Should music be given away free?

[rhythmtech]

thats an interesting point. however i am not the original artist and i don't pretend to be.
It's a bit like me buying some apples, making an apple pie and then giving everyone some free samples of it, at least i bought the apples (or grew them) myself.
Or in your argument, lots of people investing in apple orchards, and then at harvest time giving all their apples away. And then complaining they are skint. Go figure?
same with music esp, techno the whole point of it, is that it is going to be mixed. So if 100 artists all mix your tunes in their mix, thats an advertisement in itself, and aesthetically pleasing no doubt aswell.

so what about people that A. cant get a track signed or B. arent interested in getting a track signed. should they not have the option of doing whatever they want with something that they created and own the copyright on?

c'mon.. since when does anyone have the right to tell others how to run their business.. or am i suddenly on www.freemasonery.fcukoff ???

i didn't say that barry , i'm not telling anyone how to do anything i'm just voicing my opinion.
you can do what you want with your music
it just pays to look at the bigger picture from time to time
and ask yourself if what you are doing is actually helpful to the scene or not.
