Re: [microsound] boris + sunn o))) collaboration
>please, steal my music!
if it's your own choice, about your own music, nothing to say, it's up to you.
but you cannot decide for the work of everyone else...
Yes of course,
what I wanted to say is that new technology brings new way of...
moving in the world.
In my opinion, the only way to keep people from stealing music from
internet is to close internet, toghether with all its benefits...
Maybe history would have been different if the music maket had
followed other directions in the past times... but I'm not so sure...
it's not matter of market but of culture...
the fact is that if music is a product, it goes under all the pros
and cons of being a product...
and music is such a valueless product (for most people) and so easy to steal...
you see? looks like the solution is bringing all the market in
internet, now... but mainly with the result of lowering the quality
(I'm talking about mp3) of sound and of cancelling the album-concept
to advantage of song-concept
but the "stealing culture" has also the (maybe long term) advantages
for labels and producers, that in some cases, as somebody reported,
stealing has been proved to increase abums' sales.
the fact is that stolen music helps music to spread... let some music
to be listened by people who'd never listen to it if they have to
pay.. stolen music helps to increase sensibility and knowledge,
things that in the end result to adadvantage for (good) producers and
labels...
unfortunately stealers are still stealers... what a contradictory
situation huh?
and I should be crazy, as I'm starting a label...
