The keyword here is invents. The music we share is not an invention. You & I may own a vinyl copy, but the copy write owners own the music. At least until the copy write becomes out of date. What we as bloggers are doing is borrow the music to share without paying any money to the owner. There is no getting away with the fact that once its on the www it belongs to everybody, to do with as they please. That is the downside of the web. The upside is we discover many things that we did not know about. You can't stop it being shared once it is on the net. Even by people reselling what you give for free. Thats called in business supply & demand. Some people (Suckers) will always think by paying its they get a legal copy. Most CD's & most reissued Vinyl of our type of music are bootlegs with no copy write paid. Making money be issuing old music has gone on for decades. I remember buying reproduction rockabilly 45's as a teenager. It did not mean I owned the copy write or the bootlegger owned the copy write. it was still a bootleg. Buying 2nd hand vinyl you also pay no copy write. Blogging a mp3 you pay no copy write is basically bootlegging. Blogging is about sharing for the love of it nothing else. I'm sorry if you stop I'd like the rest of the Obscure American series. But its your choice.Just remember the music was not yours to begin with, only the vinyl copy you own. It is not your invention. So there is no Plagiarism on music you did not invent. Not the same as something you do invent in the science world. Anyway I hope you continue to database the lost music Dean
Your password system does not help. This jus encourages those who can break it, to sell the music you share. If there was no password and everybody could get it for free, they would not see the point of trying to sell it.
My friend, Professor R'n'R: It was possible to see it from another perspective. For example, many of my works appear on the web, without any reference to me. It doesn't really bother me, because it means they have value, and that my mission to spread music and ensure it's not lost is being achieved. I'm really happy that they're being shared. I believe music is meant to be shared, and it is a courtesy to cite the original sources. With songs, it's more difficult. Personally, I don't know where most of the ones I publish came from, although I appreciate it. I don't consider myself a thief, but rather a disseminator. I hope you understand my ideas and continue with your work. Greetings from Spain. Jose
