The list of musicians, my list of musicians I saw on Digg that have linked
a PDF
that contains a partial list of musicians who signed the manifesto against Internet music downloads, against P2P.
funny thing happens to me with the list ... I've reviewed to see what artists
-I like but not enough to buy their music
-What artists I like enough to buy their music
and I discovered the following:
- of which I do not like enough to buy their music not like me enough to bajármelos Internet, ie I can hear their music, not change the station if the place, but I do not care enough to have it, either in CD or MP3. Of these there will be 5 or 6 on the list, including Alejandro Sanz, Bunbury, Loquillo, Tow or Rosario: I have not in my MP3 player, do not listen regularly.
- of which interest me enough to buy his music, I was surprised to remember that most began to like when I had enough money to buy their records (vinyl in those days), people like Aute, Manolo García, Bose, Pedro Guerra or suspects, and what he did was to record cassette tapes from the radio or friends with more money than I did copies of their albums on tape, the old form of P2P, which the artists considered illegal, but something I did * love * his music, made to put those tapes over and over again, sometimes up to failure. And my desire has always been able, one day, buying my own records. And now, since I have my own money, I have records of them all, both vinyl and CD. I'm not saying you have ALL your records, I have some more than others, but I bought
one or more discs each , and that thanks to that in its day, "pirating" their music.
has pained me to see in the list especially Manolo García: I have all their albums, bought them when I could have done without them because they had copies on tape, CD or MP3, but his music has come to move and wanted them , although several had an excessive price.
Lately I have been interested in Vetusta Morla, I met a friend because I spent several MP3 songs (yes, I'm a pirate), but I love them and I went to several of his concerts and I have his latest album
. Yes, I bought your album and a concert shirt. Tion, were two, one for me and one for my wife. And I was delighted to not be on that list, it would be hypocritical if they did, and they owe to the Internet that people know that people go to their concert, and I think they know and so they are not. And best of all (or worse, do not know) is that many of those who signed are in the same situation: I owe part of their position, the fact that people know them, the Internet. Hypocrites and sold ...
Incidentally, the other musicians on the list, or do not know who they are, or little muyyyy interest me, or directly to an artist seems to me like a fist truño: Edurne, Labuat, Conchita, Comesaña, Vicky Larraz ....
