Cool! Another entry! About the royalties and all that stuff: Do we really have to care about that? We're just a small bunch of people playing around with some songs. It's like if one day we all meet and tape the recorded songs into some CD's and we all take them home. We can even say that the CD's are for backup purposes, and even say that listening to the songs is violating some kind of royalty law. Therefore, each of us would get a "backup" CD, and each of us would be breaking some minor law at home, enjoying the tribute. :) - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

If you're releasing it as CD you have to pay a certain amount of money to the GEMA (that's what this corporation is called here in Germany...) and everyone's happy. But what about MP3's? Any ideas?

(ie. "Hey everybody check out this link to hear my cover of one of Lisa's songs")?? All of this other static (20-25 emails a day minimum) is really depressing and not getting anywhere. And furthermore the point of the list, from my understanding, is not to put out cds - a valiant effort which I applaud - but to exchange info on Lisa that would otherwise be hard to come by so kindly email in the future if you have info on Lisa albums, tours, or Eels tours etc. But I think it's time for a back-to-basics focus for the sake of sanity. Does that sound good to anyone? I hope so. |--- Original Message --- |From: nevermor@mhonline.net |To: sycophant@smoe.org |Date: 3/2/00 9:27:56 PM | |as far as I know the tribute cd is over.
