Comments on: #78 No more bullshit. The top 10 lamest excuses for stealing artists music http://300songs.com/2012/01/21/78-no-more-bullshit-the-top-10-lamest-excuses-for-stealing-artists-music/ A song by song history of Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:37:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Mark Kregel http://300songs.com/2012/01/21/78-no-more-bullshit-the-top-10-lamest-excuses-for-stealing-artists-music/#comment-2336 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:37:49 +0000 http://300songs.com/?p=2607#comment-2336 Actually, “In the middle ages there were no music sales. It was all based on live performance.” is BS. A minstrel would come around and sing, then, after the song, he or an assistant would come around and ask for money. Just like not paying the guy who hands you peanuts at a ball game is bad form, so was not paying the minstrel.

I was gonna send him the link to your post from that, because he’s a Henry Rollins type roadie with a heart of gold, but having problems understanding the locals. Could you please repost?

Although I see the value in studying the military role in war on drugs and it’s not really been told.

yeah thanks for loaning me your weapons. next time you lose an album write us and we can email you a free download link.

Cracker was awesome on Victory Base Camp. I knew I should have locked that thing up. Second, I just repurchased Key Lime Pie for the 3rd time, download from I-tunes, last night. I won’t ever steal your music, brother. Second question, if you had to write a thesis and the subject was either the military role in the “war on drugs”, or the Soviet Afghan war, which would you pick? I’m leaning one way, but what do you say??

It’s really quite simple. If filesharing sites equitably shared their revenue we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Why are you against artists getting paid?
