Hi basehead,
quoted 2 lines i think the fact that there are people in the world who> i think the fact that there are people in the world who > think copyrighting is a bullshit sham is disgusting.
grin, it takes all sorts.. while as an artist, i agree that "downright ripping off" *is* obscene....just one look at the internet, and it's lack of any copyright should show you how the future is going. As was pointed out to me, a lot of people are using CD's for recording at home. 'Piracy' is on the increase, you gotta face it.
quoted 2 lines we'll see how your view changes if you ever have a track> we'll see how your view changes if you ever have a track > ripped off and put on a compilation without permission..
it's happened to me plenty of times, and i *still* gladly use wares and noncopywritten software when i get the chance. it's a moral thing for me. if i feel the artist can afford it, then tape it...likewise...how much more money do microsoft need?? grin, how many samples have *you* used, but not got clearance for?? "bloody loads" in my case.
quoted 2 lines i dont know how anyone who is SERIOUS about music> i dont know how anyone who is SERIOUS about music > (making it especially) could see it differently.
grin. putting his hand up. but then i don't want a big house in the country, or lots of expensive material posessions. Primarily, I just want people to hear my music. On a pirate disc, or otherwise. I *DO* appreciate that we have to eat, but this is an exciting time for artists. There'll always be scumbags waiting to rip off creative people. Throughout history there are examples, try not to let it get you down..
