Explanation of what Maven—HubPages’ parent company—is.

Update to the HubPages Privacy Policy and Terms of Use


Hello, everyone!

As many of you know, HubPages is now a part of Maven. Maven is a unified, shared publishing platform for three types of media publishers: individual experts (like our Hubbers), small publishers with community backing, and flagship brands (like TheStreet, History.com, and Sports Illustrated). Maven provides a sustainable business through managed monetization, traffic distribution, technology, and other services. Being part of the much broader Maven ecosystem of websites allows us to potentially get your great content in front of even more readers.

As part of its leadership in helping experts to publish their content online, Maven is deeply committed to the exact type of author programs that HubPages has been building for over a decade. In fact, Maven is investing even further in the HubPages platform and approach—more than HubPages could have done standalone. In addition, Maven’s breadth of publishers elevates our visibility and scale with advertisers, including more access to premium brands.

The net point of all this, and how it applies to you, is to emphasize that our goal is to increase readership, help elevate your earnings potential, and keep you happy publishing with us!

To consolidate across the company, on January 29, 2020, we are moving to a unified set of Maven terms and privacy rules, which you can view here, here, and here.

In anticipation of comments and questions, here's a summary with some key topics.


Why Are We Updating Now to a New Terms Of Use & Privacy Policy
HubPages is officially part of the broader Maven Coalition, and it is important that the entire company and all of its users are under one umbrella.

What Are The Primary Changes That May Impact My Account(s)
As of January 29, 2020, we are implementing two updates to the HubPages Earnings Program:

1.  Authors will no longer need to sign up for Google AdSense in order to participate in the HubPages Earnings Program. This means that new authors will have the potential to start earning right away! This has been a barrier for authors in the past, and we are happy to provide an easier path toward earning.

Why are these programs changing now?
We need to get all authors across Maven on a consolidated and simplified set of ad-partner programs and systems. It is more than likely that our unified central accounts (at our scale) will yield at a higher rate than your standalone accounts. 

What About My Earnings
While every situation and time period is unique and search traffic can fluctuate, we do not anticipate that HubPages authors will experience any major changes to earnings as a result of this update. In fact, when comparing to similar months from previous years, we suspect that your earnings will have a greater likelihood of increasing.

Do I still retain control over my content
Yes.  As has been the case since the inception of HubPages, you are the owner of your content.  We are grateful you choose HubPages to publish your expert work, but you always have the right to remove your article(s) from the platform.

What Is Not Going To Change
Things overall will remain very familiar and similar to you.  Publishing will be as easy as ever. Our team will continue to update and improve the services that keep you writing on our platform.

Lastly, please feel free to ask questions, and we will do our best to give you answers in a timely manner. While we cannot promise that we'll be able to answer every specific question, we want to assure all of you that we're operating with your best interests at heart.  It is our business to keep you happy publishing with us, and we're here to help!

Theft! A History of Music - Duke University School of Law


This comic lays out 2000 years of musical history. A neglected part of musical history. Again and again there have been attempts to police music; to restrict borrowing and cultural cross-fertilization. But music builds on itself. To those who think that mash-ups and sampling started with YouTube or the DJ’s turntables, it might be shocking to find that musicians have been borrowing—extensively borrowing—from each other since music began. Then why try to stop that process? The reasons varied. Philosophy, religion, politics, race—again and again, race—and law. And because music affects us so deeply, those struggles were passionate ones. They still are.
The history in this book runs from Plato to Blurred Lines and beyond. You will read about the Holy Roman Empire’s attempts to standardize religious music with the first great musical technology (notation) and the inevitable backfire of that attempt. You will read about troubadours and church composers, swapping tunes (and remarkably profane lyrics), changing both religion and music in the process. You will see diatribes against jazz for corrupting musical culture, against rock and roll for breaching the color-line. You will learn about the lawsuits that, surprisingly, shaped rap. You will read the story of some of music’s iconoclasts—from Handel and Beethoven to Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Ray Charles, the British Invasion and Public Enemy.
To understand this history fully, one has to roam wider still—into musical technologies from notation to the sample deck, aesthetics, the incentive systems that got musicians paid, and law’s 250 year struggle to assimilate music, without destroying it in the process. Would jazz, soul or rock and roll be legal if they were reinvented today? We are not sure. Which as you will read, is profoundly worrying because today, more than ever, we need the arts.
All of this makes up our story. It is assuredly not the only history of music.  But it is definitely a part—a fascinating part—of that history. We hope you like it.

