In 1940, Kenneth Morris left Bowles Music House and teamed with gospel singer Sallie Martin to start his own publishing business, the Martin & Morris Music Company. Martin (1896-1988) had come to Chicago in 1927 from Pittsfield, Ga., to work with another gospel pioneer, Thomas A. Dorsey. Her group, the Sallie Martin Singers, traveled throughout the United States and Europe. Martin remained associated with the Martin & Morris Music Studio until 1975.

Back in 2013 Disney/Pixar released the animated hit film, Monsters University, which included our song Gospel as the closing credits theme song. It created a bit of a stir. Since the song was not included in the official soundtrack of Randy Newman originals, at first no one knew who wrote it (Eric Miller) or where it came from (our album "Rise Up"). Once word got out, we began to get requests for the sheet music. So we sat down and made song books (for trumpet, trombone, and sax) that include Gospel and eight other songs by members of MarchFourth. We also put together the complete score, which is available for download.

Plaintiff is a New York corporation organized in 1953; defendant is a New York corporation organized in 1932. Both are engaged in the business of acquiring from the owners of copyrighted music the exclusive right to license the public performance for profit of the copyrighted compositionsknown as the performance rights. The bulk of these licenses is issued to radio and television broadcasters for mechanical transmission rather than live performances.

Specifically, it is alleged by plaintiff that defendant by its contracts with its affiliated "publishers" (the copyright owners) of gospel music accomplishes a pooling of copyrights and revenues in restraint of trade in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act; that defendant has thus acquired a "monopolistic stranglehold" in the licensing of the performance rights of shaped note gospel music with the resulting power to eliminate competitionparticularly on the part of plaintiffin violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act; and third, that under its licenses it has imposed "tie-in" arrangements and fixed prices in violation of Section 3 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S. C.A.  1, 2, 14).

The monopoly alleged is in the performance rights in shaped note gospel music. Performance rights are only rights to perform music publicly for profit; they are rights completely separate and distinct from the publishing, recording or synchronization rights.

Gospel music, as the term is understood in the performance trade, is popular music with lyrics based on the four Gospels of the New Testament but with a text that expresses spiritual values in material, worldly tones and in a personal, homely vein. The music may range from a rythmical, bouncy, jazz, ragtime, blues tempo to the slower tempo of hillbilly, country music or popular sentimental ballad. It is said to be an outgrowth of white spirituals which developed in the South after the Civil War period and is still composed and widely performed there. The distinguishing feature of gospel music is its characteristic lyrics; it is a hymn "addressed to the Deity. It is praise or prayer. The word `gospel' means good news and the gospel song is addressed to men". The music of gospel music may be printed in round notes, which is the usual note identified by its position on the musical staff, or in shaped notes where in addition to oras the case may beinstead of identification by position the musical note is identified by its shapea square, triangle, diamond, etc.each note always having a particular shape.

Although much of the gospel music is composed or transposed into shaped notes, it may be written in both or either form of notation or for that matter any type of musical notation. The shaped note system is not copyrighted (any more than is the round note). Its value is that one untrained in sight reading may be more easily taught to read musical notes from their shapes, rather than from location, whereas one trained will ignore the shape or formation of the notes and rely solely on staff position. Neither sound, lyrics nor type of music is affected by the shape of the note; both sound exactly the same to the listener when properly sung.

Shaped note composition predominates in the South, where most of the gospel music is written. It is sung at the *868 "National Singing Conventions", for the twofold purpose of entertainment and to introduce and promote the new gospel songs through the "plugging quartettes". These quartettes, which number about 1,000, are usually trained and organized in schools maintained by the gospel music publishers where both shaped and round note singing is taught. Since gospel music partakes of the ephemeral value of other popular music, it is essential that new songs be continuously published and plugged in a steady stream. For sale to the public at these singing conventions and at other times the songs are printed usually in shaped notes, on cheap pulp paper in pocket size manila covered books. The contents of these books includes both copyrighted and uncopyrighted songs. The renditions at these conventions are "live" performances but they are frequently broadcast and often recorded, which recordings are later broadcast and televised.

The gospel music publishers have an association known as "The Gospel Music Publishers Convention". Some of its quartettes and better known interpreters The Blackwood Brothers; The Statesmen Quartet; Joe May, "The King of the Gospel Singers"; Mahalia Jackson, "The World's Greatest Gospel Singer"; and Roberta Martin's Gospel Music Studiopublish their own catalogs containing the songs for which they are noted. There are also numerous other publications containing the latest and most recent compositions in gospel music.

Through the combination of radio and television broadcasts and the sale of sheet music and song booksgospel music has been exploited and developed into a profitable business, carried on in well defined markets. But, while the performance rights field is not concerned with the shape of the note but rather with the lyrical and musical content of the composition, the publication or printing rights field is concerned with shaped notes and makes a distinction between the two forms of notation. The reason for this is that gospel song books and sheet music are sold principally to amateurs who are able to read only from shaped notes; consequently, they demand and require compositions so printed. Music written in round notes can be transposed readily into shaped notes. Many of the composers see in the first instance their music in published shaped notes. These publishing rights are separately owned and licensed by organizations such as Hill & Range (of which more later) and have nothing to do with the "minor" or performance rights which defendant as the third largest organization in the country (the other two being ASCAP and BMI) licenses. 0852c4b9a8
