cease and desist order 復習

 プリンスが亡くなってから一年が経ちます。

How Prince revolutionized the music biz

Prince was one of the first artists to use the internet to distribute music, but that lost momentum when it didn’t work to his satisfaction. Ever impatient when he lost control, he eventually began dissing the internet because of free streaming services for music and videos. He ended up sending countless cease-and-desist orders and pursuing other legal remedies. In 2015, he returned to an alternative system of peer-to-peer distribution by having fans sell his “Hit N Run Phase II” CDs on their own as if they were his independent sales reps.

“I think Prince was very aware that he was born decades too early,” said Joel Weinshanker, whose Graceland Holdings runs Paisley Park. (He never knew Prince personally.) “He foresaw the internet. He foresaw the peer-to-peer relationship. He really shepherded that and understood that better than anyone. He understood the value in ownership before really anyone else did.”

 今回はcease and desist orderを調べました。『リーダーズ英和辞典』(第三版,研究社)によると、「(不当競争・不当労働行為に対する)停止命令」とのことでした。『新和英大辞典』(第五版,研究社)には、「(行政機関の発する不当な)営業・労働行為の停止命令」と載っておりました。

 過去のブログにcease and desist letterというものが取り上げられておりましたので、そちらもあわせてご確認ください。(Gomez)