“The Do Nothing Machine, built by Lawrence Wahlstrom, plus stationary engines by Rudy Kouhoupt at the end. Craftsmanship Museum, Carlsbad, CA.

From the museum website at www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com - According to a newspaper article (paper unknown) from about the early 1960's, the inventor of this engineering marvel was Lawrence Wahlstrom, a retired clock maker. He worked in the newspaper business and for the telephone company, while also acting as caretaker and landscape gardener for a Beverly Hills estate for 40 years. He always enjoyed tinkering with clocks and had attended a clock school to learn about their repair. Somewhere along the line he acquired a fascination for gears. After coming across a surplus WWII bomb sight containing a complicated cluster of gears, he got it working again. He also realized that people prefer to be entertained rather than educated, so he began adding more and more gears to his assembly over a 15-year period starting in about 1948. The first known publicity photo of it appeared in 1950.

Over the years, the number of gears continued to grow, reaching either 744 or 764 depending on which account you read. Like the motion of the machine, the actual figure is somewhat fluid. It attracted a lot of media attention over the years, appearing in magazine articles and on TV shows. It was seen on both the Art Linkletter show and the Bob Hope show. The family archives also contain a telegram arranging for Mr. Wahlstrom to appear on the Garry Moore show in November, 1954. Life Magazine gave it a full page in the April 20, 1953 issue, and Popular Mechanics gave it ½ page coverage in the February, 1954 issue. In February, 1955 it was also featured in Mechanix Illustrated magazine. There were also many other newspaper and magazine articles documenting its constant evolution.

Called by its inventor variously a "Flying Saucer Detector" or other nebulous and facetious descriptions, his goal was to add at least 50 gears each year to the constantly growing project. As noted in Popular Mechanics in 1954, "We all know someone who works harder doing nothing than most of us work doing something, but we can't possibly know anything that works harder at nothing that a machine built by a California hobbyist. The machine has over 700 working parts that rotate, twist, oscillate and reciprocate—all for no purpose except movement."

At some point after the Do Nothing machine came into the possession of the Antique Steam and Gas Museum in the Joe Martin Foundation's home town of Vista, CA. It was put up for auction, where Mr. Wolf purchased it in about 2003, repaired it and for years took it to several shows a year for the public to enjoy.”

“The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America. Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. The Free Music Archive is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet. It was launched in 2009.

Every MP3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by copyright laws that were not designed for the digital era. These uses vary and are determined by the rights-holders themselves (please see our FAQ) who feel that allowing a degree of free cultural access is beneficial not only to their own pursuits, but to our society as a whole. The Free Music Archive is a resource for audiophiles of all stripes, and unlike other websites, all of the audio has been hand-picked by one of our established audio curators.
The Free Music Archive is a platform for collaboration between curators and artists, including radio stations, netlabels, venues, artist collectives, museums, music festivals and more. The site combines the curatorial approach that these organizations have played for the last few decades, with the community generated approach of many current online music sites.
Inspired by Creative Commons and the open source software movement, the FMA provides a legal and technological framework for curators, artists, and listeners to harness the potential of music sharing. Every artist page will have a bio and links to the artists’ home page for users to learn more about the music they discover via the Free Music Archive. We also seek to compensate artists directly where possible. Artist, album and song profiles may contain links to buy the full album from the artist and/or label’s preferred vendor(s). Users can also “tip” an artist if they like what they hear, sending a donation directly to the artists’ PayPal account. Artist profiles can include tour dates, encouraging users to step away from the glowing computer screen and see some real live music.
While the Free Music Archive is free and open to anyone regardless of registration or other requirements, written and audio content is curated, and permission to upload/edit content is granted on an invitation basis.
You can also access the FMA's extensive MP3 library via iOS and Android devices.”
