Entry: Yar, I'm legit, mateys! Monday, June 19, 2006

 

In the comments of my last post, Ruth (and who knows, possibly others) was concerned about the legal status of my music trading hobby. This is absolutely understandable, considering all the press about Napster and all the lawsuits flying about. It made me laugh, however, thinking about "stealing" from the Grateful Dead, a band that actually sold special tickets for people that wanted to record the shows and trade them freely!

Here is an article from the LA Times about the trading scene.I'm sure it will put any lingering doubts about the music that I'm posting to rest.

Now that that's put to bed, who'd like to do some trading?

I just wanted to let you know that I like what I have read so far in the few posts I've had time to, and look forward to coming back and reading more. Feel free to drop by my site and leave me a placemark in case I forget, and even have a look, if you'd like.

In the words of MC Hammer, you're "too legit to quit!"

I think it should be up to the individual artist - if they don't care there should be no argument about it. Good for you Joe - I find this topic interesting. A lot of people get upset about it so that's a good reason to post on it IMO ;-).

Mark-

I just need to think of something I want that you can build in 2 days. How long does aa gazebo take? A bar maybe? A lifelike Vargas model robot? (oooh....that's kind of Bladerunner, innit?)

I've had this week's selection running through my head for days, but I loaned it out to my neighbor. AAArrrrGGGhhh! I need to hear it again.

I also can't wait to get my internet situation resolved so I can start illegally downloading music again ;)

Nat-

If you look at previous pages, you will find a 3-part Bit Torrent tutorial. If you use that, you can soon be SWIMMMING in great live stuff, both audio and video.
