‘The case for
the defence’

By ROD CURRIE
Canadian Press

When legal-beagle Edward

quarrelled over
things — food and sleep.

Even as a young man,
Greenspan's weight fluctu-
ated between 250 and 300
pounds. He required lots of
food to fuel his incredible
energy but very little sleep,
while Suzy needed her eight
hours of shut-eye.

One of her schemes to dis-
courage his nocturnal snacks
in their Toronto home
brought both issues into
heated, often hilarious con-
flict: she attached cow bells

to the door.
Greenspan, one of Can.
ada’s most brilliant criminal
lawyers, is totally mystified
by anything mechanical and
was incapable of removing
the bells or silencing them.
‘The result was a string of
middle-of-the-night rows
over his fridge-raiding and
her interrupted sleep.
e anecdote is one of

scores. in Greenspan: The

Case for the Defence, written
by the eminent lawyer and
George Jonas, a Toronto
writer and longtime Green-
span pal.

It is an odd book in some
ways, since Greenspan
writes chapters devoted
mainly to interesting, even
sensational cases he was
involved in, while Jonas pro-
vides the anecdotal and bio-
graphical material that
rounds it out.

It’s not a biography, but it
adds up to an engaging por-
trait of a man utterly devoted
to the law but inept and even
sloppy in many other areas.
He's a pest to friends and
colleagues because he never
wears a watch, never has a
pen, usually needs change, is
a chain-smoker often without
matches and frequently loses
things like his driver's li-
cence.

But Jonas’s chummy con-
tributions have an admiring,
protective ring to them and if
Greenspn, 43, has any serious
warts or dark sides to his
personality, Jonas doesn't
reveal them.

Piracy: phony tapes
make quick profits

By MURRAY OXBY
Canadian Press

TORONTO — Thousands of people will rent the
movie Lethal Weapon this month and watch it at home on
their video cassette recorders. Probably 10 to 15 per cent
of those cassettes will be illegal copies, made by video
pirates.

So, a movie's a movie, isn’t it?

Not in the view of the Canadian Motion Picture Dis-

tributors tion.
Max Gordon, a film security officer for the associa-
tion, says modern-day pirates are not only robbing the
film studies but they're swindling their customers by
renting tapes with low-quality picture and sound.

As the popularity of video cassette recorders has
mushroomed — Statistics Canada says 45 per cent of the
country’s households have one — so has the problem of
illegally duplicated cassettes.

The association's members — film studios and video
distributors — estimate film and video pirates deprive
them of $1 billion worldwide and $10 million in Canada
every year. They fight back through regional security
offices in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, which help
police and Crown attorneys find and prosecute pirates.

The film companies depend on a video release to help
recoup the average $25-million cost of producing,
marketing and distributing a feature film. Only about
one-third of U.S. films break even.

“Pirates siphon off revenues from the most
successful films, the very films which enable the studios
to continue to reinvest the large budgets required to
develop new properties,” the association says in a
pamphlet.

COMMON SCAM

Gordon, a former police officer who runs the associa
tion's Ontario office out of his suburban Toronto home,
says the most common scam is “back-to-back” copying,
where a dishonest retailer will buy one original release
and use two VCRs to duplicate it.

While new videos cost, $80-$100 each, a bootleg can
be made for the price of a blank tape — as little as $7,
Gordon says. By the end of October this year, police had

seized 19,569 illegal cassettes and 25 video pirates were
convicted and fined more than $100,000,

The association is having increasing success,
especially in Ontario, prosecuting video pirates for fraud
under the Criminal Code rather than relying on the feeble
ary hg Act, which allows a maximum fine of only

10 per tape

Recently, ‘one Toronto retailer caught with 150
illegal cassettes was fined $11,000, and a pirate in nearby
Mississauga was fined $10,000 for 863 bootleg videos.

But one retailer complains that recent fines aren’
more than a fraction of the pirate's profit. "%

Suzan Baker, who runs the Adventure Theatre video
store in suburban Brampton, Ont., calculates the Missi-
ssauga pirate would have paid about $6,000 for the 863
illegal tapes, an inventory that would have cost an it
retailer $69,000.

“There's no deterrent there. It just infuriates me.
I'm not saying the courts are at fault but they've got to
realize the amounts of money that are involved.”

