Carp-Free Independent Music Labels

Posted by michael on from the healthy-choice dept.

robkill writes "The actions and intentions of the RIAA have been under close scrutiny in the folk music community as well as Slashdot. In addition to Janis Ian's article previously featured here on Slashdot, guitarist Harvey Reid has an article on the importance of internet radio for the independent music community. Besides posting a number of good links, he has started a signup webpage for independent artists and music labels who are interested in circumventing the CARP fee. Right now, it's only a mailing list for Artists and Record Labels who want to see internet radio succeed. So if you own the copyrights on some independent music, why not join the list? For the rest of us, it's a good list of musicians to support."

    /. claims to be a site in which the rating of posts is done by users.

    Please find me a reference that claims that posts are rated ONLY by users.

    I doubt you'd see the trolls "whining" if the editors just owned up to the fact that they do what they damn well please, ban users, down-mod posts, whatever.

    1) Please show me where they deny this.

    2) Please tell exactly why Taco et all shouldn't do as they "damn well please" considering it's their site, and represents what THEY want to talk about. If they think something is off-topic, then BY DEFINITION it's off-topic. The reason Slashdot is good is exactly this reason: Taco rules with an iron hand, and prevents it from turning into a garbage heap where the lunatics run the asylum.

    Hope you find this entertaining.

    Note quite as entertaining as "Heil Taco", but it's still pretty amusing watching how upset people get when Taco actually manages his own site.
