Well I agree what Wolfgang has to say about the Digital public domain .. and one should he happy(?) when they find out that they are being copied . every one has copied charlie parker to chuck berry and if copy rights were in place all the white folks would be paying through their nose to the black folks. All the the modern music (leaving out some bits of electronica) have their ideas, structures, progressions etc derived from black man's music and it is as simple as that :) So let us give our respect to all those people who showed us the way and go ahead and make music. I think that is why we are musicians and w sholud make money by playing live. If your music is getting circulated on the digital domain and your name remains intact with the song while it goes from one hard disk to another to cd's to the internet to P2P .. in a way i think it is good for you maybe someone wil call you up and give you gigs .i think we should exploit these virtual channels now that we are in 2005. <>ISh >Copyright : here is your copy .....right(?)
