lazygecko Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Big celebrities don't really make that much money from their music. What they do make money from is doing commercials, interviews, attending at high profile nightclubs, etc. They are simply a brand which people invest money in, the music part is really neglible.
Cato Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I agree with what Gecko said a few pages back: people that use 'warez' most likely weren't going to buy the product anyway, so the company doesn't technically lose anything. Personally, in the future, I'd just like my music to be distributed, so I wouldn't mind people downloading. Of course that would probably be different if I worked at a software company or something. It would be a 2nd profession too, so as long as I'd have income I'd be cool with it; at least I think so, I know a lot of things can change when stuff gets financially rough. I don't know, I'm an advocate of making music for people to hear it, not to pay me off. Maybe that's old school.
Skrypnyk Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I wanna start a rock band. Guess I better download some electric guitars, and bass guitars, and drums, and people to play all these instruments.
lazygecko Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I wasn't really talking about the cheaper software, those are clearly within range of anyone. But when you see songs everywhere that use top-notch East West stuff, yet sound blatantly uninspired and doesn't use an ounce of the tools' real potential, you can be sure it's just some John Doe who torrented it and cannot be bothered with learning the software correctly.
Yoozer Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Or he's just a talentless git with too much cash and not enough skill.
Nicholestien Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 So, and correct me if I'm wrong, the gist of your argument is "I deserve to have whatever music or software I want, but music and software aren't important enough to actually pay someone for, so musicians and software-makers therefore don't deserve to be paid, and they're bad people for wanting to be paid."the jist of my arguement is your face. dude, I just be talking out my ass in case you havn't notice. shit, fuck, motherfuckin' hoe.
Kanthos Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Can we hold a poll to ban Nicholestien? If we get an overwhelming number of votes, the forum staff might listen! Best post in the thread right here. I'm in.
big giant circles Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 the jist of my arguement is your face. dude, I just be talking out my ass in case you havn't notice. shit, fuck, motherfuckin' hoe. wow. why are you participating in the conversation again? if you're intent is "you just be talking out your ass", (and thus dub yourself the topical llama) then do everyone a favor and shut up on the matter.

The gist of his his argument is "I am a fucking retard and you should give me what I want bitch now bend the fuck over."
zircon Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 This thread is stupid. Nicholstein, I'm giving you a warning for basically being a troll/spammer. Most of your posts here are pretty bad. Think before you write.
