KINESCOPE RECORDING 335 certain personal rights as to the use which may be made of their performances; therefore, a release has to be obtained from them before a recording of their work may be made and used. The musical problem is one of the most complicated; the musicians as well as the music have to be cleared. Normally, in addition to regular broadcasting and televising clearances, per- mission to record and re-use must be obtained. However, this is usually made much more simple by the existence of Broadcast Music, Inc. which is an organization run by the broadcasters to publish and clear a large portion of the music which they use. Negotiations with the AFM are currently going forward to deter- mine exactly what payments and arrangements are to be made for recording and re-using music by union members. At present kinescope recordings may not be used more than thirty days after the date of production. And no films may be made for television using musicians. This latter ban has recently been lifted in the case of films for audition only, but these films must not, under any conditions whatsoever, be used for entertainment purposes. The situation as far as literary rights are concerned is much the same as for other aspects. That is, rights must be obtained for the single broadcast and for the delayed broadcast as well as for using the film later as a repeat entertainment production. Under the heading of kinescoping recording should be included closed-circuit recordings. This is a technique which may be likened to delayed broadcast transcriptions or to the system of using three film cameras mentioned in the chapter on production and the various methods employed. In the system under discus- sion, the performance is put on just as though it were a regular live program but instead of being broadcast it is fed to the film recorder. Later, when the program is required, it is used as a regular film. This can also be used to audition over the network's closed circuit in the case of programs which are to be sold in cities other than the ones where they are produced. Of course, this system does not produce such good photographic images as the direct film camera, but it is cheaper from the point of view of film costs.
