If you read the article, it implies that if you have one of these licences they won't care where you get your mp3s from.

Thats the only way around their problem (in their eyes anyway) Blanket sting everyone, that way everyones a loser baby.

So why dont we kill them!

unless theres more written somwhere else, i cant see how this could stand up in a court, like everybody here has already pointed out, theres too many loopholes in it

**davethedrummer** · 16-09-2005, 06:45 AM

come on officer......arrest me :roll:

**AcidTrash** · 16-09-2005, 08:24 PM

Thats easy solved. Just play your own stuff and tell them to f*ck right off.

That's the thing though - do you expect a penpusher with a clipboard to know the difference?

It would be a great get-out clause - "Honestly officer, all my own work..."

Can't seem them disputing that.

"No son, I clearly recognise that as PUNISH 16. You'll swing for this..."

I seriously recommend you read the web site and the full terms... it isnt going to happen.

**RDR** · 19-09-2005, 05:20 PM

"What happens when the licence is terminated?

Depending upon the reason for the termination, you may be able to obtain a further licence, in which case you will be able to keep all the sound recordings on the DJ Database and the Back-up Database.
If a new licence is not granted, you will have to delete all the sound recordings on the DJ Database that were not acquired by way of lawful downloads (and you will not be able use the remaining sound recordings for public performances). You also will have to delete all the sound recordings on the Back-up Database."

Do what?

Think of the poor starving musicians, forced to tour around the globe to make a meagre living and survive on a poor mans diet of cavier and champagne.

Yeah, Mirsha.

You tell 'em - You TOTAL DÃ*CK !

Easy to sit on the outside and throw stones, isn't it.

Being as you're one of the people who was 'in on the basement level' of Soulseek (or at least some grubby underbuild) I'd expect this attitude, to be honest.

Ironically, the only people who can survive what amounts to the current scene rÃ¡pÃ© on a massive scale (being perpetrated by the likes of yourself, sir) are the very hoarding and "talentless fat ****" with whom you seem to have such a problem.

NONE of the people I know involved in techno are coining it in at the moment. For me it is (and always has been) pretty much voluntary work, but I have dedicated my life so far to it* and shall continue to do so as long as it's not hurting me too much financially for too long.

To have some jumped up little twerp such as yourself steam in with a mouthfull of so much horseshÃ*t... GRRRR....

Why should all of us work so hard and put (potentially) our futures on the line just to have some dicks trivialising things without even thinking about it ?? Can anyone suggest a suitable answer ?

Would you keep feeding a baby, no matter how much you cared for it, if it threw up EVERYTHING you gave it ?

Finally, how do you fancy doing your fÃºckÃ*ng 9 to 5 (or whatever god forsaken hours you work) for NOTHING ?

PS: For anyone interested, my dial is on '4' today. You may have noticed.

*And other business interests that are thankfully none of your concern.

**MARKEG** · 19-09-2005, 05:49 PM

woooooooahhhh!!!

*mark pulls the reigns for fear of dog shit in face*

totally see just music's side but please can we keep the 'you total dick' thing to a minimum? please!!!!!!!

cheers guys!!!

**Jay Pace** · 19-09-2005, 05:50 PM

Woah - easy there dude!

I respect that people like yourselves are getting burned badly by this. But piracy is a relatively new phenomena, brought about by the complete lack adequate content protection.

This will get sorted out, trust me. And then all the lables, shops, distributors etc who got raped will suddenly find themselves right back on it, because the brand, the following and the loyalty they inspire is valued.

Value your brand, tighten your belts and ride this one out and you will come out laughing.

Consider ditching vinyl though - it's had its day, but music will always endure. Look forward guys. People love music and people are happy to pay for it. Its just too easy and practical to steal at the mo'. Not condoning it, not doing it - just an observation.

Think this licence is fatally flawed, can't see it getting off the ground.
DRM will take care of this shit sooner rather than later.

Mark, check yer PM's.

Mirsha knows it's just a bit of my 'overtly spicy' banter, anyhow.

It's how us Scots come off.

When my mum said hello to me today I invited her out into the driveway and promptly ran her over in my stinking great car.

Then I said 'hello to you too', before doing a few lines of porridge and being generally miserly with my money.

This was just for the purposes of comedy banter, incase anyone felt like interjecting with something along the lines of 'almost 30 and still living with his mum, no WONDER he's ****ed off'.

I have my own house now. And very nice it is, too.

I can regularly be found there, hoarding and re-counting the INSURMOUNTABLE sums I've made from my 10 or so years in and around the techno scene.

**Traxx** · 19-09-2005, 07:30 PM

Show off ;)

**eyeswithoutaface** · 19-09-2005, 07:35 PM

you should see his money pool then, 7ft in the deep end, full of pound coins

**MARKEG** · 19-09-2005, 08:12 PM

and here he is with his hoes ->

:lol:

**tocsin** · 19-09-2005, 09:49 PM

Soulseek is great. If you don't understand why, you have tunnel vision. As for fat talentless ****s making money off the digital license if it passes, it's 100% true. Who will be getting this money do you think? The artists or the monopoly if big industry labels that repeatedly whine about how hard they have it because of meager online piracy? Will there now be a filing requirement for setlists so the artists who had tracks played get paid from this fund? No. This is a pyramid scheme. Don't buy into it.

Yeah, that's me rocking yet another sharp suit...

Also, with regards to the pool, I had the pound coins replaced with melted gold bars cause I thought it'd look cool. I realised my oversight shortly after discovering that it was only my Â£10,000,000 pound hostile environment droid that can swim in it.

One of the ho's just disappeared when she went in off the diving board. There was a little bit of steam came up, but nothing else. I sent the robot in to get her back, hence the discovery.

I just wrote off the ho against tax and got my accountant to sort a p45, then I paid a load of tramps Â£800 an hour to watch me burning hundred pound notes for the rest of the day.

La vie... C'est tres bien, n'est pas ?
