i just thought that it would be cool if i could release an
album, in a proffesional way, of course,and i also thought
that it would be cool to sell it.

BUT after a while, i thought - giving my works to other
people for money ? well, i dunno, im making music not for
money, i share it coz i like to do it, nothing more. my and
your pleasure.it would be not cool to say one day " if you
want to listen to my tracks, buy my album". not at all.

I'd definately buy an album if you ever started selling!
(unless they cost £50)

seriusly, i never thought about it in this way - i know it
would be fine to know that ppl like my music enough to pay
for my works, but at the second hand - its not the issue,
right ? i mean, music is made for the people, not for the
money. i dunno.

well, thank you sir, but i dont want to sell them -
knowledge that you have them straight from me and you like
them is enought to feel good. thats the point.

you'd best set up a web page where people can download the
music, and donate money if they'd like

thats what i would do if i was talented

i thought about that, and in few weeks i will set up a page.

but as i've had two pages already, making info about
donations would make ppl to think im wising up or something.
fuck i never knew it would mess my ass in that way.

how about you burning them onto cds and the people who "buy"
them only pay for empty cds, printing artwork and shipping?

you should pull a Metallica and sue people who download your
music!

well, as you probably know blank CD-R's are quite cheap so
if i would demand money for these and for printing few
sheets of paper wouldnt be fair.

maybe shipping wouldnt be a problem, but taking money for
burning ? naah.

you can use the money you make from selling CDs to upgrade
your hardware/software

yeah, thats th epoint of making money, but still, idea of
getting money is odd. at least for now.

you could give up working for the brotherhood of steel and
concentrate solely on music

If you are gonna make music anyway, why not earn some money
on it?

I'd say: do it so that you have $1 of profit for each sold
record. That way, you may afford new gear more quickly if
lots of people buy the record...
