1) London, UK bas… Read Full Bio ↴There are, at least, four artists using this name.
1) London, UK based DJ/production duo Sam Holt & Gavin Mills endeavour to make soulful house with a global vibe. They are soon to release of their debut album - Voices and Visions. A collection of soulful house, classic song-writing, with latin / afrobeat / disco / funk / tech influences, with guest singers.
‘Voices and Vision’s’ is set propel Copyright into the super league of global house players. Having their first proper release on the hugely influential US label Soulfuric back in 2000, the boys proceeded to put out a slew of quality tracks on that and several other labels (including their own imprint, Copyright Recordings) in the early noughties. Tracks like ‘Good For You’ feat Angie Brown, ‘Bulo’ with longtime friend and percussion collaborator Shovel and ‘Release Yourself’ set the pace, while their move to Defected in 2005 saw them jump up a gear with tracks like ‘He Is’, ‘Bring Me Love’ and ‘I Pray’. The international recognition they received from these releases culminated in Defected boss Simon Dunmore asking Copyright to mix the 2007 ‘Miami In The House’ compilation. Distilling the Copyright sound while showcasing their mixing prowess and nose for what makes a great party, it went on to sell more than 30, 000 copies globally. Which begs the question, with so much success, how come it’s taken them so long to finally deliver their debut long player? “I think we wanted to wait until the time was completely right,” says Gavin. “We were quite happy developing our sound, gaining production experience and honing our DJing. Then out of the blue Simon said ‘you guys should do an album. Why don’t you give us three maybe four new tracks, we’ll put it together with some of the stuff we’ve released before.’ It evolved and we’ve ended up with about eight new tracks.” And it’s been more than worth the wait. Sublimely blending their trademark soulful sound with a host of other influences, the album is a reflection of their varied and universally-appealing DJ sets. “There are tracky parts, classic song writing, percussive stuff, deep elements and even some hip house!” enthuses Sam. The hip house comment refers to the inclusion of original acid and hip house pioneer K.C. Flightt, alongside new school rapping sensations Mr V and Miss Patty and old school don, the inimitable Jazzie B. “We wanted to represent a bit of UK flavour. It’s great to have an English accent on a house record. We went down to Brixton and came back with that iconic sound,” says a wide-eyed Sam of the band’s experience of working with the Soul II Soul legend. Elsewhere, longtime cohorts Shovell, Imaani and Tasita D’mour make an appearance, ensuring continuity for the original Copyright fans, while all brining something new and unique to the mix as the Copyright family pushes the sound forward. In keeping with their global ethos, expect to see the boys DJing around the world to promote the album in 2008, including a number of live performances with the album’s guest artists – cementing ‘Voices and Visions’ position as a key release for 2008 in Britain and overseas. At a time when the UK’s reputation abroad isn’t all that. It’s good to see some of Her Majesty’s subjects doing their bit to spread the love. (http://www.myspace.com/copyrightproductions)
2) Alternative rock band from Liverpool drawing influences from U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and the the like.
3) Slow, one of the greatest of the mid '80s Vancouver rock bands, disintegrates in a welter of booze, drugs and fun, and Thomas Anselmi (vocals) and Christian Thorvaldson (guitar) run off to Vancouver Island with a record deal, and enough cash to buy a whole lot of dope. The band's line up is rounded out by bassist Eric Marxsen and drummer Pete Bourne.
Time ensues. More time ensues. Smoke signals arise. More time ensues. Copyright is what emerges. Throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, Copyright released three albums. Initially, the band spelled its name as the symbol ©, pronounced as "Circle C". Under that name, they released a self-titled debut album on Geffen Records in 1991. Their second album, Love Story, was released in 1996, and the third and final album, the Hidden World, was released in 2001. Both Love Story and the Hidden World were released on BMG Records.
The Hidden World was co-produced by Dave "Rave" Ogilvie and Jamey Koch.
4) London based 5 piece without guitars who released the album "Clearance" and the single "Reverse/Certain" on the label Imprint. Band memebers were Wren, Richard, Chris P, Andrea and Mitch

Copyright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the blackness
Outside the axis
Of Christian praxis
The sermon's malice
The silver chalice
Are not so sacred
You can't control it, no
Don't want to save my soul
Well come on
Let's rock and roll
It's my nature to take of what I see
Every creature knows the longing to be free
Deep in the city my father named me
With words so pretty my mother shamed me
Without much pity the teachers blamed me
But could not tame me
Above the steeple the owl looks down
At the holy people in their flowing gowns
As the censer waves the frankincense north and south
As the priest puts the bread in the people's mouths
Mother Nature must have made a man like me
Every creature knows to take of what it sees
Some want the preacher to show them what to be
But I look to nature and I'm longing to be free
Mother Nature is beautiful to me
Every creature knows to take of what it sees
Some want the preacher to show them what to be
But I'm made by nature and I'm longing to be free
Cause it's in my nature
It's my nature
Mother Nature

Mother Nature
The song "Mother Nature" by Copyright speaks about the inherent nature of man and how it relates to the outside world. The opening lines suggest that young girls get used to the darkness of the world, away from the mainstream religious practices. The sermons and rituals of Christianity are trivial compared to the true beauty of the natural world. The singer goes on to say that you can't control the inner nature of someone, and they have no interest in saving their soul. This leads to the catchy chorus of "let's rock and roll," indicating that the singer is not interested in conventional ways of living.
The next verse speaks more personally about the singer's upbringing. He was born in a city and had to face harsh societal norms that he did not appreciate. He was often shamed, blamed and not understood, but it could not change the essence of his being. The next four lines speak about a bird's eye view of a church and how the holy preacher and the congregation go through their religious motions. They burn incense, wave censors, and priests put bread in people's mouths. Through these practices, they want the preacher to show them who they should be, but the singer looks to Mother Nature, knowing it's in his nature to be free.
