Piratebay (Page 3 of 8)

I hope so too its a swiss company
Btw, don't artists live for free in europe ??

no but they get free chocolate

fuckin yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

its a fuckin free for all
I download because I have to.
Back in the day, to dub a tape was the same thing but nobody I knew looked at it like we do now, with artist getting ripped off and shit. artist have always gotten ripped off. I have abandon the notion of making any real rockstar type of money off of the music I create.

sellin blank cds should be just as illegal!
aint all this technology just fucking beautiful?

ime on the other side of the planet with little money to spend on records but dammit I stay current and I spin some dope shit! I spend $600 USD a YEAR (that aint shit!) on records and I feel like I am behind.

some artist that I originally downloaded I now buy there stuff because I was able to hear them

lets go back to the old days when it was a fucking guessing game what jammed and what didnt because shit was wrapped in plastic. that way even if it sucked and you bought a fucking lemon everybody was happy because you payed for it.

i will keep downloading till they come pry the damn keyboard "from my cold dead hands."

where there is a will there is a way!

yes, we do

we don't work, we philosophize the whole day

we walk around in our beautiful gardens with a mild sun on our heads and think about the future of the fine arts, music and the state of humanity in general

in the afternoon we sit down and drink fine wine from our fine vineyards while we contemplate some more on the human nature, the solar system and the universe in general

yeah, you've got to know your way around here, but as soon as you've found the Secret Gardens Of Eternal Pleasure in Rotterdam, you'll never want to leave

you're right, I forgot

they've become a routine...

I don't know which planet you live but over here on earth unless you happen to get a grant from the state (unlikely in the case of 'electronic music') you're as good as unemployed in the eyes of the bureacracy. That means living way under 1000 euros a month (considered as the poverty line.) Since you're unemployed you don't collect pension money from your income but you can seek for an artist pension grant from the state if you're distinguished enough (again highly unlikely in the case of 'electronic music'.)

So the bottom line in Finland is, play ball and get a grant or fuck off and die.

im an artis paintert, i aint sold a painting in 5 years, boooh!
i was either on the dole in the uk while painting, seling one painting a year, not having enough money for a loaf of bread or a pint of milk.
Then i had  to work in cocktail bars but then i had no time atall to paint or even want too, i got all creativity sucked out of me.
I tried new deal in the uk too for musicians, haha that was funny i got an extra 10 pound a week or something and had to travel to london all the time for meetings with a new deal music adviser, what a load of crap that was.

Now this -

Hahahar so errr Goooogle?!!

been following the pirate bay issue a bit. surely, they are a bunch of cheeky bastards, but hey, it's just another piece of the reality check puzzle for the major labels, film studios and software companies. if the pirate bay gets conquered there'll be something else. they can't reverse or cripple technological and social advance to such an extent (also geographical extent) to make online "piracy" just go away. it's an unwinnable war.

? now I'm puzzled ?

what do you mean exactly?

@ cebteq: you mean this question?

it wasn't sarcastic, I didn't exactly get what Biotek meant or who he was referring to

probably you, but I'm not sure

oh, and the Secret Gardens Of Eternal Pleasure really do exist in Rotterdam
