I Get Mine Online

First off I had some pics I was going to post from the weekend but it seemed to slip my mind. I was out to visit Arcterex, and take care of some business in Abby on Saturday and snapped these pictures of clouds. They were doing these sort of skid marks in the sky( not that kind ! ! ), that looked pretty neat. I even got one of the sun behind a section of cloud with a neat halo effect. Something where the naked eye would get burned on by the attempt. So enjoy or bear with them as I go on here.

I too get mine online, ehm, my music that is. I have to agree with some of my friends recent posts on this issue, and I am thankful for usenet this point. I have been collecting the odd album that I legitimately own on LP in storage, as well as collecting many others that I own on cassette, both formats I really have no use for anymore, and I don't feel like paying twice. My beef is just this, if you paid a painter to paint you a piece of art, would you need to re-pay for it if you hung it in another room? No way ! I guess it could also be put the opposite way: if you paid an artist to paint you some artwork on your car would you have to re-pay them to put it on your new car if you sold the old one? In this case I guess so. (Note: I have never been good with analogies, but I think you get the gist).

I really think that the music industry needs to come around and agree to some sort of compromise instead of either supplying us with more tariffs, taxes, surcharges, or bogus online formats. Of course not to mention the price of the product.

Anyway I thought I would throw in my 2 bits, since I have acquired a few things online as well (mp3s mostly). Today was spent working on some graphics, and such, I was supposed to go golfing at 7:12am, but didn't sleep well last night so I cancelled. I sure am grateful to be in possession of an air conditioner though, it is damn hot. Tonight I continue to work, while it is cooler.
