Prince/NPGMC in December Wired Magazine Page 40 has the following:
Rock Star Manifestos That Trash The Record Labels Fight the Power Musicians: They're loud, rebellious, combative. And no, we're not talking about their sound. Rockers are taking to the Web (and to print) to publish manifestos on the business and technology of music. Should recordings be distributed digitally? Is file sharing destroying the industry? Who gets paid? It's like a b-school seminar crossed with a sweaty club date. Not surprisingly, the artists agree on one thing: Record companies are bloodsuckers. --Ethan Smith 4 musicians are featured, Courtney Love, Prince, Janis Ian, Moby Prince "A nation of thieves?" Ax to grind: "People r noticing that something isn't quite right" at entertainment companies, which have lost "the ability 2 'break thru' cultural barriers." Meanwhile, "even economists who thought that file sharing 'should b' hurting the recording industry r now xpressing their doubts." Last hit: "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold," 1999 Logic: Impossible 2 assess. http://www.npgmusicclub.c...ieves.html | |

The bad thing about this is that Greatest Romance is listed as the last hit when Prince released a masterpeice like TRC. | |

Filing sharing, to me is like virtual reality,
pretty soon everyone will be escaping into a cosmic state of mind indulging in things that are not really there in the FIRST PLACE. Filing sharing created a means to simply take someone's art, and TAKE it - sometimes for free. Is this a fair game? So - Filing sharing simply should have NOT been allowed in the FIRST PLACE to simply TAKE. Well these files are not for people to take, these are for an artist (if she/he wants to) to sell and for us to appreciate. 
This is my moment, I'll take it you c, just the way I want to, as real as can be.  [This message was edited Fri Nov 15 8:32:50 PST 2002 by EchoOfMySoul] | |
