If you don't want to pay me for my work, then don't avail yourself to my labor.
No danger of that. Although if you don't want anyone to view or listen to content you create, you should probably considering not publishing it in the first place.
This is basically the reason that I stopped p2ping label music about two years ago...I believe in the long run, it's helping the copyright cartels, by providing them with a new source of revenue ("pre-settlement" shakedowns).
Since then, I've been in a full-on boycott. Don't buy, don't download, don't listen. Use free, legal alternatives. Basically, I'm for whatever kills record labels fastest...and nothing would do it faster than complete irrelevance.
What government in the history of the world was founded with the acknowledgment that its own citizens will be able to overthrow it, and in fact should do so every few years?
Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it.
If "myriad" was the Greek word for "ton," the criticism would make sense...but it's not the Greek word for ton, it's DERIVED from said word.
Why do you have to "tear down" or "self destruct" anything? If the "independent music" is that good, wouldn't they already be top of the charts anyway?
Not when the recording industry still has a stranglehold on radio airplay. This is one of the many reasons they need to go.
What the majority wants and buys is (sadly) Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and System of a Down (sample names only).
And the faster the industry is torn down, the faster that will change. The recording industry's self-destruction is the best thing that ever happened to independent music.
