No thanks. If my music were really good, I'd prefer some nice income to buy a large house, provide for my children, continue my creatively unhindered by the need to earn money, and other things. What's the name of these musicians, I think I'll pirate their works.
But if you're depending on your music to generate the income that pays for your large house and supports your children, then your creativity isn't unhindered, is it? Granted, if it so happens that the music that you make is true to your own artistic spirit and it just happens to sell like hot cakes, this might not be a valid point, but to me it seems that it is a very rare artist indeed that makes it big by doing something real in this age of singing breast implants.
I don't know, but I think there is something fishy about there being a music industry. Music is supposed to be art, isn't it? Not a vehicle for record company executives to get rich and screw underaged pop diva hopefuls, or metal drummers to sue fans in order to finance their coke habits, or whatever. Though providing for your children if a far nobler goal, maybe this should be accomplished by a job. Let music remain an art, I say.
Darl & co are drawing up plans for their next lawsuit. The earth model will be infringing on SCO IP, possibly including but not limited to building and or landscaping plans. The infringing particulars can not be revealed at this time, due to trade secret considerations.
A source claiming inside knowledge of SCO legal strategy reports that Darl McBride's head, or the likeness thereof, will be cited as company "Intellectual" Property, and that any model of the earth at the planned scale will have to contain a representation of the aforementioned property. We find reason to question the reliability of this source, as clearly the distance which said object is positioned up the owner's arse falls well outside the boundaries of the planned model.
