Well, look at the other 2 people that suggested it--Slang and Griff. All in jest.

Does this mean you're NOT going to save us from the RIAA?

I am merely one person--I would need an army of millions...or at the very least, an army of lawyers.
The EFF and the ACLU are going to be the crusaders on this one, but ultimately, it comes down to you and me. I will do my part by putting my upcoming CD out on my own or on an indie label (with me controlling the masters of course). |

Go, Dude. I can't wait to steal it.
Well if you're not going to save us I'll have to try something else......Hmmm. Hey Dave, the RIAA says you can't code, don't know how to retouch pictures and your Mom wears combat boots.

Nah...you're using the wrong bait. Try this:
Israel is a mean ol' country that beats up on the poor defenseless Palestinians. Suicide bombers are true freedom fighters. |

Incidentally, when the Sycamore CD is finished, free mp3's will be posted. Maybe I'll create some web-only specials.

Out of curiosity, how is the new recording coming along, Syc? Have you found that software you mentioned to be easy enough to use, or did you go another route?
Since we're talking about downloading music here, and because I can't remember if I ever mentioned the stuff I do, I thought I'd post a couple of links if anyone gives a damn. Three tracks from the CD I did with my longtime collaborator a few years ago: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/79/l...patrick_c.html A couple of rough mixes from the current recording we're doing of WB Yeats songs set to my collaborator's original music: www.lunalushede.org/The Harlot's Song.mp3 www.lunalushede.org/Who But an Idiot.mp3 Part of my attitude toward downloading music is based on the idea that, at this point in my life, I'd be thrilled if someone would *want* to download any music I'd been part of making...

Okay so I posted out of my rear again, the McDonalds case isn't like these cases at all. Anyways I completely agree with all your points, but I still think that anyone who offers up hundreds of mp3's of copyrighted music and then claims they didn't know it was illegal is full of crap.

This is derived from a "fact sheet" put out by the American Trial Lawyers Association. I wouldn't take it as gospel truth, particularly where it diverges from the dry facts of the matter, Quote:

The MPAA is a little more guilty of this; the RIAA still agrees you buy a CD, though they have an odd idea of the rights which come along with that purchase. The MPAA has asserted that you don't have permission to even play a DVD unless you buy both the disc and a licensed player. And they've gotten that to $tick in court. |

The MPAA and the RIAA should just make everyone stop putting out product. That'll teach us.

Copyright as it originally existed had limited times and a limited scope. It didn't really impinge on the ordinary person's life. Now it's got effectively unlimited duration, nearly unlimited scope (and they're working on removing the limitations), and constantly impinges on people's lives. Yes, both modern and current copyright both derive from the same clause of Constitution, but they really aren't too similar. |

Oh crap... taking a cue from the RIAA, now the USPS is suing Americans over loss of revenue due to "peer-to-peer electronic mail." (Satire)

Good thing you put (Satire) on the end of that. I'd have never known.
