Feck. Try logging in again Delph mate. It might give you the login window, then when you've logged in, it may say you've still to login again. Try that. It normally lets members in second time around under their login name. Unless you're working from another pc and it doesn't have a cookie for here stored. Still should allow you in second time around though.Anonymous wrote:Above 'guest' is me, delph_ambi. I have now logged in twice, but I'm not sure it the site's yet recognising me...
It really is getting bloody ridiculous now. Where in any other industry is originality and craft person's skills exploited to such a standard?the_leander wrote:From the article:

The more I read about how the current music industry rips their employees (musicians) off, the more I am inclined to agree with downloaders. Your friend downloading bands they like then supporting them by going to their gigs has a positive effect directly on those bands. They do make more from touring than they could ever make through the record companies who supposedly market them.Anonymous wrote:An unnamed person of my acquaintance downloads all music in such a way as to avoid paying anybody anything, then, if he likes the music, he make a real effort to buy tickets to go and see the band live.
Speaking as a performing musician, I can't help but sympathise with this approach. It is very difficult for musicians to get a good deal from record companies etc., despite the efforts of the musician's union. At least my unnamed acquaintance shows practical support for the bands he likes by attending their gigs.
