Have we discussed this? Is it worth discussing? Is Snocap something bad (I thought it was some anti-p2p thing). Would you consider it? Is it just another legitimate avenue for artists to sell their work.. or is the whiff of The Man all too strong as he greedily stuffs your underground tracks into his corporate underpants. Who buys this rubbish anyway? |

Fuck that. MySpace should be freely raped IMO. |
||||||||
|

I think I remember readin' something about the music you put on MySpace... The "User Agreement" states that everything you upload automatically belongs to MySpace owners... but can't remember much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Snocap reminds me of what mp3.com tried to do circa 1999 |
||||||||
|
|

There were loads of shit going around about that, they changed the terms since then. |
||||||||

I don't think that wass true, what they were saying was they have the right to play your music on their site, otherwise you could upload your music, some other user plays it, and then you go "wtf???!?! who said you could play my music??? You owe me $$$$$$$$$$$s in damages" like some craven American legal eagle with blood in his nostrils might. |

Just logged in to see there's a mail from fella Tom explainin' some of this stuff... To me it seems a waste of time. Nobody would buy our stuff. They don't buy our cds or vinyls. We make more money sellin' t-shirts with our logo. Sad but true. |

ZZ Top sold more key rings than records, don't worry about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Jajaja! No worries here. I just do it to play gigs and get free beers and drugs... |
||||||||
|

hmm it just looks like they're trying to go up against itunes music store... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And they are Google powered now... whatever that means. Just realized... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The user agreement used to say that everything you upload belonged to them (still does, actually), but they changed it, so that the terms in which they use your material is no longer for THEIR gain, only to give them the rights to play it on their site. They used to be able to redistribute it at will for anything (even sell it). I cancelled when I read that change.. then 2 months later they changed the TOS policy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They probably changed the TOS because it's like me saying "I've downloaded one of your mp3s, it's now mine", it's untenable. How many signed artists are on that site? Or if I, Dave Spratt, uploaded 4 tracks by BOC on there, would MySpace have instantly "owned" them? Of course not, absolute piss. |

why sell on myspace when you can sell it directly to ppl on iTunes? I've got a release for you |
||||||||
|

Fuck Tom. |
||||||||
|
|

But Tom is everyones friend..... and in alot of peopls top 8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alot of people haven't found the 'change top 8' button yet. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Why sell it on iTunes tunecore when you can |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sell all my stuff on myspace. It's actually been a nice way to get back in touch with people from back when mp3.com was going strong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope your net label is getting a cut of the profits young man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seeing as I didn't get a cut of the profits I can't say I give a shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oof...That's fucking harsh. Was it just you or does everyone on the label get a 0% cut? |
||||||||
|

I accidently got cc'd in on an email that would suggest I wasn't the only chump. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's fucking terrible. I would fire bomb them or something. How did you get in touch with them in the first place? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Friend of a friend. Probably the worst way to go about things. I'm not bothered myself it's just, I know people who did buy it and, to be fair, they were supporting me and not.. some pretend lable that wasn't even interested in investing that money back into.. the label, so... I don't know, that's the music biz, I guess, even at the most humdrum, trivial, poxy level. |

I rarely pay for the output of professional musicians, I'm not going to start paying for the output of amateurs. |

well ive been on myspace but have no idea what that sno-wotever is. i've been asked to play 2 gigs (one has already happened, the other will happen end of january) and hopefully will get toplay a3rd. no idea if the donate button on my page hs gotten my donations, no clue at all. itsbeen weird, but also decent. theres some really creative people on myspace, like thomas jerome newton for instance, whose timelapse stuff simply owns. and so on. |

ding ding. |

Readers of "Air Biscuits" also bought "Touching the Cloth" That is interesting though, the mix of Hits and the Long Tail, there is hope out of stagnant pop music and a billion crappy tracks on the net, but the shittest part is how we consume music generally now, but when the dust settles and those sort of services become more widespread artists and audiences will find each other regardless of economics and tossing off media slags. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And then, having read that, I slashed the price of my "album" to $1. One Dollar! That's what.. a tip to the guy who looks after the lavvy, which is admittedly more useful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As you say, when the dust settles I'm sure there'll be some beautiful connections. It's deffinitley not there at the moment and I do miss allready the shared "event" of an album release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was going to say that about shared experiece, it's like "the old days" and just three TV channels, you went to school knowing everyone had seen The Sweeney. But, I suppose, what with online.. communities.. and maybe The Kids being more suited to "that sort of thing", the shared experience will come in places like, hey, XLT v2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're right again! It's XLT v2 where the REAL future lies. It's going to be here soon too! Woo HoooooOO! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phobia's just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up, it's not when xlt v2 is ready, it's when are we ready for xlt v2. |

Swedish my arse! He/It is on to the "Gen nexters" in some global manner that trancends locale. |

I was under the impression that the "done thing" with music on myspace was to upload unreleased/alternate versions of tracks or new material, thereby giving your audience occasional tantalising glimpses of it, but preventing them from ever listening to it with any sort of regularity thanks to myspace's "Shittiest ever music player (TM)". |
