  • CONCEAL YOUR IDENTITY


    (*amen break kicks in*)

  • For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    I won't say that the current major-label setup, with the actual musicians making a pittance off album sales, is a good one. But I also object to the implied assumption that the record labels shouldn't get any money because they aren't the ones making the music. The record labels are the ones advertising the band, getting their album into the stores, etc., so the band can focus on music-related crap.

    And as for independent musicians, I get the impression that for every completely independent success story, there's a band like Radiohead or Jars of Clay, indie bands that are currently self-sufficient because of the fanbase and connections they built while they were on a major label.

    So long as people use it in the way you use it, Pangur Ban, it's probably alright (in that you end up paying money and supporting the musicians, and that you care about supporting the musicians and don't feel a sense of entitlement to have all music indefinitely for free).

    "and they have possibly gained a new fan who will buy things moving forward."

    Assuming that said fan is willing to
    buy things and spend money on things he/she likes, yes.

     (as opposed to feeling entitled to indefinitely own all the world's music for free; with "indefinitely", "own", "for free" and "all" being the key words).

    I guess I have no problem with what you're doing (other than the riskiness of breaking laws, I guess, don't get in trouble.  I like talking to you).  It's like a library, I guess, where you read the beginnings of books before you decide whether or not you want to check it out; and then you decide whether or not you want to pay money to a bookstore to own it; but libraries are known for reimbursing the original authors.

    I don't know, I'd feel more comfortable with it if this advertising/introducing-new-fans service of illegal downloading was accompanied by some sort of direct monetary reimbursement; however small.  Like, maybe you give the artist a penny per song; paid for by the traffic revenue your site gets.

    And music labels help, they advertise and distribute, so they need to get paid as well for their support of the musician.  Yes, it should be better for the musician, but music labels do a service and should get paid for it by the people who use said service.

    I wouldn't like Europe to be taken over by immigrants, as I wouldn't want anywhere to be taken over by anyone.  I want the world to improve so everyone can live well and get along.

    Does that make me a terrible person?

    Good because Europe was never in danger of being taken over by immigrants outside of fascist fantasylands.

    I think europeans are cool, but I think people of all continents and heritages are cool.  I think people are awesome; but not as awesome as Suchians.

    -reads article on happy atheists-

    Spoiler:
    Okay, that was a poorly titled article with a rather irritatingly misleading first few sentences.  What he should have said was "those atheists that are hedonistic, amoral, and selfish are among my least favorite people"; and really, hedonism, amorality, and selfishness is annoying regardless of religion; so why specify atheism in particular?

    Some atheists believe that people are truly special beings and that you should act ethically and do good unto all men; many of them don't accept this idea of "just do what you want, pleasure is the greatest virtue".

    I'm fine with the message (that religion is good, that morality is good, that hedonistic amoral selfishness is bad) but I'm not fine with the presentation.

    The problem isn't with atheism, it's with selfishness, hedonism, and amorality, which are not necessarily atheistic traits any more than they are religious traits.

    And that rant about math; I agree with the message (that math is not necessarily the be-all and end-all of all knowledge, and that other things should be celebrated, too) but I'm not fine with the presentation.  Math isn't everything, but it's okay if people like it and think it's neat.  The problem isn't with math, it's with the people who are snooty towards those who have other interests and the arts.


    It's like belching out the Gettysburg address; the message is good, but your presentation is awful.

    Speaking of thinkers on the mind in germany before the second world war, I would like to point out that Carl Gustav Jung was not antisemitic and despised Hitler and the horrors of Nazi Germany. He was fascinated by the culture of Germany and it's folktales and national spirit, but he was not a Nazi Sympathizer. I can think of 488 reasons why it would be inaccurate to label Jung as being on the same level as Wagner.

    I have never seen Jung depicted as a Nazi sympathizer

    but then it's not like I've seen everything in the world

    tzetze is most likely smarter than me in most respects, but not like enough smarter than me that he loses me when explaining or talking about something.


    i like that, because usually i either get something right away or i have a really hard time figuring it out, so it's nice to like be brought to understanding something that i would not quite get otherwise.
