David Bowie on Music, Copyrights, Distribution

EddydaSquige writes "In this New York Times article David Bowie talks about his new album, distribution deal with Sony, and how he's "fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years, and authorship and intellectual property is in for such a bashing." Do you think the Bowie machine has the power to make the music industry see the light?"

    Just because you are one of the dumbasses still jacked into 1998 petty compatibility arguements about using plugins doesn't give you valid arguement or insight into shit.

    Your usage of language simply demonstrates your anger and self-hatred which suggest you get a life and/or grow up. "Eyecandy whoredom" proves you of little or no intellect. When does a musician become an artist? When is a band a product? Why should a real artist bend to public demand, i.e., censorship?

    You are a contrived fuck head. Go back to your local garage bands that haven't "sold out" and are the "real deal". As it is you who are self-absorbed and you shall never experience a solitary second of the 15 minutes of fame that some of those who are truly gifted might be so lucky to experience, you flaming cunt of dogshit.
