"Life's a bitch" is available for free download and I'm interested in your thoughts on how it has affected both your cd sales and your concert attendance.
I am interested in creative commons licensing of music, and the effect this has on the artist's recognition and sales. (I run a site that allows musicians to host their CCL'd work for free).

If you get this error when starting Firefox...go into Firebird and disable all extensions and switch to the default theme. You may have to do the same for Mozilla if you have that installed too.
or what about the fact that XP ships with automatic updating TURNED ON? How many people have turned this off? And you would think that those who knew enough to turn it off would patch manually with this serious of a bug.
I forwarded this information along to my rep in Maryland, who said he is considering introducing legislation regarding Spam during the next session... We'll see how that goes. Let's get more states to follow Michigan's lead.
They've also been infecting students' machines on university networks, which have high bandwith. Also, some students have been agreeing to relay spam through their machines in 'spam-for-pay' schemes.
Both of these occured at my school, causing SMTP servers to be banned on the residential network. This is forcing our Tech department to implement brash solutions such as an outright ban on SMTP until they get the resources for a more elegant solution. We are amidst a state-wide budget cut.
Who gives a damn about selling CDs? No one but the RIAA, Musicians tour and give concerts and would make more money without the RIAA around, Fans would be given more concerts and better overall deals along with cheaper music.
Musicians aren't interested in selling CDs? I have a hard time believing that. Maybe you meant who is interested in profiting from the sale of CDs. You say you are a musician. I wonder have you talked to any other musicians? You can't tell me they aren't interested in getting people listening to their music.
College students wont pay for music, but we will pay to go to a concert, I go to the movies more now that P2P exists than I did before it existed, I'll be going to see the Matrix, and I WILL buy software if its at a decent price,
Another sweeping generalization! I am a college student, and I will and do pay for music. In fact I pay for a lot more music than I ever did before I could download it quickly and take a listen before making a purchase.
What ever happened to democracy? the DMCA wasnt requested by anyone but CEOs and lobbyists who dont even make music. You need to wake up. We are not a democracy.

Sucks to be one of the several others, unless of course they were all anonymous....
