” to choose Frostwire when it is claimed legal by some ”

By the government of canada .. part of the blank levy agreement.
Why else do you suppose NOONE has been sued in canada ?

” claimed not so by others. ”

by the RIAA and it’s paid shills, who cringe at the thought of fair use
and wish to elimate both it AND the first sale doctrine.

The lie oft repeated sounds good after a while, but STILL doesn’t make it true.

If I can choose ad supported legal and or subscription buy and or rent why do I need to choose Frostwire when it is claimed legal by some and claimed not so by others. Until using Frostwire ect is the standard ALL can agree on as legal without question by anyone I will support it again 100% Until then I don’t like doubts and misgivings and not knowing by what authority it is “legal” as some claim. ( I mean all music not just “indie” ect. Any music I want.)

Six months from now when ad supported legal music is everywhere, including Yahoo’s big surprise for 2008 I will know I was right!

” it will change everything. ”

Naah,
it will change nothing, you know it, I know it, they know it too.

A very silly statement, considering downloading is in fact still legal in Canada.
Also silly considering the CRIA is not a legal authority or governing body …
or ARE they ?

I saw your coprorate shilling of [brand name deleted] yesterday.
It's nothing but the same corporate crap under a different disquise.

How many true independents are featured there ?
You know who I mean .. totally non-label artists .. not the fake independents
that are really label owned.
How many ?
None i'll wager.

That's why the label fears offerings like seeqpod.
Independents sit right next to label offerings in searches,
to be heard and compared.

[brand name deleted] will change nothing.
it's just more of the same.

Besides ...
Free P2P is legal.
P2P software is legal.
Downloading music is legal, as long the the copyright holder allows it ..
Independents .. cc .. etc..

some of the folks who USE P2P use it for infringing purposes, but P2P is legal.
like the VCR, like DVD burners, like CD Burners.

The fact that you belch out the coporate lie in the same sentence as your shill
should steer any and all away from qtrax.

No revolution.
nothing to see.

I’ve been here for what seems like a long long time for on-line. I’ve disagreed with Jon from time to time, I’ve seen others do the same. Some far stronger in both word and thought.

I’ve seen indirect threats passed by without edit; the warmonger if you would. Something that would never pass in most places without edit or delete.

No one but no one wants the spammer. If that is what you came to do, you’re in the wrong place and it will never be taken well here or almost any forum on the web. Since I didn’t see the original post I have no clue if this is the case.

There is very little here that you have to worry about censoring if you are addressing the article or the topic. Heck get on your soapbox and whale away. I’ve even at times wandered completely off the topic yet not a peep about it.

If there is any one to be pitied in this, it will be from your own mistake. You don’t get censored here for no reason. If you use commonsense and respect, you can word it just about any way you please. If you can’t string the words together to make sense and give good account of yourself, the problem isn’t with Jon.

I don’t ‘censor’ anything. I occasionally delete posts: if they’re gratuitously obscene; if whoever wrote it is obviously stoned out of his/her tiny skull, or something along those lines; if they’re obviously attempts at free advertising; or, if they’re uselessly repetitious, as with many of the Scientology posts. But I rarely delete anything and I certainly never chop anything just because I disagree with it.

So as the above ^^^ post says, maybe it was pilot error

Cheers!

^^ Based on the grammatical accuracy of the above post I’m wondering about pilot error more than censorship… I’ve seen plenty of posts that fly in the face of what Jon and this site are about. They have not been censored. IMHO Jon is open to reasoned opinions that differ from his own, and I’m sure he doesn’t need your pity. Who’s “truth” was that BTW?

For some reason my comments are being censored because they I am a truth speaker! I pity you Jon. . .
