You would like it to be the ’50s for different reasons.

Your post is ridiculously useless as you make no point in it.

Where did you receive the idea that I am regarding anything about materialism? I am not (anti-)materialistic and I have not called you for having “constant concern over material possessions and wealth”. The fact that you equate fans to money and non-fans to no money is your problem. Fans indeed do use P2P to obtain music.

The fact that you think that I regard to moral is very much proof that you don’t revisit your own statements for factual errors before attacking back.

As well, haven’t already I told you that I don’t write opinion? I would have thought that you would become more cautious before attacking back when I posted that, but suppose you’re that stupid.

“You’re a musican? You shouldn’t waste time cutting yourself off from the chance to do somethign you love as your job.”

But he can also love what he does that is not his job.

If you want to refute something, malgre, you need to stay on topic or at least cite actual facts and not make things up. DrewWilson would know about artists much more than you do.

“… but if you respected people, as a fan does, …”

So you claim that I’m not a fan of any kind and that I don’t respect people who I am not a fan of?

“That is a fact of this non-socialist world.”

What the…?!

I hear you try to make this about materialism or something over and over again.. if it is a moral issue, it’s pretty cleat cut and it’s not about ‘materialism’ or ‘conumerism’ it’s about theft.

Paul want it to be like it was in the fifties. He has a point. The stakes are a lot higher though.

Either they play covers or they wait tables, then.

A lot of gigs end up costing more then they pay or they break even. Labels can front you money to try and do a lot of stuff – becauser they are investing in the band as a business venture. That’s the reality of the business, and it’s only gotten worse as more and more live venues have closed since the eighties.

Drew, where did you hear that? That’s simply not the case. A lot of times support is in the form of getting fronted money against futire royalties. Pretty decent, in the sense that no bank is going to do that for you, and they are actually betting that you will succeed.

Any label that can do anything for you at all is a member of the RIAA. There are LOTS of little labels in the RIAA – most of them. You’re a musican? You shouldn’t waste time cutting yourself off from the chance to do somethign you love as your job.
