Is it ok to steal produce because the worker that sowed the seeds it isn't fairly paid? It's an imperfect system, but an artist that is signed to a label has entered into an agreement, and they should be rewarded by the consumers, albeit indirectly and insufficiently, for their efforts.Sonya Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905712871437811120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701030521997183085.post-65355636166819120402008-08-19T14:36:00.000-07:002008-08-19T14:36:00.000-07:00Yes.

Why wouldn't we pay for our music? I like the pasta example. A high end restaurant charges $20+ for a plate of pasta vs. I can buy a box and make it myself for about $1. If not less if I buy in bulk. I can buy a CD or buy individual songs by a professional or I can sing into a recorder and listen to that for a lot less. What would I rather listen to? Easy choice.Margie in Oaklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117371642009001047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701030521997183085.post-50675943961883415372008-08-18T20:27:00.000-07:002008-08-18T20:27:00.000-07:00I'm often struck by the value that's placed on a p...I'm often struck by the value that's placed on a plate of pasta, consumed in under 20 minutes, vs. the price of a CD that will provide years of enjoyment. Even if you only count the initial listening time - it last at least twice as long as the pasta. <BR/><BR/>But then again, I'm not the typical consumer of music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701030521997183085.post-38904892801141436652008-08-18T18:10:00.000-07:002008-08-18T18:10:00.000-07:00Well said, Ms. P.

The only reason it was even made was that our benefactor, who shall remain nameless, had the money, sort of, and just wanted what he saw as good material to be recorded well. We never got anywhere near close to making a small fraction of that money back for him, to my undying dismay. <BR/><BR/>To persons who think all musicians are egomaniacs doing something frivolous, and therefore should offer their work free, I say, go learn how to play an instrument, learn to sing, learn to write good songs, learn to perform, become a band leader/kindergarten yard supervisor/corporate administrator/web designer/promoter for your own self. It takes an all-consuming commitment, thick skin, a keen business sense, energy beyond the mpg of several lattes a day, and a love of music far beyond the possibility of profit. Not to mention an experience of life that translates into songs that have an affect.
