Jim Alfredson Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The policy is that we do not allow active trading of copyrighted material, such as trading CD-Rs, mp3s, and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine, if you have the EXPLICIT approval of the musicians and producers of that music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The new Root Doctor CD is already on the torrents. It took us nine months of hard work and over $12k of our own money to make and some asshole (most likely a DJ since we haven't sold that many yet) has ripped it off for everyone! Yay! It's easy to say it's okay when it's not your livelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I object I get very negative crap back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I object I get very negative crap back. Yep. Not much you can do about it. My only hope is that the people will like the music and come to a show if we ever play in their town. Then again, that would require spending money to support an artist, which they don't seem to care about. It's only about "me and mine".

Precisely! When I was a poor college student, I listened to the radio if I couldn't afford something I wanted. Hell, I'd set up my boom box with a blank cassette to try and catch whatever song it was that I fancied. That's how you got "free" music. Not anymore. What this shit-for-brains can't figure out is that there won't be any music to purchase by the time him and his generation are through fucking over musicians. I second Chuck's suggestion that he leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) ever play an album for a friend who didnt own it? Your argument points are pretty juvenile. Try doing a search on this forum for the pros/cons of downloading. There have been more than a few in-depth discussions about it.

baptizum Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 and honestly (not to use this as an excuse) id be stoked just that people want to hear my music. that said, i own over 500 albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 and honestly (not to use this as an excuse) id be stoked just that people want to hear my music. Being "stoked" doesn't put meat and potatoes on the table for the musician's family like paying for legitimate copies of the music does. Working musicians aren't millionaires.
