this is just to inform all the artists on the "fractured scapes" that the compilation cd in process and underway as indicated in a mesage by Aktium..has nothing whatsoever to do with me. His plans include remixing the tracks as well as charging for the resulting complilation. Both of these are strictly against my beliefs. I believe that only the artists involved can give their permision for their music to be remixed and or placed on a compilation which is going to be charged for and mailed out by Aktium. While if all the artists are consenting and agreeing to this venture then I dont see any problems with it as such..but I personally dont want to be involved in any financial, copyright and legal wrangles there of and have thus asked Aktium to remove the name "fractured scapes" and any references to the station. I want to keep running fractured scapes as a non profit and totally voluntary submission based station. I am including an email sent to me by Aktium and my response... ----------------------------------------------- yay!! i was hoping to find you. im just making a compilation album of the songs on your station. its just for personal use to start out with. im gonna mix the songs together then maybe ill mail the cds out to people for like a fee of $10 or something, which you would get a percentage of accorse. i wanna name the album fractured scapres too. its a good title. please send me your input on this. any artwork too that you may have in mind. ill talk to you later. peace. Aktium ----------------------------------------------- hello Aktium I dont like the idea of charging the people to get the cd comprising of their own music. Any charge should also have a percentage going to the artists contributing the music as well and I realise that it will be a logistical impossibility. Also I believe that any artists whose music is being used should give their express approval, another step I am yet to see you take. I would like for you to remove the name "fractured scapes" from |

here is my email response in complete form hello Aktium I dont like the idea of charging the people to get the cd comprising of their own music. Any charge should also have a percentage going to the artists contributing the music as well and I realise that it will be a logistical impossibility. Also I believe that any artists whose music is being used should give their express approval, another step I am yet to see you take. I would like for you to remove the name "fractured scapes" from the CD as well as any reference to station. I was running the station as a free service in the name of good will, and refuse to be a part of financial and legal wrangles that might arise from this venture. While you are at it please refrain from using any of my songs..my music is on the station as the following artists... gSR waxploder f.l.e.a Marzipan Dolphin lintmop regards habala p kabala (flea) |

I was thinking of doing a similar thing, only getting the funding to make the cd from the government and tabacco companies, and only charging the people who got the cd distrobution... (so baisically less than a dollar per double disc set). Hmmm. |

what I "would" encourage people to do is to download the songs themselves make themselves compliations out of artists and songs they like and then If they want to share it with their respective friends families etc..feel free to do so as long as the names of the artists and their urls are written down for the respective people to explore further as and when they might choose to. |

while this matter is under discussion I have placed the station on non active status. |

cool animation/gif flea :) mmhh.. i don't mind the idea "as such" - but yeah .. would be kinda nice if aktium informed the artists before anything "semi-official" was going on. personally i have no problem with compilations and the sort .. but yeah .. communication is key or something :) |

my point exactly..the artists have a right to know what's happening to their music and if it is being remixed by some one and placed on a compilation..they should definetly know about it. |

theres nothing official im not remixing the songs. im just mixing them together. its not gonna be released or anything. i just though you guys would like to check it out. im sorry i thought it was a good idea. everyone has talked about this for a long time i just wanted to take action on it. |

and yes i alredy said the artsts urls will be in the inlay. the only reason why would want a small fee would be for shiping and haneling. im gonna make this project, but im not planning on selling it on the streets or anything. basically for personal use. everyone seemed to like the idea of getting a ccopy. everyones been sending me artwork a nd helping me out. i just thought it would be a cool project. and i never said ill be remixing songs. i didn't know that little project like this would be such a contriversy. |

it is a controversial issue Aktium...it's about people's intellectual property...and it involves legwork..umm webwork all is not lost..contact all the artists..get their approval..get a different name and there you are.. |

I agree, but I wasn't too worried because nobody would buy it given they can download the tracks themselves... I guess there are a few who don't have a cd burner though... It's very dumb if only one person makes money off it though, but if it's just for shipping them and for the blank cd purchases, hmm... It seemed like a fairly harmless offer. I'm not sure actually. |

yeah it's harmles enough but when it comes to intellectual property i become a bit worried..if it's got the name fractured scapes on it..all the investigation trails would end up on my door..if you know what I mean.. call it something else..I am fine with it! plus no I dont wanna touch any money off it... |

peaple live all over the world here. mabe if i just turned the cds into mp3 files peaople could just download the mix then no money would be involved. |

I won't worry about it unless my tracks are included...But if any of them are then If theres profit I'd like to see some. If theres not fine by me. If theres remixing I want t know. As long as I know I proly won't care... |
