Comment on How Many Songs are The Same 4 Chords? by Brad

Of course…while there are 12 notes, there are an incredible amount of chords…let’s see, we have 12 major triads, 12 minor triads, 12 diminished triads . . . 12 suspended triads… 12 major 7th chords, 12 minor 7th chords, 12 dominant 7th chords,12 half diminished 7th chords, 12 fully diminished 7th chords . . . and that doesn’t even get into altered or extended chords. Soooooo the fact that all those songs use 4 chords is very…underwhelming.

Comment on This Is Why People Don’t Buy Music by Jose

Jose — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:15:44 +0000

I haven’t buy a cd in about seven years nor have I paid for an mp3, and that hasn’t stopped me from listening to the music I want, I just search for it and download it, and I’ve become pretty good at it, it’s actually easier to download “illegally” than “legally”. However when I can’t find what I want to listen to I feel the slight temptation to buy it, but I never do it, so I just forget about it move on to another band or artist. I guess people who download illegally and legally are to different kind of species. Those who don’t pay for music will never do it no matter what and if that’s the only way to get the music, too bad then, later bitch.

Audiolife should be placed in the top 10 music tools for indie artist. It’s a 360 degree solution for artists to sell directly to the consumer. They manage everything for you (downloads, merch, physical cds) which lets the artist focus on their music.

Comment on Warner Bros + Swedish Cop = Pirate Bay Scandal by 300baud

It’s the stated aim of these groups to make sure the law works in the best economic interest of their clients. I see very little difference between subverting laws and ignoring them. In fact, I would rather have them skulking around outside the law like this than have their fatty fingerprints all over our laws.

No kidding. The *AA have always bent the law to satisfy the interests of the companies they represent.

Comment on How Low Can Album Sales Go? by Anonymous

I may be in the minority here, but I don’t buy digital music online for two reasons:

- Lossy encoding.
- DRM.

Fix those and you’ll get a whole lot of my cash. In the meantime, it’s CDs for me.

I will tell you a gossip one told me one time. One day I was talking to a friend about piracy and how fast some stuff got pirated so fast and in so pristine condition. Sometimes it includes covers and all the stuff identical to the original.

After saying that, the guy told me: do you really think that all piracy comes from underground guys ripping CD’s and DVD’s and scanning covers?

I replied: what do you mean?

The guy completed: man, piracy is done in most part by the same guys who sell the original material, by the simple reason they can sell the stuff without paying taxes and royalties…

That made me think….

everyone steals 1′s and 0′s (except us fsf guys).

why do more people go down for stealing music than software?
.
cause you can get good software free. good music, not so much..

so if they stop you from stealing windows, you switch to linux.
but if they stop you from stealing the beatles… well there is no equivilent.
