If yo...Does any copyright owner really get it, yet? If you aren't being downloaded on the internet (for free), then you're already nobody! Nothing ASCAP or BMI has done, or will do, is ever going to increase the frequency or the amount of your next royalty check. When a person who lives in their car already can't buy food, what good is depriving them of your music, when it really the only meal they may get today? Any artist that would do so has already cut his own throat! And if I cannot sink home the point, then start researching the amount of royalties and residuals that are still in the mail. Remember, non-artists run the industry!

It had occurred to me that if Blogger ever took TOMH down, I would like to have a backup of all my writing - if nothing else. Now I do.<br /><br />Thanks again.YankeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077959975128794185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-46464430725310471982010-11-18T17:03:56.037-05:002010-11-18T17:03:56.037-05:00One thing, after having my entire blog deleated wi...One thing, after having my entire blog deleated without warning, I was lucky in that I had backed the whole thing up, using the ''Export Blog' facility in bloggers settings to get an XML Document. It's then very straight forward to start another blog and import everything in, in just a couple of minutes!. This is what I did, although I've now gone the private route. So don't think blogger will warn you first - they don't. Get that back up done!!brianbrorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613502494587378202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-13645492671614837062010-11-12T20:28:48.342-05:002010-11-12T20:28:48.342-05:00At this point I really don't want to do the pr...At this point I really don't want to do the private blog thing as the whole point of this is to turn as many people on as possible to some cool music they might be unaware of or have forgotten.YankeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077959975128794185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-83797646928682402952010-11-12T19:35:42.217-05:002010-11-12T19:35:42.217-05:00Hi Yankee Boy, Sorry to hear about your problems w...Hi Yankee Boy, Sorry to hear about your problems with the suits. Sometimes when obscure selections are involved, I wonder if the complaints are really coming from the record companies/performers or have actually been made by unstable or trouble making readers. It's really unfair that they don't supply information about the offending cut. Maybe it's time to start collecting email addresses from your most loyal and regular fans, just in case you decide to go private with your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-57539446840416157292010-11-05T14:09:50.997-04:002010-11-05T14:09:50.997-04:00Sorry to read of your troubles.

It makes me glad that I'm low-tech (because I'm too inept to know who to link my songs to a blog using some sort of player)and just post YouTube clips/lins for folks to hear the songs I'm raving about....Wilthomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310808241428717740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-70210563366697960002010-11-04T23:29:10.500-04:002010-11-04T23:29:10.500-04:00Thanks Glenn.

What happened is that blogger took down my last post because someone (presumably a copyright owner of one of the songs I had posted) complained. Which they have a right to do. <br /><br />I can't fault Blogspot for taking down the post. Legally I believe it is what they are required by law to do. I don't think that Wordpress is much different in that regard. Like I said, the only thing that bothers me is that I still don't know what song it was that caused this headache.<br /><br />Until this happens again I am planning to continue. I honestly believe that blogs like this one and "Born In Tyme" do a service for both musicians and their fans by presenting the music in different and (hopefully) interesting contexts. So unless this becomes a regular problem I'm not going anywhere.YankeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077959975128794185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-83013343038822693032010-11-04T08:09:15.028-04:002010-11-04T08:09:15.028-04:00First off, happy happy birthday!

I never even heard the term and I guess I've been lucky. I'm still not clear though - is your site going to be taken down or are you unsure? What a goddamn injustice.<br /><br />I never had a complaint but I realize now that it could just as easily happen to me. I hear about other bloggers moving to wordpress for this reason.

I got a takedown notice last year on If I Only Had Time and there was absolutely no information about the LP I had posted. Beach Party 4.<br /><br />I am convinced that such takedown notices are driven by search engines and spiders not real people combing blogs for stuff to object to.nlgbbbblthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226087056599050112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-58106419429773151512010-11-01T21:45:31.666-04:002010-11-01T21:45:31.666-04:00Dude, no offense, but democrats have been in charg...Dude, no offense, but democrats have been in charge of congress since 2006. Since then, the deficit has grown 400% and unemployment has doubled! It's not at all better now. And, despite their handling of the economy, the number 1 reason that people are voting against the dems is the govt takeover of healthcare they passed in extreme non-transparency and non-bi-partisanship.<br />like your songs though. thanks.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-14176294820877373672010-11-01T12:31:14.897-04:002010-11-01T12:31:14.897-04:00Oh, I also believe that Bill Evans, also very youn...Oh, I also believe that Bill Evans, also very young, is on East Coasting by Charles Mingus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181823195107391049.post-89791401619307945322010-11-01T12:27:18.634-04:002010-11-01T12:27:18.634-04:00The Big Maybelle track was produced by a very youn...The Big Maybelle track was produced by a very young Quincy Jones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
