Hell-O

Today I gave away 20 € for charity (not music related) ;-)
My monthly income is 640 €. So I gave away a mere 3% of my income. If Bill Gates or some other wealthy person would give away 3% of his income, the world would be a much better place, wouldn't it?
Is there any chance you'll post some of these soundtracks? If so, could you please post the soundtrack of Milagro Beanfield War.If not I will have to spend the following 20 € charity-money on buying the soundtrack and some kids in Africa will die because of my avarace.
My humble excuses.

Many have covered the hit song with the famous lyric, "For once I can say "This is mine you can't take it...'"

For the many who try to steal the song, "this is mine, you can't take it" means the file is deleted, and increasingly, the blog is deleted, too. Bloggers who get obnoxious with the free downloads often find themselves without a free website to play with.

Recently visitors to various sites at wordpress and blogger have seen "violation of terms of service" where the free downloads once were or a 404 notice. The MyOpera site disgraces an offender's site with a "banned user" logo.

The noose tightens. "Mine, you can't take it." If you really find this offensive, take the lock off your front door and let people walk in and borrow anything they like. If you're not using it at the moment, what's the harm?

"What's the harm?" is what YouTube bloggers are asking. Recently Comedy Central was one of several rights owners to force YouTube (owned by Google, which also owns Blogspot) to suspend offending members and remove copyrighted TV, movie and music clips.

Why? "It's mine, you can't take it." Which should be reason enough. Or haven't you noticed "No Trespassing" signs on the lawns and fences of homes and apartments? I happen to enjoy YouTube. I like being able to find the best clips of some TV show or news show laid out for me to watch any time I want. I like being able to view music videos, too. But you know what? If it's not there for me, I understand why. It's the copyright owner trying to make a statement.

That statement is that the Internet is not "anything goes." That statement is that if YouTube wants to make a name for itself and make ad money they should do it with licensed material. That statement is: "Mine, You Can't Take It."

No, I don't like the fact that now I might not be able to get a re-run of a news item, a comedy sketch, an embarrassing celebrity malfunction or a music video when I do a YouTube search. I don't like it at all. But I respect the reason why.

It amazes me that adults need any lessons in respecting the property of others, or that it takes deletions and cease and desist requests for people to stop behaving like spoiled babies.

The irony is that the same people who scream about deletions and people standing up for their rights, would howl if it happened to them. If somebody broke into their house they'd demand to know why the cops didn't "delete" the crook or why neighbors weren't good samaritans reporting the theft.

The same bloggers who happily give away music they don't own as "sharity," will walk by a nun holding out a can for spare change for charity.

"Mine, You Can't Take It." Shouldn't an adult be ashamed not to understand that simple five-word sentence?
