Should we just go back to a system of barter and trade....should we set the clock back 10,000 years....should threads like this stop popping up at kvr.....I vote yes for the latter, and no for the poll question.

[Lord Snarebottom]

I think music needs to be free (it seems like today it is) but musicians have to be paid. Who pays? The record labels who do their money with alternatives ways to do it: call it merchandising, events, publicity...I don't how a Label works, but I think this can be a solution.
Good Topic

It's less that amusing to see an idiot like yourself say "I don't [know]*sic* how a Label works", also express how it should be free and financed by alternative ways, of which the above author is also clueless, then proceeds to proclaim, "I think this can be a solution".

When I run the world i will make music free or not or whatever depending on this poll.
Or ill just sleep as much as i want and get fat...

all music is free anyway...if you have soulseek

----I say this knowing it will most likely be trashed, and I won't be replying to it, so don't bother, allow me to ruin the thrill of that for you now.
----You cannot, simply cannot, understand the value of an intellectual work until you have one in the marketplace, and it's being taken for free without your consent. There is a level of comprehension that only turns the light bulb over your head on, after you've been ripped off.
----That said, the best we can hope for in the future is fair trade, and even that seems like some kind of fair-y tale at this point in time.

You should try getting off the dole and earning your money until you have a bit more than needed for macaroni and weed - you may feel differently. What a (usual) load of sophomoric shit.

your HSG.

I was on the dole for 3 months of my life, after getting my a-levels and before getting a BSc honours degree. I am sorry that my point of view offended you.

"Medical Science is held back"...god, you just shake your head. I f**king HATE how many bone-stupid people hang out here!

Thinking of starting my own non-stupid music forum, where I'd ban shitheads like Tristan instantly,

your HSG

Can you refute any points I made? Medical science IS held back by market forces, ask any research scientist if it's easy to get a grant.

The demand for cheap medicine is huge, the supply is stunted in comparison. If you see that as idiocy, I think that is a shame.

Y yo pienso que solo un idiota como vos puede decirle idiota a otro sin saber con quien está hablando. Bobo, dejate de molestar y ponete a pensar que harías...bobo!

if i woke up in a socialistic utopia, i'd celebrate. most ppl don't want that, so i do what it takes to survive in the capitalistic environment. if i had anything worth sellin, i'd sell it. i'm not suicidal
