Who the fuck are Prefuse?
- Blofeldt0
Dunno, on Warp though.
That's a bit harsh Kona, I mean you'd be upset if Hootie and Blowfish never got going because they got ripped off by thier 'fans' wouldn't you?

welcome to the electronic age.
and bravo if you realize the idea of a hand clapping orchestra.
- k0na_an0k0
Are you telling me that as you listen to your 1000+ mp3s?
You expect me to believe you paid for each and every one of them.
Please.

Exactly the reason I plan to start a "Steal EVERYTHING" campaign. For all those who don't think stealing music matters-
Kona- your website design will be on the top ten least to claim as my own. I am just about to add your work to my portfolio.

For taragee
Feb. 09, 2005 All Japan dates with Battles and Beans. All Europe dates with Battles. US dates soon.
To all you wonderful people that have downloaded my fucking album. thanks!! To you fantastic people responsible for posting my fucking album = an extra thanks to you!! I should shelve this album, let the computer have it, quit Prefuse and start a hand clapping orchestra. If I could afford to give this album to everyone - i would do it, but instead i fucked up and forgot i was wearing a sign around my neck that says; "I work for free!", my bad... Alright - big up yourselves. Gracias...!
To the journalists posting the track listing and not listening to the record - The correction = CLAUDIA DEHEZA + ALEJANDRA DEHEZA - two women, twins at that. There is no Claudi(o) in the house.
That taragee. So pretty much anyone with even one unpaid for mp3 should have nothing to say to me. I've downloaded my fair share without paying, BUT I've spent a shitload on songs as well. Hell, a good majority of the songs I heard from online radios before they were big, downloaded the single, then bought the entire cd.

i'm not sure i follow what you mean. either it sucks or it's good. i can't figure it out.
- taragee0
it is too complicated to get into here.... but musicians make the $$ ff touring and shit - they barel see $$ form teh record deals
- Blofeldt0
I have 10 mp3's, all downloaded legitimately
I was once 'round someone's house and they played a tune I played on, so I mentioned I was glad they bought the album and they told me they'd ripped it off some website. They were fucking proud of it! When I left I nicked £15 worth of booze, I figured they wouldn't mind.
I expect you'd be pissed off if someone ripped off your artistic hard work. But that's a pretty unlikely eh?
- k0na_an0k0
ouch.
but i won't make fun of you for being silly enough to pay 25.99 for the new greenday cd.
personal attacks makes baby jesus cry blofeldt.
- Blofeldt0
That's right TaraGee, all musicians make millions don't they?
- k0na_an0k0
Ah, after reading further. So you won't pay for music but you 'nick' booze?
ok.
- mirola0
see that's what i thought originally. but what about people like this guy, he'swriting incredible, innovative music that isn't mainstream so he's not making super $$ he's probably doing ok. but i suppose not selling as much music makes it harder.
- taragee0
im just saying- they get screwed on record deals usually and touring/merch is how they make $$$
- and if we are being honest here- if i DL a record and liek it i buy the cd for real and - put it on my ipod and then usually give the cd away
i have been listening to satilite radio more now than buying cds because they are way too $$
i would def buy more mp3s but alot of what i liek isnt on itunes
- Blofeldt0
I don't get to mad about downloading illegal mp3's per say, i think a lot of people download a few tracks, and if they like them go and buy the whole album, or other albums by that artist.
It's the attitude that you're not stealing, and that somehow musicans don't care you're stealing their work. Music piracy harms small groups, all the underground artists many NTer's like
