you know why home taping didn't kill music?


'cos it was crap that's why


take it seriously , 'cos it's in your backyard too.
thing is though, there's nothing that can really be done about it... I know it's annoying, it's annoying that techno doesn't sell as much as it used to, but the pandoras box has been opened now and there is no going back... I mean look at what happened to Metallica when they started berating Napster.. Rightly or wrongly a lot of people lost respect for them, I'm not saying it's right that musicians feel they are being ripped off, but this is a sad fact of our times, sad in the same way that you don't have 5+ regular techno nights in London any more, in the same way that you have to wade through so much shite in the record store to find something good, and sad in the way that things are much tougher than they used to be..
you just have to work around it and try your best to keep your chin up....
