Louis Lingg and the Bombs. http://ur1.ca/2395 Anarchist punk that wears it's late-70s influences on it's sleeve. !ccmusic !Jamendo #BY-NC-SA

Take a look at @lucasgonze's http://freshhotradio.com/ — a best-of netlabel streaming station programmed with love (and taste) !ccmusic
-
@freemjd Philosophical difference. To me that's a bonus creating flexible solutions for artist sustainability.
-
@freemjd I also think the software analogy needs to be extended to include developers paid to work on closed source but contributing to OSS
-
@freemjd I think both are valid. Sharing your art shouldn't mean losing commercial control. Embracing BY-SA is great, but not the only path.
-
@cashmusic Worse for a musician who loses control of part of their back catalog because they sold "rights" to somebody else.
-
@freemjd Control of masters is a major issue. But if anything, NC protects an artist from seeing their work turn up on an unauthorized comp
-
@freemjd Pulling music after the fact is lame. That's the nice thing about CC's sharing — you're still free to share. (not the same, but...)
-
@freemjd Until the public embraces drastically new funding models for artists a blanket statement would starve full-time artists.
-
@edythemighty Sorry about the reply ping-pong. Now following @freemjd — interesting POV and the conversation should at least be on my feed
-
@cashmusic RIAA's argument? A tiny, tiny minority of artists are full-time artists. The rest already would starve without other incomes.
-
@cashmusic This is guesswork and intuition, as are the RIAA's numbers. :) But the burden should be on those wanting to restrict freedoms.
-
@freemjd A tiny minority maybe, but not a tiny number. Loads of A2IM artists, etc. Should they be forced to RIAA labels or a second job?
-
@freemjd Many (many) indie artists are FT musicians and indie labels are pushing towards more liberal licensing...
-
@freemjd and for the record, RIAA numbers aren't guesswork, they're utter fabrications ;)
-
@cashmusic Anecdote: Friend in a successful indy band. First $ they made on recordings: when dumped by their label, sold old stock at gigs.
-
@cashmusic Copyright isn't about rights; it's supposed to benefit society.
-
@freemjd To sum up, I love the idea of free culture but I feel we need to embrace a progression towards it or risk losing valuable art.
-
@cashmusic Why sadly? I can't see anything but midi cover bands at my local pub. Free distribution is audience-building for real bands.
-
@cashmusic Summary: shareware culture is a dead end we need to abandon in order to get the full benefit of 21st century free culture.
-
@freemjd Sadly only because of the lack of options. (And because gigging enough to make a living is damn hard/lonely work...)
-
@cashmusic I'd go to more gigs (& gladly pay a cover charge) if I had a way of knowing in advance I was going to like the band.
-
@freemjd and thanks for the conversation. truly appreciated.
