    Re: 20 Years of TLC's Frustration with "LEGOS" —Dave Schuler
   (...) That's a good vision, but I'm concerned that it won't pan out that way. As long as someone--a loyal fan or not--is comfortable paying less or nothing for someone else's IP, there will always be considerable piracy. Even the alleged writer (...)

        Re: 20 Years of TLC's Frustration with "LEGOS" —James Powell
     (...) I would agree---except for what we do (FTE/ITW/EDA). All of those lists, tend towards tape trading _of non commerical material_ from the artist. It is seen as being done of love of the artist not out of spite. I mean, I own all the albums by (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

      (...) I would agree...BUT my fav. concerts to listen to are the ones which I went to...the visions of Sarah singing in LA at Universal Studios, casting a shadow on the opposite wall...and the _music_ from that concert.

        Re: 20 Years of TLC's Frustration with "LEGOS" —Frank Filz
   (...) Of course my point was that the music that the masses listens to WILL be free. The only question then is how the artists feed themselves. Some will do so by having another job.

   (...) 8^) There are some who would argue that music for the masses is already free in the form of radio and Napster, but of course the unlicensed redistribution of such music is an breach of copyright.
