Onhwy61, I don't think you're reading at all all. I didn't ask for any money. |
Notec, Bootlegging(or building your own unofficial releases) of the real live concerts is more profitable.
There's lots of headroom for creativity even now on who to bootleg for best profits. |
if bad comes to worst, why not divorce? |
It's very easy to list them on discogs. Will take approx few hours since you don't have to supply any pictures of your own.
Just make sure you're listing proper release.
CDs now not easily sold unless your asking price is darn low low. So far my sales from the store 1CD per few hundreds of records and same is online. |
Lowrider57, Is it the honor system, such as it's assumed that the original owner has not kept a copy for himself It does not and cannot happen in real world(Earth). You can't control seller from copying material one wants to sell(and still want to listen). One who just want to listen to music has a right to be happy with burned CD or recorded cassette for PERSONAL use. That is considred to be legal anywhere you go. The reason I started selling records was not for profit, but to listen to lots of music and almost free. I would pick up the record, record it onto cassette and kept the record till I wanted to purchase different one playing just a cassette after the record was opened and recorded. Occasionally I managed to profit and save funds for more new music. I did not grow up with wealthy parents so I had to keep my allowances tight-tight. Slowly-slowly I became popular at street lots and started selling records for profit realizing that I'm making my living. |
Swampwalker,
Thanks for your deep expertise in show biz laws.
Slap my wrists ouch!!!
It was very entertaining! |
Onhwy61, Swampwalker, apologise if sarcazm bites your nerve tissues, but I was NOT confronted by truth but rather dogma. Dig difference? bellow notes from wiki for your future reference: Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.[1] It serves as part of the primary basis of an ideology or belief system, and it cannot be changed or discarded without affecting the very system's paradigm, or the ideology itself. The term can refer to acceptable opinions of philosophers or philosophical schools, public decrees, religion, or issued decisions of political authorities.[2]
The term derives from Greek δόγμα "that which seems to one, opinion or belief"[3] and that from δοκέω (dokeo), "to think, to suppose, to imagine".
Let me know if you need to know other life examples of other common dogmas if curious. |
Onhwy61, Now, who's immature after all LOL!!??
Please refer to definition of irrelevance indeed -- enhance your vocabulary and mindpower. Never late to learn.
You can copy/rip at my house ANYTHING even my silhouette behind the shower curtain and I won't ask a single dime and certainly wouldn't care about whatcha gonna do next with copied material. Your arz isn't mine that's going to be lashed quite hard after all all.
Then everybody will or won't be happy regardless indeed, and who cares if or not. |
I just found bunch of cassette tapes with recorded material from CDs and LPs recently... I also just found bunch of CDRs with different recorded material... That's immoral, unethical and illegal. Right? Possession of illegal substance or weapon surely has public information about rules, regulation, sentences and possible verdicts. Go anywhere and you'll get bunch of sources to read from and know. Possession of recorded media material does NOT have any public information about rules, regulations etc. I only found dogmas so far. So where are the articles and public laws or links to there? Unless there's no proof, it's only dogma. Unless, of course, you are unlucky enough that the RIAA decides to make an example of you and sue you for every penny you're worth, the chances of getting caught are pretty slim. But to argue that this practice is anything but illegal, immoral and unethical is simply a self-serving rationalization.

Rel Does RIAA have hands long enough to reach outside USA? Why RIAA? |
Didn't care much about those smallish neuances about getting rid of material you've once recorded and than either lost or sold a copy. The place where I started selling media did not have any RIAA so I could keep and enjoy the copies I've made either on R2R or cassette and have no worries about 5 years in jail +$250k in fines WHEW!.
I don't have to even think about it because the digital material I have either will be supported by analogue copy or CD. My store has MY records and CDs and as soon as I'm sold out of the LAST copy, I'll delete it.
Figure out my personal collection is near 10,000 vinyls, 1300 CDs and 2TB of hi-rez digital downloads. The store has over 30,000 records and CDs.
Not all recordings on the media or on the digital downloads belong to artist did you know that? Most of it belongs to record companies, the pimps! Stealing from those who steal I don't thing is immoral or unethical and only sentence that protects the pimps can stop ya from doin' that.
Alas from audiophiles, who mostly listen to their rig, I support artists by attending their live shows, joining the fan clubs, promoting new artists, booking venues and booking bands. |
number of copies given to friends increase the chance of artist booking larger venue and retreiving larger profits from performances. it also give light bites to the recording companies-pimps profits. them are mostly interested in copyright laws, not artists. they even block artists from performing songs that they've aquired copyrights from(Fogerty as an example).
read notes on wiki about Lother album of Frank Zappa who prepared crowd to turn their tape recorders onto the radio and record his commercial free album completely FREE. all artists want YOU to hear them regardless of the contracts with pimps.
so who by definition supports artists???
RIAA? Columbia label? RCA label? ...or maybe audiophile crowd testing how this or that particular recording sounds? WRONG PICK! WRONG DIRECTION! TADAM!
listening to recorded cassette or CDR in your auto, office or home regardless weather you have or haven't an authorized purchased copy is NOT immoral or unethical. it's rather stoopid to tink dat way.
it seems that if the law tells ya ta bend over and relax yer hips, ye'r gonna b ready 100% to accept a footlong penatration while i'm ready to rise my middle finger instead and blow cigar smoke right to the face and after spit through the teeth(burp)! |
For OOP CDs it doesn't matter at all.
They're not generating an income neither for record companies nor for artists. They're only in the used collectible market. Feel absolutely free to copy and then sell as long as you don't share/sell your files.
Make sense?
For other than OOP, care only about Audiogon Police Department LOL! |
Dude, I'm really having a trouble selling a black cube painting recently done for art museum for half price you were going to ask for yo's! |
Rel, you've omitted option of non-existing digital download for out-of-print copies. whatchagonnado in that case?? |
