[LAU] Linux Audio Monthly Round-Up #7 - February 2011

[Rafal Zawadzki]

Hi,

>> Linux, and Linux audio, users are a diverse group and not all of us
>> subscribe to the "everything should be totally free for anyone to do
>> anything they like with it" thinking and it can be a bit alienating to
>> be treated as if it were a homogeneous group.
> 
> It's his choice. Just respect it. (I'm sure you do.)

Of course - I think everyone respect it and appreciate effort of Jeremy.
 
>> Also, you could end up overlooking a lot of good music by not using
>> full
>> copyrighted works. Wouldn't quality or interest (however you
>> personally
>> judge those) be better criteria for inclusion?
> 
> The idea of free sharing needs more light than it has.
> I personally think it's a good idea to promote free culture.
> Don't you think copyright holders have enough space to express
> themselves?
 
There are two points in above ;)

First - yes, it is very good idea to promote free culture. Just the list
should be called in this case "Free music made with Linux".

About "enough space to express themselves" - there is never enough of
promotion :) Well, as long you are not labeleb by EMI and played on MTV ;)

> Don't take it personally. Just ideas I throw. Let me go back to work.

Cheers, I am going back work as well.
