sorry, i'm in a bit of a shock tonight. i think the fact that there are people in the world who think copyrighting is a bullshit sham is disgusting. we'll see how your view changes if you ever have a track ripped off and put on a compilation without permission.. really i just dont even quite know what to say.. i can't believe that anybody could not realize how important to an artist a copyright is. if i put myself into something (and other artists too i would hope), and all of my time into it, why should it be just sitting there waiting to be stripped away from me for someone else to claim as their own? it's like copyrighting is protection against kidnapping of my child, in some ways. i dont know how anyone who is SERIOUS about music (making it especially) could see it differently. disillusioned, dan g
