commented on a project updateSadly, piracy is built in the system. Whatever the motivation, the desire to share is an understandable, human urge. It is poor laws and too many legal disputes that are in the way of progress. In terms of public awareness campaigns, pay-per-play compensation for creators or negotiating that artists receive any percentage of targeted ad revenue that comes in from fans accessing their own content is hard to find in this erratic sorta "free grab for all" model developed decades ago on Netscape Navigator. I think that indie labels, esp the digital platforms, now want to "trim the fat" from the big two labels and demand people raking in advertising or file sharing profits negotiate for a system that will better sustain an artist's career over the long term. The twisted part is that the whole aim of the artist is to get their music Heard and Enjoyed, gaining worldwide distribution. Ugh, I'm confused!?! And I don't know what it's called "pirating" anyway, sounds like a glorification of illegal sharing. They should really just call it something less glamourous, cause it's these gosh darn kids that are probably doing most of it anyway! We should track their IPs and put them in Digital Detention ... forever!!! You hear that??? Now stop downloading illegally or the government will come after YOU with the patriot act and throw ya in a pit of despair for not thinking before you share!

commented on a projectHave you guys given any thought to offering the privilege of naming the album or selecting the cover art for the forthcoming "New Full Length" as a super reward? People always consider doing things to promote a product/brand, or maybe fans would find it entertaining to choose an image to project on the cover? ;-D Well, its a thought anyway. Good to hear your singer recovered from that freak pillow incident ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVnB_thTqKQ

commented on a projectC'mon guys, we can do it! Kickstarter has an "all or nothing" rule, which means that the band needs $400 in the next 36 hours to get that rock n' roll on the road. We're down to the wire and need your support. Share the link with friends and consider a donation to these fabulous females!
