Anywayz, im still playing vinyl so they can suck my nuts. ill copy vinyl to CD and play it if i want to and they can still dangle my hairy scrote on the tip of their tongue.

I am playing wav. or audio files but I still second what you said!

...I read your posts from time to time for sheer entertainment and I must say that somehow your phrasing, bloody mindedness and sarcasm reminds me of simon00's - you guys aren't related in any form or shape?

Just venting my anger at the fact that whatever money they are trying to make from these laws is most likely going to the wrong people.

they tried something similar in the UK a couple of years ago, after a lot of "that's bullshit" comments, I've not heard anything more of that scheme.
Seems that the big labels want to assume we're all stealing our music, so we have to pay for it through these licences.

bet this blanket fee wont put any more money back into my pockets (as an artist), nor any of the other artists tracks i play out.
i spend fuck loads of money on music, this money goes to:

-Beatport
-Label
-Artist

if they want to do something proper about this, they should be attacking clubs and bars about the public broadcast licenses, make djs fill out performance statements to get money back into the artists and labels pockets.

this is possibly the stupidest thing i have read in a while and i hope it doesnt get off the ground.
hopefully its not something that will affect the underground (if u wanna cal it that) scene

Fair enough. While I don't agree on the view that those big stars do it just for the money and should therefore be less respected (regardless of musical taste, lyrics, etc) I do agree with you on the point about the money going to all the wrong people. Those artists that actually need the money will not see a cent of it and most if not all of it will go to the fat cats in the suits who like to milk the entertainment industry for all it's worth.
