Hi everyone!
The other day i was searching for HTM using KaZaA, and to my surprise i found alot of Happy MP3´s, almost the whole Death´s Crown CD and most of the tunes from Crafty Hands. >:(

Well, personally i dont think its the right thing to put out and share all those HTM tunes on the web.
I know the guys aint going to earn the big bucks in this rotten hit factory that is called music business. All this sharing on KaZaA or whatever wont help them to be richer, thats what i think. If we want HTM to continue composing crafty music in the future, i believe it would be smart to let the guys earn something of all their hard work by NOT sharing MP3´s on the web.

Any thoughts about this are most welcome!

I agree whole heartedly, but the music industry needs to evolve the experience of listening to music beyond MP3. Personally, I think MP3's sound like crap, but so do the sound systems of a lot of main stream venues where people listen to live music. The movie theatre industry got a scare from video and home theatre, and created the new stadium seating theatre experience. Why don't bands take advantage of the stadium theatre and make concert films. Or even better go to IMAX like the Rolling Stones. Gotta create a product which makes money and can't be given out free like MP3s.

Good point, F22flueuy$%&... sorry, I can't pronounce that...

Besides, that mp3 sharing is in fact a very good promotion for the guys' music...

Listening a very old bootleg tape recording of the Arista records made me a HTM fan and now I own all the albums except "Crafty Hands"...

I see MP3 as nowadays' old bootleg tape recordings!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Its nice to see you around Hector!
I agree to a point that mp3 sharing can function as promotion, but i was upset about that some "fan" was sharing 90% of the Deaths Crown and the same with Crafty Hands. Promotion is a few songs, a teaser, not sharing the entire cd.
Those who are in the pop music business and aims for the charts are earning millions, they can and do survive the sharing of entire cds, but HtM and the likes that are true artists are hard working people who struggle for the stuff they believe in from their heart, to steal from them, the true artists is really wicked i think.
Alot of people around the world have never ever bought a cd on a record store, because they burn it, they have their burned cd selection, thats really true!

Cheers

Happy The New Year!!!

Very nice quote... but I was talking about quotes like "Happy the man who...". For example:

"Happy the man who receiveth knowledge... blessed the man who understandeth".

That one was in Morgan Roussel's website.
