Mashups: Are they Copyright Sin?
Posted on 22. Apr, 2008 by Aaron Marshall in Social Media
C.S. Lewis and S.M. Lockridge did not give me permission to create or share these. Should I remove them from the web immediately? Any fair use legal advice would be GREAT!
Mere Christianity Mixes
C.S. Lewis’s audio book “Mere Christianity” dubbed over mixes of ambient house, drum n bass and electronica.
S.M. Lockridge’s “My King” 2008 High Energy Remixed Version

I don’t know if they break any copyright laws – I would imagine that they probably do. I’m more interested in finding out where I can legally purchase the C.S. Lewis Mixes – I think that’d be something great to listen to on an early morning run!
I like the music behind the C.S. Lewis reading.
I’ve been thinking about having music played in the background while I preach…I am working on some ways to pull it off well and not lame.

could be used as witnessing to the techno/dance/rave type persons who dont read books and need constant music in the background. to go around supposed copyright legal stuff just give credit where it is due.
Hey I have seen the that’s my king a few times over the past year and I was just wondering if its possible to have a copy of it please?
Copyright laws are usually for 75 years after the original date of publication, and can be renewed by the executor of the estate. Lewis’ copyright is likely held by any progeny of his two adopted sons from his marriage. The point of all C.S. Lewis’ writings after becoming a Christian were to share with people about Jesus and his saving power, so it is highly likely that no one will contest it. I don’t know anything about the other person, however. My guess would be that Lewis himself would be pleased that his words can still inspire today.
I would suggest you check with distributor of the audio books by C.S. Lewis. As far as I understand it all public use of properties like that need to have written consent given by the party that produced it. Most likely they will sell you a license which you have to have to distribute those things in a public forum.
