that

about: one of Gil’s percussionists had an instrument that perhaps looked and sounded a bit like two small steelpans put together (see brightened area of the photo below). Wonderful sound, little used to great effect.

Sorry this has nothing to do with copyright.
If you missed out on our moving images contest earlier this year, you have a second chance of sorts.
The Center for the Study of the Public Domain’s Arts Project Contest is based on our moving images contest.
A contest to create a 2-minute moving image that explains to the public some of the tensions between art and intellectual property law, and the intellectual property issues artists face, focusing particularly on either music or documentary film.
