Well... I know this is a somewhat controversial topic, so I thought what better place to bring it up then in the "other" forum.

Before I start, I do want to say, that I realize I am posting a semi-serious post in this forum. And I do realize that someone is going to make some kind of comment about releasing their man juices on my face because I am doing this, but I didn't know where else to put it. So here goes...

Everyone always critisizes people who download music, but I think it is a good way to keep musicians honest. In todays world of editing even a crappy artist, who may or may not be a blonde Pepsi drinking bimbo, with no natural tallent can come off sounding perfectly pitched, on tempo, and a well balanced sound. Editing has made it so that artists don't have to excel at there trade anymore... unless... they are in concert.

I am tired of musicians like Lenny Kravitz, who play all the parts of the band, and don't tour anymore. I'm tired of rock bands that don't have to go on tour for years on end. I don't want my favorite band to produce an album every year and not have to tour.

If more of us were "pirating" music wouldn't this solve the problem?? Is this a good solution?? What are your thoughts??

I am a little disappointed that it wasn't Wingy though... he is losing his touch... I know he is on right now, and he missed the perfect opportunity.

Sorry, I got distracted by a nude inverted photo of Oprah removing a saturated tampon from between her lardy thighs.

:eek: I'm the good time that was had by all :eek:

Reply to WingDing

Ok, so I think I picked a bad place to voice this thread... and an obviously stupid line was imbedded in the text which was far too distracting to my readers :)

I think you should PM 4Ryan. He seems to be an expert on this topic.

A good point well made. Arsehole by name, arsehole by nature.

An arsehole the size of the Channel Tunnel by the time you've finished with him?

Indeed. They used a mold of my cock to provide the basic structure of the Chunnel.

The Chunneltrator.

Yeah I know I show up out of nowhere with this sh<i></i>it. My duty as an other lurker.

Speaking as a working musician, if the whole Internet wanted to pirate mp3's of my copyrighted music then I'd be ecstatic! If nothing else I'd be able to make millions on something like a Pepsi commercial.

Want to see an incredible live performance? Go to a Tool show. :cool:

I didn't know the chunnel was curved and potmarked and dripping. Heck, also thought it was longer than an inch.
