Once again …..

An artist, of ANY kind, is one, not because of cash
and prizes,
It’s because that’s WHO THEY ARE, inside and out ..
Blood to Bone.

I am

From the time I was 6, till the day I die.
Not for cash,
Not for accolades,

but because I can’t help it, I was born to it.

Doing it for free worked real well for me.

” It is amazing how many people knowing nothing about a subject yet convinced that they have the right to decide what is good for music business and whatâs not. ”

I don’t really care about the “Business”.
The “Business” is not the Music.
When the ” Business” dies, the music will remain.
It existed without any ” Business ” before, so I am sure
music will survive the collapse of the “Business”.

If you’ve hung around here long enough ( pretty sure you have,
and are just trolling ), you’ll see just how many of us are …

Musicians
Programmers/Software Engineers
Writers
Artists.

Most of us here, in fact

It’s amazing how hard “Business” works to make sure our opinions
are either not heard, or belong to them.

We’ll never Shut up.
We’ll never give up.

Obviously, none of you ever tried to make a living by playing a musical instrument. It is amazing how many people knowing nothing about a subject yet convinced that they have the right to decide what is good for music business and whatâs not.
Whatever you do, do it for free. See how long itâs going to work for you!

If this doublespeak is just propaganda to push the content industry’s “total command & control” agenda, well, it totally blows but at least I know it’s just simple greed motivating them. The scary thought is, do some of these @$$hats actually believe their own bull$hite? There is nothing more dangerous than a deeply deluded zealot.

: ) How much time do you spend comparing?

But Julie is real. And Yes, I admit it! I check the Slyck links to news stories, and throughout my day, I also keep an eye on Digg, slashdot, the NYT, the Beeb, MPAA, RIAA, TPB, ChinaTechNews, and so on and etc.

Meanwhile, people such as Julie also regularly send me urls, for which I thank them.

Cheers!

Jon you really are too much. You lift these stories from Slyck and then post fake names at the bottom. I saw this post go up originally without a name and now a name appears.

Do your own work.

Progress and Freedom Foundation?, a cynical name.

DRM is to get a foothold on all of us like the Bush’s “liberation” of Irak to get a foothold on the petroleum.

What a fantastic bit of doublethink that last sentence is: the premise of the piece is that you can currently ‘do too much’ with digital content, and content providers want to limit this. So what exactly is this “choice” DRM is suppsed to confer on customers? The choice to pay more to do less, of course. (See my sarcastic p2p piece from ages ago: http://www.p2pnet.net/story/7757.)

Wake up! You’re already competing with free! (In both senses of the word.)
