Do you really feel part of this debate if you have no personal connection to these groups? Why are we picking sides in a debate that most of us * have no say in at all*? Are the opinions of some random individual going to change Plaid/ Ken's personal debate? Yeah, perhaps we should all just shut up and never post anything again. That'd be really good wouldn't it? Perhaps we shouldn't discuss any music at all unless we're friends of the artists who created it. Because that makes sense. I don't think people have any interest in changing Plaid/Black Dog's personal debate - it's their debate (if three posts can be considered a debate that it). The release of the compilation album is news. About music. Therefore, this being a discussion / mailing list about IDM, people are discussing it. The opinions of random individuals are what this mailing list is partly about isn't it? That the news was turned into a personal debate is the result of the fact that the artists have problems with copyright etc.
quoted 1 line do any of you folks have lives of your own?>do any of you folks have lives of your own?
What an offensive and ill considered remark. Reading the posts about Plaid/BD and posting my opinion took a few token minutes out of my life. You don't really think people are eating out enormous chunks of their lives wringing their hands over this whole issue do you?
