Re: [313] Lil Louis Out of Napster
no flames but I disagree, I think that all musicians have the right to forbid that their music is available on Napster I love Lil Louis records and it is indeed very difficult to find them, but not impossible. It has taken me a lot of webtime and a lot of hard cash, but I have found most or all of his essential stuff one way or the other. You shouldn't always settle for the easy way! RD : Lil Louis,like the Beatles or Metallica,is forbidding : his tracks on Napster. : That man is very jealousy of his music,any comments? this is a pretty silly move it's so difficult to get his records anyway... now less people are gonna have access to his music. as i was just discussing with a friend we would by his records as soon as we saw them regardless if we had them in mp3 format or not. i do understand that it is his music and he has the right, but it seems a little weird to me. flames?? tan... -- graham [tan] wilson - MNEMIC IMAGE [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fnord.fishwerx.org/tan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Signup for FREE email and member home pages at http://www.turkey.com
Re: [313] Lil Louis Out of Napster
to be honest, i would not really appreciate my music being distributed thru other channels than those i can monitor. i feel my music does not stop with the plain tracks, the whole presentation(titles, format(vinyl)) is essential for what i do.. besides that i like to keep a certain amount of control over em.. to know what people think about it as well as whose involved in the distribution of the item. It´s the same with tings like mix cd´s i like to be able to say no if i don´t believe in the concept.. besides that in the end the tracks r my property so its a matter of respect. every copy has been manufactured carefully and handled by the people i consider to b the best in the world in what they do... give the pressing plant and the mastering-company some respect and buy the vinyl so we can all get ahead in this industry, we really need ur support ..( respect to MPO, Pole at DM and Michiel at SSR, u make the record so much more than just the tracks..) When u r just a small artist things like napster keep ur music smal, no money to build my studio in what it should be and i still have to work 40hours 5 days a week and still run the label, do the artwork and stuff, step into the studio and all...this way i can never find the time to do more stuff, hope u can all feel this. maybe one day we will be really out there instead of those corporate boys...till then i guess i just have to wait for some free time and work 24/7. 154

I always thought napster really came into its own with difficult to find underground stuff. I have found mp3's of tracks I sure as hell wouldnt be able to find on record... Guess I downloaded a copy of french kiss just in time. Artists dont get royalties from second hand sales, so if a track is way out of print it might as well be available in some way. Any serious music lover dislikes the quality of mp3's anyway - so its not like they wouldnt buy it if they could. Scott. http://www.mp3.com/ScottVallance

Any serious music lover dislikes the quality of mp3's anyway - so its not like they wouldnt buy it if they could. The second hand issue is a good (and oft forgotten) point but at least the artist has (in theory) recouped a little off that same product. Then of course there are CD burners. All my friends like Napster - DJs love them - but I am old skool and enjoy having a disk/record in my hands with the artwork and credits, etc. I think Napster is the way of the future, but it has to be more equitable - not so much for the corporates but the smaller independent artists, like techno producers. I think Chuck D's arguments are fairly sound - he is on the money that guy.
