Por Federico Poore Ante todo, una breve declaración de principios. Tanto la ley como nosotros deberíamos esforzarnos más por distinguir entre compartir música y películas, por un lado, y lucrar con el filesharing , por otro. Compartir películas y discos, en tanto no persiga el lucro, debería estar despenalizado . Punto. El bien común por encima del derecho de propiedad. No es "lo mismo" un pibe que comparte una película en BitComet que el videoclub que alquila películas truchas: este último está violando la ley. Este parece ser el caso de [...]
Girl Talk (Greg Gillis) When discussing the best mash-up artists, Girl Talk is widely considered the King of Kings. Girl Talk, also known as Greg Gillis, is the best there is. The album Feed The Animals is a big favorite of ours here at inALLcaps.com. It's over 54 minutes of mash-up madness and got played hundreds of times on road trips, pre-party warm ups, and of course was on the playlist of countless trips to the gym. [...]

Dear Frontier Psychiatrist, What can you copyright in music, anyway? There are only so many notes and so many chords one can use in Western Music. You can't copyright the 12-bar blues. Or a I-IV-V progression. Or can you? What about artists like Sufjan Stevens who "borrow" lyrics? Or hip-hop artists who use samples? -Need an Attorney for This Journey Dear Need, Properly speaking, this is not a question for a physician; I gave my best effort to research the topic as thoroughly as possible. Sadly, as I [...]

The non-music media loves to write about mash-ups, because it allows them to talk about the niche concern of pop music without much discussing music at all. Because mash-up artists use existing songs, journalists trade the difficulty of understanding new artists for reliable classics. They can talk about all the non-musical aspects of music—MP3s, piracy, copyright, major labels, downloading, iPods, etc—and they don't look like the kind of old fuddy-duddies who champion bands that sound like the bands they themselves loved when they were young, such as Dr. Dog and Wilco.

Well here we all are. 2008 is just about wrapped up. Throw this shit in a box and Fed Ex it priority overnight already! I'm not saying 2008 completely sucked, but it wasn't something I would gladly repeat. And I think this reflected greatly with this years music. It seemed as if everyone had to come to terms with some sort of reality they did not feel like they were ready for yet this past year. A lot of us tried in vain to repeat the warmer, crazy, carefree times of last year. And a lot of this [...]
