Freecycle: 54 MP3 CDs

You sell prints though.
And posters
And postcards.

Musicians also make money by playing gigs.
Songwriters also make money by licencing.
Both pay far better than mechanical copyright.

That's why I say I'm generalising. It still doesn't mean that your comparison is any more valid. They are two completely different things. Different business models, different revenue streams.

Real musicians make money touring.
But you can expect that from a manufactured ready-made pop cunt who put an album out first before ever performing live.

so you're saying that anyone who does not perform live is not a real musician?

I treat MP3 merely as a preview or a backup anyway.
I'm not from a generation who'd listen to a grime on a bus through a mobile phone.

so you're saying that anyone who does not perform live is not a real musician?

Yes.

Like an actor who performs Shakespeare in his bathroom isn't an actor at all.

Yes.

so does that mean a classical composer who does not perform is not a musician?

either way. whenever you infringe upon someones copyright, a puppy dies. fact.
giving away several copied cds is basically exactly the same as walking into a pet shop with a chainsaw.

He will be. After his death.
Am I a musician? I have a diploma, but can't even read music anymore.

Anyway, you know what I'm talking about beside joking around.

It's not like you are miming. Oh yes, baby, you is for real.

I would have fucking pirated their shit like the black-hearted lovechild of Bluebeard and Captain Jack Sparrow if it would have killed Led Zep.

Fucking awful band responsible for everything that is wrong with rock music.

For fuck's sake IAmNotARobot. Neg rep me because you don't agree with my opinion rather than post a well-reasoned counter-argument?
Discussion forums: You're doing it wrong.

yeah. that's not cool IAmNotARobot.

you're missing the whole point of the internet: getting involved in pointless arguments over things that have very little to do with what you initially set out to discuss.

Damn straight.

Damn straight.
