I do not support, want to be associated with or
tolerate violating artist rights. I love and live for
music and musicians.

You have conjured up a set of arguments to justify
your actions. Does violating copyrights do the artist
a favor by creating revenue and promotional
opportunity? No! I've seen this first hand and know
the outcome. Experience outweighs assumptions.

Your a criminal for personal gain, artistic, social
and economic change. A Robin Hood for artists? A
problem is that "digital musicians" who violate
copyrights as a rule return nothing.

As an artist, I will tell you that your assistance in
building my career through copyright violations is
unwanted. I have laughed about similar strategies,
naming my album Evil Inside, in order to create
publicity. These strategies are a two minute giggle
and that's about it.

I converted my commercial studio to Linux in 2001. I
have about a dozen start to finish albums done with
Ardour, JAMin and LADSPA and several terabytes more in
the oven. I've learned alot from Linux users and
software developers. I feel a dept of gratitude and
have an opportunity to give something back. I'll do my
best.

I am obsessed with becoming a perfect musician and
time is a premium. I need to spend mine on a drum
throne at 80bpm for the next couple years (Chinese
water torture comes to mind). Thanks for everything. I
am unsubscribed.
