any idiot can become a coder and write shitty programs, an excellent coder can come up with innovative ideas, and create a great program to earn lots of money
just as
any idiot can pick up an instrument and join a shitty houseband. A great musician can pick up an instrument and compose a great song
i code, and and play guitar, i know what i'm talking about
wanna pay $200 for a live ticket? most people don't, so most of the money comes from album sales. Most fans don't ever get to see a band they listen to live, people can casually buy a CD but not go casually to a concert. (well most people dont'). for instance i bought the daft punk CD but will never see them live.
folk songs are a different genre of music, pop music would better be equated with classical music, a field where some composers went to great length to protect their pieces from another composer taking credit for them. Folk musicians were not in the business of making money, classical composers were. Art and money do mix, to form a good product many a time.
the score is not copyrighted, you can rearrange it as you see fit, as you can with any music over 65 years old as in my understanding (IANAL). The performances ARE copyrighted, now if you want to spend a few hundred thousand dollars paying for your favorite orchestra to rehearse/record your favorite classical songs, so be it. The music is free the performance is not.
as a musician i resent the idea of anyone else touching my work that isn't in my band. especially since it still would have my name attached to it. Plus i cant' imagine the hell you'd have with multiple bands playing "forked" versions of the same song. Who deserves more credit? he who aranged the song or he who wrotes the licks. Lets say i write a song with some killer riffs but it's arranged poorly, downright ugly. Lets say someone comes around are rearranges the parts, who deserves the credit? bullshit, GPL is great, but it's for software.
except art requires less of an investment in time, i can do art in my spare time (in fact i do) but music takes a lot more devotino if you want to be good. It also means putting your career on hold sometimes. If you were a full time artist, it would be very hard to live if you licensed all your work under the GNU art license.
P.S. does that mean you have to give credit to stallman, hmmm thank god theirs no GNU/Picasso that'd be quite a disaster
i am a musician, and in a band. I do want to be paid for my music, and I want copyright restrictions, i don't want people to obtain free copies of my work. Why? because I want money. Think of it this way, serious bands need money, because they devote all their time to making music, If my band could do that, we'd be much more productive. Oh sure you could cry that the bands are too rich, well that's the select few that are major bands.
When you buy an album forget that your paying the RIAA tax, your supporting a band that you love. This does nto mean you should let down the fight against the opressive RIAA and their tactics, but don't let hte music be the casualty in this world. Bands are poor, bands need as much money as they can get to perpetuate themselves unless they don't mind working a dayjob.

i watch anime! i'm an anime fan! idiot. You didn't even read my post because if you did you'd have known that.
what i was saying was, that if anime belongs here so does football basketball and pretty much any other entertainment topic. I know i can turn it off, but I was simply stating that anime doesn't belong on/. Think about it.
We have stories on computers, and anime. Now, Computers make up about 90% of/. stories, isn't it kind of odd that anime got thrown in? It's obvious that it's just for taco to talk about whatever interests him. He has anime fu let him post it there.

did you take into account that the richter scale is non-linear, it's exponential. An earth quake of 4.1 is 10x the power of an earthquake @ 4.0

that's censoring
i'm 100% behind u on that, i'm sick of malda constantly promoting KDE. KMail sux!
so you won't need to worry about that, just l337s hacking into it and deleting all records of stock ownership.
that was NASDAQ [that switched to NT]
that would explain the stock pobs we've been having
it allows a company like redhat to answer questions like "is linux able to handle a large amount of secure transactions?" with, "well you know the NYSE uses it"
it's good for bragging rights
