Hey there, Ric.

Nobody doubts you filed papers. I simply question whether you really understood what you did when you licensed the work creative commons.

I DO OWN The Electric Slide -
I have filed with the Library of Congress back on Feb 28th 2006 and am STILL waiting for a decision from them – but have received a letter stating that since I have filed my paperwork – I can file suit on an infringement basis -
I have all the legal documentation to PROVE that I created and copyright protected my dance in 1976 – and am presently being shown on National TV Shows with credit being given for my work -
You might want to do a little more research -

typo error…
‘..FIRST recorded in the winter of 1983.’ should read ‘..FIRST recorded in the winter of 1982′.

Hi,

During any part of the proceedings did anyone do ANY basic checks on the dance itself. By this I am referring to Ric Silver’s INSISTANCE that the dance was ‘invented’[Ric Silver's original word] to the music of ‘Electric Boogie’ by Marcia Griffiths AND this was done in the year 1976.
Simply, if one have done a very basic check they would have found that the song was FIRST recorded in the winter of 1983. And if they had delved a little deeper they would have also thrown a VERY large cloud on Mr. Silver’s insistance that Bob Marley was also on the recording. There are many other anomalies and contradictions within Rick Silver’s version of ‘event’s that for the most Junior of Schoolchildren to say…’Hang on.. how can this guy says he choreographed a dance some 13 years or 6 years (if he managed to get hold of a UK/Jamaican copy) prior to the release of the music….. ‘.
The answer is quite simple… he didn’t and thats if he EVER Choreographed the dance in the first place. If he lied about the music…

Did ANYONE read the discussion on Wikipedia site (The Electric Slide) and IF they did did they notice the mega number of times Ric Silver altered his story to suit.

Going off the result of the findings – obviously not.. and THAT sickens me.

I continue to disagree (and I assume you mean you’re siding with Jason Schultz, not Jason Scott) because of the fact that this imbues the guy with the sense he owns a tiny part of the dance; just look at his comments in the previous weblog entry.
