[Dixielandjazz] copycats

Ahh Yes Richard:

And these are the same folks who are PRESERVING and PROMOTING OKOM.  
thru no-profit organizations, I guess since they are not interested in 
making a profit they think we should not make a profit either.

I think I prefer FREE LOVE.  it is not quite as hard a work and 
sometimes even more FUN. :))  Now I could no doubt get the entire band 
to do that kind of WORK for Free. :))

Yep we just don't get NO RESPECT:


Sadly,

   Hi all,

Four jazz club members at a recent festival bought 1 CD from me; they
reached into the pockets and purses respectively and fished out $5 
each. Of
course they were going to copy them! If you add the blank CD ink, paper 
and
jewel case you come to about $3.00. Total cost if you only burn 3 = $9,
total cost for their project $14 that means they equated the 
intellectual
property and original artwork, recording time and effort and investment 
to
$6 in total or $2 each.
Mind you, if they bothered to go to the website below regularly they 
would
find full versions of tunes of my band to copy for nothing!


regards,
Richard Stevens
