Now HERE'S a subject worthy of our group. I prefer front to back.

Nahh, just keep pulling the paper between your legs till its clean...

Believe me, the day there is no longer big money to be
made in music
distribution, the only sound you'll hear will be a faint
"pop" as the
big boys pull out of the market.

The sooner the big boys get out of it, the better off
musicians will be!

The big boys are just middle men lining their pockets off
the efforts of poor artists.

With the technology these days to produce recordings rather
cheaply and distribution thru the internet, who really needs
the big boys?

Radio stations will play what ever catches on and gets them
ratings,
they don't need the big boys to introduce the music! :-)

more from the 'Kurt Hamster school' of uk.rec.audio-ism:


But in practice it is almost impossible to achieve without using the
big boys for distribution.


How about BitTorrent? Of course then you can't easily charge for it, but I
recon an in-demand musician could live perfectly well from live events. If
you ask me the end of millionaire artists can only be a good thing.

Oh, you want to get RICH? :-) Carry on that way, you'll find
yourself getting a stable of artistes, employing a Marketing
Director.. .....Hey! Isn't there a market for 5 or 6 pretty kids to
do dance moves while pretending to sing a bit of happy-pop? Hold on
- I'll put an advert in the "Stage"..... :-)

Just make sure the church has the appropriate licence. YOu
need a
special one to play recordings. Check with the CCLA

What, no license and the CCLA police will come along and
throw him , the church and the family in jail and levy a
fine for millions?

It's just a funeral for God's sake!

But a church will wish to keep on the right side of the law.
As do church musicians.

Oh dear! :-)

Playback of the deceased's favourite music at the funeral is pretty
universal nowadays. I'm sure the church has approached this issue.

In my experience many have not. They will almost certainly have
approached the issue of printing out copyrighted words by obtaining the
CCLA (Church Copyright Licencing Authority) but probably don't realise
that a separate licence is concerned for playing prerecorded music. It's
not a big issue but a church will want to make sure they are doing the
honest thing in such circumstances.


Now, do you recommend I wipe my arse front-to-back or the other way?
:-)

I have no recommendation on that topic.
