Isn't it a bummer when we have to suggest force is needed for people to pay their dues to their peers for using their stuff.
Just doesn't fit into that all in together thing to me.
More like all in it for what we can screww the other bloke for to me.
I e-mailed ASCAP suggesting they should trot their frames in here for some mutual enightenment.
For those who done know, here is a bit about when ASAP got rolling and why, and by who.
Forgot something Cobber. The take the song down thing is the same, as Soundclick is a public forum and unless it is a cover that the performer has applied and paid for and been okayd to record it commercially and so has the right to shop it in any medium, it is exactly the same as performing in public as regard to copyright entitlements and resposabilities.
