Hello Tom - 

TW>>> BUT hi MP3 site was stealing Nothing form Anybody. The
TW>>> Artists, mostly unknown, placed theri sleections there of
TW>>> theri "Own FREE Will and Choice". Hoping for the chance
TW>>> of some word of mouth popularity. 

CA>> Not unlike the executive that seduces his secretary or the
CA>> "casting couch" eh? 

TW> I guess you could look at it as Prostuting yourse;lf. BUT
TW> it is really quite different and applies to Most Artistic
TW> pursuits. 

I realize that 'artists' have been treated this way and taken
advantage of for a long long time (forever?) but that is
regretable IMO. 

TW> Comedians must put their Tallents out FREE or Almost to be
TW> recognized, As to Stage actors etc. Thius also extends in
TW> to Sports and some other life ventures. 

I don't consider past precedent to be a good reason to continue
an unjust practice. 

TW> IT was not as EVIL as you paint it to be I don't think. And
TW> it sure gave the Musician FAR more exposure then they could
TW> get playing at small parties, Under Freeway Bridges or on
TW> Street Corners. 

Fortunately the sale of his website encouraged others to start
up similar websites and now there are many places where
unknowns can offer there 'art' to the public. 

If the US government wasn't so preocuppied with oil from
outside our own boundaries they might have a few pesos to spend
to encourage the arts in the ways the gov does in Japan. We
(Americans) will be remembered along with Atila the Hun,
Ghengis Kahn, and other despoilers of other people's countries.
I'm surprised we haven't burned the Library of Congress to the
ground as their predecessors did the library in Alexandria.