FAST PAYBACK

Baker said a pirate's illegal tape would pay for itself
in as little as two rentals while other retailers might have
to wait up to two months, even on popular movies, to see
a return.

While he can understand Baker's frustration, Gordon
says he hesitates to criticize the courts because they are
more responsive than ever.

Piracy is so extensive, he says, “I don't go looking
(for bootleg cassettes). I act strictly on complaints.
Where possible, I conduct my own investigation and try
to confirm the complaint rather than involve police
forces in wild goose chases.”

Illegal tapes can be spotted through their amateur
packaging labels, including black and white or color
and

advertii

generic manufacturers’ label

“I can tell (through a description) over the phone 99
times out of a hundred if it’s a dud without even seeing
it,” said Gordon, who accompanies police on raids to
identify the cassettes and acts as an expert witness in
court.

Mister changes style

PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) —
After Mr. Mister’s last LP
produced a multi-platinum
surprise for RCA Records,
most music critics assumed

” the next album would simply

follow the same formula.

Go On has proved them
wrong.

“We-felt it was important
to take the next step,” said
bassist and lead singer Rich-
ard Page, one of the band’s
main songwriters.

“You want to stay on top.
You want to be successful
and everything, but not at
the expense of just fulfilling.
We just wanted to go on, go a
step further. Hopefully,
we've done that.”

The recent release was
produced in part by Kevin
Killen, who engineered Peter
moan those who observe the
stark departure from Mr.
Mister's techno-pop songs of
the past with rich, rhythmic
arrangements and smatter-
ings of jazz.

“Lyrically and musically,
this might be the best stuff
we've ever done,” said Steve

the band’s key-
boardist-saxophonist and
backup vocalist.

“It’s new, it's artistically
different and it’s a change for
us, but there's more depth to
it. We weren't following any
formula this time,” said gui-
tarist Steve Farris.

“It's less machinery and
the lyrics are great on this
record,” said,drummer Pat
Mastelotto.

Most of the album's 10
songs deal with world prob-
lems or with the struggle for
spiritual redemption.

Dust is a haunting tune
about Amerasian children
who were fathered by sold-
iers in Vietnam, stranded
there when the war ended
and now ostracized and or-
phaned in large numbers.

“Their only crime is that
they're half American and
half Vietnamese,” said Page,
adding that the lyrics were
written by his cousin, John
Lang, the unofficial fifth
member of the band.

Three ballods on Go On
speak of spiritualistic quests
— Man of the Thousand
Dances, Healing Waters and
The Border.

Other songs make folly of
TV addicts (The Tube); be-
maon those who observe the
world from a safe distance
(Watching the World); wish
of mastering one’s own des-
tiny (Control) and encourage
people to take a stance in life
(Stand and Deliver).

The album's first single is
Something Real (Inside Me-
Inside You), recorded in 1985

and used in the Rob Lowe
hockey movie, Youngblood.

“We thought we'd give the
song another shot,”

Page. “We still felt like it was
right. I've always felt it could
be a big single for us.”

Mr. Mister became the talk
of pop music with two No. 1
singles — Broken Wings and
Kyrie — off the Welcome to
the Real World LP, which
has sold 3.6 million copies
since its 1985 release.

Their 1983 debut album, I
Wear the Face, had peaked
at No. 170 on the charts
despite the hit single, Hunt-
ers of the Night.

As Mr. Mister embarks on
a world tour of Europe,
Japan and Canada, they hope
Go On will become a critical
and commercial success.

Area resident returns
to release new book

A former Kootenay resi-
dent returns to the area this
week to introduce her newly
published children's book,
Starshine!

Ellen Schwartz, taught
elementary school in Revel-
stoke and Slocan City, and
danced with A Question of
Balance dance group in Nel-
son. She now lives in Van-

writer, teacher and mother.

Starshine! is about a nine-
year-old girl with an unusual

name, Starshine Bliss Sha-
piro, and an unusual hobby —
spiders. But Starshine has a
problem that is familiar to
many kinds — how to earn
money for a school outing.

With the help of her friend
Julie Wong, Starshine em-
barks on some creative prob-
lem-solving. The result is a
delightful story that easily
catches young readers in its
web.

While on her visit to the
