New Site Design.. And A Little Story About Fraud..

hi,

a couple of days ago I have decided to change the design of my site, using the LoudBlog platform I have seen on Suva’s Remixta.net site.

read about this decision (not really interesting)

however, what I really wanted to show you is this little experience I had with a music promotion site.

Pay attention when you are signing contracts! (Expecially in Italy :rolleyes:)

I’ve been looking for that Hunter quote, thanks.

Pretty much sums up it up. And I believe the negative side is getting blackballed for not working cheap or free in exchange for sewer candy.

This might also relate or not…

Music was never MEANT to be an industry

Well… but you can’t live off music alone… so either everybody makes some music on the side while working the fields (“whistling”), or some specialists dedicate themselves to it so everybody can go to a phat concert after work…

I’m not even playing devil’s advocate, I think it’s not as simple as “music wants to be free”. Personally I’m more into spreading a message than thinking about how to make money off it… but I DID spend quite a deal of time, money and health on it, so I fucking well reserve the right to try to get some of that back at some point. Even if that means deleting all shady mp3’s just to not be a hypocrite… ugh, now that I think about it… oh well, reserving a right is not the same as claiming it.

Itty are you going to make your new blog pink and have little green aliens on it? I kinda miss that already :P

There are a lot of dead links about. For example I couldn’t even subscribe to the feed.

well, who knows, I could have a second thought about this and let the pink and green colours come back :)

anyway, the RSS feed works fine here, maybe there was some temporary problem on the server? or did it give you a 404 error?

Nevermind, I think my FF was being temporarily Republican.

I never said it should be free… I simply said it was never meant to be an industry :P

… even if you charge for your music, it doesn’t hit “industry” status until greedy corporations get their hands on it ;)

Hi, Thanks for the reminder on contracts…

I wanted to post a comment (btw, nice anti spam you got there, asking for your name, I like that) and when I click preview, it says my IP is blacklisted!!!
