A surprising truth
OK, at the risk of sounding all preachy and holier-than-thou… I make this post.
As I said in a recent posting, one advantage of DJ’ing in Second Life is that I have a direct conduit to the audience, who freely IM comments, questions, and so on. While it’s sometimes difficult to spin music and stay on-top of all the text communication being thrown at me, it’s one of the parts of Second Life DJ’ing I particularly enjoy.
As I speak with fans, I continue to be surprised at the nonchalant attitude so many people have toward copying and sharing music. Starting with Napster, AudioGalaxy and others several years ago, peer-to-peer file sharing apparently has instilled a belief that all music should be free, and has no inherent value. (Please stick with me before you think I’ve gone all RIAA on you.)
