In Response To Blogger Who Leak Full Albums.




OK, so yesterday......not a good day for me. I worked until just before 10 pm solving problems and fixing leaky faucets all of the internet. Yesterday was I think the first day I have EVER been ashamed to be called a blogger.

I could go into an entire diatribe about blog ethic, but I feel this is something that really doesn't need a lot of explanation:

LEAKING FULL ALBUMS IS SHITTY.

I'm not talking 1 or 2 tracks, (seriously small details I don't care to be debate abt) IM TALKING FULL RECORDS.

SHIT AINT COOL. Bloggers who leak full albums don't deserve to be called bloggers.

So in response to yesterday, I decided to start a blog ring: The Plumbers. Think of it as a simple statement against so-called bloggers who give those who actually care a bad name.

If you want to put you two cents in, leave a comment.

To begin with, it is illegal to open MP3 to the public without taking permission from the person who enjoys a right. However, because I am a fan of your blog, I do not want to criticize you.

Since I don't blog, I can't be part of said blog ring, but I'm with you in spirit!

This probably goes without saying, but I think it depends on what exactly the full albums are.

I assume because you use the word "leaking" you're talking about albums that haven't been released yet---and yeah, that's lame, although a lot of leaked stuff that I download or receive from a friend I end up buying. And a lot of that is stuff I would not have bought otherwise.

Usually, discovering new bands work like this for me:

Down a song from an mp3 blog -> download more from the band's website/myspace -> buy album from local indie store/see band live and buy it directly from them.

But sometimes it goes like this:

Download or burn an album from a friend -> Go see band live and buy it directly from them.

I don't go see bands live that I haven't heard an album (or a lot of material) by already.

And then, a lot of the mp3 blogs I visit that post full albums are posting old, rare, and hard to find stuff, usually ripped from vinyl.

Let me see if I have this straight. Take everything out of one of my bedrooms, put it on the street for everyone, and you're OK. But empty my entire house onto the curb and you're an asshole.

Isn't this a matter of degrees? What happens when no one puts out "albums" any more?

I don't think you have it straight, "blogger"...

"A piece of art is not a loaf of bread. When someone steals a loaf of bread from the store, that's it. The loaf of bread is gone. When someone downloads a piece of music, it's just data until the listener puts that music back together with their own ears, their mind, their subjective experience. How they perceive your work changes your work.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

People who look at music as commerce don't understand that. They are talking about pieces of plastic they want to sell, packages of intellectual property." - Jeff Tweedy, Wired

I don't post whole albums, but it doesn't make me offended to be a blogger, and I don't think it will kill music any more than home taping did. The FCC is investigating 77 stations for fake news; that doesn't mean every other station should feel ashamed. Every New York Times reporter isn't like Jayson Blair.

I'm far more offended by the idea that anyone could possibly spend 11 years in jail for posting music online before its official release date. I find that ridiculous, unjust, and hardly in the best interests of society, musicians, or music fans. When the government essentially allows a corporate special-interest group to write its own federal laws -- and especially when they're that extreme -- well, I mostly reserve my music-posting anger for this sort of situation, and aim it at those who I think are much more powerful and harmful than people who post albums.
