense of humor. Why isn't this just a funny parody on the Roy Orbison song? Well, but it's not, and what it is is really an unauthorized taking of the song. And lots of people get licenses for parodies and05:44often a. |
