DMCA


Well then...

I just got a cease and desist from whoever the nameless drone is that hands out DMCA notices. (Digital Millenium Copyright Act, aka, Big Brother)

Needless to say, I have removed the offending material and going forward I will only be posting links to other sites where you can hear the music that I'm writing about. Because...you know...this is the fucking internet! You can find anything, anywhere, any time and there is nothing any nancypants DMCA official will ever be able to do about it!

But because I don't want to be sued by the lawyers of some band that I love because, namely, I don't have the money to pay if I did...I won't be uploading any more songs to my site directly.

I'll just be posting links. To other places. Where you'll be able to hear the music. Which will produce the exact same result without making me a scapegoat.

Oh, and please keep in mind going forward that I don't make a dime doing this. I write about music because I LOVE MUSIC. And I want you to love it to. But here's the catch, and any band who thinks about hiring lawyers to squash little crooks like myself should hear this, people actually have to hear the music to decide if they want to listen to it...and more importantly, go to shows and support you.

Just keep all that in mind.

Until later on,
Jeege
