This thread and the BBC horizon one are perfect examples of this. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion and its a public forum blah blah but its gets really tiresome when an opinion/argument is posted ad nauseum on absolutely everything. Don't even mention the poor old Drawing room. Just saying like. The 'hide' function is good but by its very nature, distorts the conversation flow on a thread.

Nor have I entered into a slanging match with anyone on this particular thread. And I've not said I enjoy reading such comments. *sigh* Why is that when someone, no matter who, puts foward a point of view that doesn't square with the views of other posters, you'll always get a response like this. Are you sure its not posts like yours which have contributed to ????'s buggering off? Talk about overly sensitive. Jeez.

*Bob* Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Nobody likes to get ripped-off, but I honestly believe the only way to make a living out of music is to is to accept those certain realities which will never change (not for the better anyway), turn any benefits to your advantage - and try not to get so angry about the unfairness of it all that you end-up not being able to string a guitar without wanting to take a can of kerosene and a match to every man, woman and child who owns an iPod. Which would you prefer: losing 100,000 units to piracy whilst selling 20,000 legitimately - plus achieving some radio play and packing your gigs out?orLosing no units to piracy, selling 200, getting no airplay and playing week-in, week-out to a dwindling selection of friends until your audience consists of just you, your girlfriend and the landlord?An exaggeration clearly, but one to illustrate a valid point.

daizie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15165-stupid-copy-protected-cds/page/4/#findComment-400061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

citizenED Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Rosie H, the world is still full of nice and decent people. One swallow does not a summer make. Problem with copyright is that there is a massice grey area in the middle of two seemigly absolute views. Be nice if spats in the grey area were conducted with degnity.

Kingy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Back in the late '60's a friend of mine wrote a tune on an album, it later appeared in the movie The Gum Ball Rally, he never got paid, more recently, a few years ago they were playing the tune on the system at The Gowlett, I had a cd of the original album in the car outside at that time. the tune they were playing in the Gowlett was by 'The Thievery Corporation' and merely contained a very large sample of the track in question - later this tune was used on as the music to the BBC's Real Hustle programme (along with several others) but the BBC paid The Thievery Corporation ! the orignal writer still hasn't been paid for any of the above - make of it what you will Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15165-stupid-copy-protected-cds/page/4/#findComment-402035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Max Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Kingy isn't going to be happy...One of these proposals will address limited private copying. As things stand, 90 percent of the country is ? mostly unwittingly ? breaking the law by ripping music files from CDs and copying them to devices such as the iPod. The government said in its response that this situation "brings the law into disrepute"."It is not appropriate simply to tolerate unlawful private copying where it is not commercially damaging," the government said. It will now not only legalise limited private copying, but also block any attempts in licensing contracts to undermine this new exception.http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/intellectual-property/2011/08/03/uk-copyright-system-set-for-massive-overhaul-40093599/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15165-stupid-copy-protected-cds/page/4/#findComment-460590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
