| Re: Bite the hand that feeds them We need to become a bigger voice over the internet and how we use it. Regulation is coming whether we like it or not, it is up to us to stand up for what's right. I believe that artist should be compensated, but when you are rolling in millions of dollars by selling 15 dollar CDs and expecting me to pay for the digital version of the same song, you have got to be kidding me. I am tired of hearing Metallica and others whine, I am a musician, and a DJ. I want to put my music out there, and I want to spin, not to undermine the creativity of others, but to add my twist to this art form. I am not looking to get paid, just to be heard...isnt that what musicians get into the business for? Capitalist aspirations for the internet threaten our access to the expanding amount of content and information. We shoudlnt stand for this, and make our voices heard, before large corporations and other interest groups begin to rip us off in yet a different medium. We are the renegades of funk =0P |
