Well I agree what Wolfgang has to say about the Digital public domain ..
and one should he happy(?) when they find out that they are being copied .
every one has copied charlie parker to chuck berry and if copy rights
were in place all the white folks would be paying through their nose to the
black folks. All the the modern music (leaving out some bits of
electronica) have their ideas, structures, progressions etc derived from
black man's music and it is as simple as that :) So let us give our respect
to all those people who showed us the way and go ahead and make music. I
think that is why we are musicians and w sholud make money by playing live.
If your music is getting circulated on the digital domain and your name
remains intact with the song while it goes from one hard disk to another to
cd's to the internet to P2P .. in a way i think it is good for you maybe
someone wil call you up and give you gigs .i think we should exploit these
virtual channels now that we are in 2005.

Copyright : here is your copy .....right(?)

I raise this issue because I'm starting a
musical project and I
would like to never release any work that could end like
http://www.lokitorrent.com/ when the people shares it, I would like
to use other musicians works (and I can't afford to pay them for
such work now) and I would finally like to win fairly some money
making good music (without this money I will never be able to buy
decent instruments)
is it an utopia?
Marc, I'm flabbergasted. This is 2005. There's no way you could
prevent people from copying or sharing things in the digital domain.
DRM is a joke. The industry that promotes it is a joke. The business
model is gone, don't you know that?
How can anyone *own* music? How did Bach do it? How did Capitol
Records do it? The only way to make that claim to some extent real
were technical limitations -- and those are gone for good.
Coming up with something like G-C-E7 is a complex process, sure ;)
Hell, make it Bbmaj9-Gm7-F/C-C-D/C. But do you really intend to say
this is yours? That you invented this, put it into the world, out of
the blue? Isolated from everything you've ever heard or experienced
in your life? Originality someone? What is that?
Share your stuff and you will get back more than you ever dreamed of.
To make money it is, in my experience, fairly promising to put your
family's estate to sensible use or, in the lack of an estate, work.
The clownesque, inspired, spiritual, grotesque, old-fashioned, great
field of making music will probably get you all *but* money.
I'm a bit ashamed to see that all this sounds quite patronizing.
Excuse me, Marc. This a patronizing day and it transfers.
