but does music belong to anyone in the first place?
its there to share, surely?
i often fail to see how can anyone seriously say 'yeah, if you make the air vibrate in this specific way then you have to give me dollar'?

so once im a producer, feel free to copy my stuff and let the world hear it....its why i made it apart from the fact i enjoy it. ;)
Actually why don't we make this a publicly usable licensing agreement like GNU or something, we'll call it the "FREE BOABY" licence.
I was there that night you were all rolling in a sack of filthy mad cash that was the door takings from Jak-N. Remember getting a roll of pound coins up yer jacksie?Quote:

it would be nice if we lived in a world where techno producers were subsidized to make art for the people, but we don't.
people make the mistake of thinking capitalism is an ideology. it's not...it's a comprehensive set of floating price ratios, and everyone is dependent on it for survival. understanding this and compensating artists in order to keep them producing and drive innovation is not the same as pandering to corporate greed.
I can understand where you're coming from ( I think :neutral: ) but what you posted makes absolutely no sense. Could you possible expand on why artists should work for free ?Quote:

what the hell do you want then ? no art at all ?
because if people never got paid for making art that's what you'd eventually get.
wake up man , there's a real world out there , it has money and everything
, cars , boats , planes you know people....food....problems...like real life type stuff man!
sorry about that.
:clap: :clap: couldnt have said it better
double posts grrrr! :rambo:
isnt there a law that says, even if you bought the music (records) and play them out in a nightclub or whatever, you can still get sued for not having the rights to play the music out in public?
i heard that, if they want they can go after you even if you're playing music in a little ol market or whatever, as long as the place is bringin in money, you have to pay royalties :doh:
What about those people that eat, shit and breathe techno? Surely they don't need anything else!Quote:

i really, really hope people start supporting artists, rather than undercutting them, but i'm also uncomfortable with the idea of some dj having a 3 million euro fine leveled at him. it seems a bit drastic...Quote:

Haha
The best writers, were mostly poor, as they devoted their life to their art.
Same with painters.
And with musicians.
To be good at your craft you need to put in the time.
Personally I have a job that fits around my music, but it sucks.
What is wrong with earning your living doing something you enjoy. Isn`t that everybodies dream.
What is your job?
Do you do it for free?
Do you go into a shop when you want to update your PC and say to the shopkeeper "man, you should give it to me for free, computers should be free. Computers are for people to use, why should you charge me money to want to use it? Let me use it?
Does that make sense?
Why should nurses get paid?
Do surgeons really need to get paid?
Surely they can get another job to support them, as the fact that they are saving lives should be enough for them.
Your argument just doesn`t hold up man.
And to those people and artists who genuinely work hard for their art. It`s kind of an insult.
