<DIV>I totally agree with Pat. It is time that the Glenn Gould Foundation and
the Glenn Gould Estate and the Sony Corporation and the CBC and the Library of
Canada (did I miss anyone?) realize that time is passing and address the issue
of and pursue the making ALL OF GLENN GOULD'S ART available to the world.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear Glenn Gould Foundation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have recently noticed that gould-related items have
been removed from Ubuweb. I don't know who is responslbiel for this action,
but I suspect that it was either The Foundation, someone from Sony or the CBC.
Of course we are talking about copyrighted material and it is not clear wether
Ubuweb had the explicit permission from the rightsholders to host this
material in the first place As of yet this material has not been incorporated
into the sites of the CBc or The Foundation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It is also fine to remove "illegal" clips from youtube
but at least in rock music some bands have decided to open their official
channels and I haven't seen an official GG channel as of yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In any case this raises a few questions, at least for
me. It is my understanding that it should be the main goal of The Foundation
to preserve GG's audiovisual legacy, raise the awareness and make sure that
this material is accessible to scholars and fans alike both commercially and
non-commercialy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>To be honest with you I haven't seen much of that
lately. Let me give you a few examples:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- The GG Video Collection has not yet been released on
DVD. Why ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- The CBC has tons of audio and video that has never
seen a proper release. Why ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- There must be hours of master tapes, alternate
takes, outtakes, original acetates on vinyl and magnetic tapes deteriorating
or happily rotting away in a storage facitlity somewhere. Can you grant us
that this material will be transferred to digital media for prosperity
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- The Original Jacket Collection was a step into the
right direction. Can we expect further releeases of such quality in the near
future ? Can we expect anything at all ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thet should to it. For now anyway. Prizes and Luncheons
etc are fine but I doubt that GG would be pleased with the way his musical
legacy has bee treated lately. I know that 2012 is still a ways a way but it
would be nice to know the current state of affairs and as "fans" (meaning the
people who cough up their hard-earned cash to buy GG products) I reckon we
have the right to ask a few critical questions.</FONT></DIV>
