Re: [microsound] boris + sunn o))) collaboration

I certainly agree with you in principle, but sometimes principle has 
to take a back seat to poverty. I've had virtually no income for the 
past 6 months or so, and the music I download is not by struggling 
artists but by musicians who have more money than they know what to 
do with (the last time I downloaded it was stuff by Eric Clapton and 
Mark Knopfler). When I do have the funds to pay for CDs, that's when 
I buy stuff from musicians who need the money.

Same goes for software. I always pay for shareware by individual 
programmers for whom a few bucks matter, but Adobe won't go out of 
business if I get a boot of Photoshop, without which I can't do my 
own art. My ethics may be a bit slippery, but that's the way it is 
sometimes when you live on the fringes.

Sorry if my attitude offends anyone. I promise you that my principles 
will be higher as soon as I can afford them.
