Very limited-edition Dylan box set is all about copyright protection
An interesting article in the UK Guardian details how a new box set of Bob Dylan demos, limited to only 100 copies, is a tactic to provide copyright protection for the material, which otherwise could be freely boolegged in Europe.
The gist is, by "officially" releasing it now, Dylan's label can prevent bootlegging of the songs and release them more widely at a later date.

Although the European Union has extended copyright terms from 50 years to 70 years, the extension only applies to recordings that have been released during the 50 years after they were made. Sony was therefore forced to release these songs – albeit in limited form – before the end of 2012, when their half-century was up.
"This isn't a scheme to make money," a source explained to Rolling Stone. "The whole point of copyrighting [this material] is that we intend to do something with it at some point in the future. But it wasn't the right time to do it right after [Dylan] released Tempest."
Rare color pics of Beatles' 1964 tour up for auction
A group of 65 color slides from the Beatles' 1964 American tour are going up for bid.
They were taken by award-winning physicist Dr Robert "Bob" Beck.
Ernie Sutton from the British Beatles Fan Club said:
"New photographs that emerge of The Beatles are always of interest to the fans, but with the majority of photographs from this tour in black and white, it is a delight to see colour photographs from that historic tour."
Dr Beck's slides also feature close-up portraits from the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel press conference, the Las Vegas Convention Centre gig, plus shots of a private party at the Beverly Hills mansion of the then president of Capitol Records, Alan Livingston.
