Please, an appeal to all music lovers here. Although this is not anything new, it is advised that if any of you find free downloads of cd's/songs by us artists...
Thanks John, I hear you loud and clear - the bloggers are a 'clear and present danger'. We know all about them and the issues related to their activities [or ...
I'd like to add some sugar to Carl's rep. I got a promotional copy of Mantra and have some of his earlier work. Carl has got his own sound and complete mastery...
4) There is certain loss of revenue. I doubt there's hard numbers, but it would seem to me that [based on today's attitude about music files], a free download...
... Absolutely with you on this one John. We even found one guy that had put first CD (West Grace Street) on a pirated site. We thought this was interesting...
**there were 576 downloads of the entire new cd on this site. That equates to almost $7000 lost in sales.** In all fairness, this simply isn't true. It assumes...
What's rubbish is people taking things that don't belong to them. If these bloggers want to assist the artists in exposing their music, they should be posting...
A really excellent point Vasiliy, That's why I contend that the blogging issue is complex. There are other situations where, if not for the bloggers, no one...
A very happy birthday to an international treasure. I wonder about something though. Would he make more money by continuing to work or by retiring and filing...
Rick: I agree with you one hundred percent. No use denying what already is. No use fighting what has already asserted itself. It's time to think how to live ...
This is not the right approach. I guess the massacres in Darfur have already asserted themselves, so we should just let them go on because we think a solution...

Only from the mind of Rick would this thought spring. ;) Social Security won't support any of us successfully. Rob ... thing but it would not support anyone...
There is room for a 'case-by-case' approach here. Email them, threaten them, do whatever it takes to assert your rights. It may not be the best approach for...

in all "fairness" it simply IS true, not rubbish at all. listen to what you are saying. ok, so let's say it's NEVER free, EVER, and thereby they'll all have to...
John, I don't think George was trying to defend the bloggers/downloaders. He was merely pointing out that 576 downloads doesn't equal 576 lost sales, because...
With the advent of the CD and the computer it became apparent that you can no longer adequately protect your intellectual property (music). With the advent of...
ok, so i lost my cool, but everybody has thrown gasoline on fire before. big flames, few results. sorry. so then let's do a poll: what percentage of fellow...
... as much as I second Vasiliy's statement, I strongly believe that intellectual property is still property... A civilized society cannot rely on means of law...

Maybe George would have been well advised not use the term "rubbish" in his explanation. That certainly read to me that John's argument had no credence. The...
I thought the forum was to support the music primarily, not the musicians per se? Re your request to put our CD collections on the line. I'm unsure if that was...
So what you are saying is that musicians should go the way of software developers and require dongles or call and response verification procedures on your MP3...
I buy my music in this order: #1 priority: when possible - directly from the artist (they get the money) #2 priority: from a specialty (fusion) distributor...
... I'm not saying any such thing. And you may well know that the security measures you've mentioned have not been very helpful. What I was saying was that the...
