as you all have probably heard, most music sharing programs are getting screwed over because of the government and what not, i was thinking maybe if harvey could make something like that were just members of ns could share music. maybe not a good idea, it would probably be just like kazaa or something, i just think it would be cool if you could get it to work, but it more then likely wouldnt, what does everybody else think?

just get a huge NS ftp up, and have someone else pay for it. Or charge people like 1 dollar a month to use it, it will pay for itself

The dumbest idea ever....how do you think file sharing programs are getting shut down, but NS will be able to frolic around care-free.

Well, its a sure, quick way to have Harvey's business thrown down the drain.

Just read the first half of the first message.. paraphrased:
Everyone who is doing this is getting sued, hey you guys should do it.

I agree it'd be sick, but it's not going to happen.

Just set up an IRC or soulseek room, then everyone cruise over to there. Possibly an ad on the front page declaring the UNOFFICIAL Newscho*lers music room.

Irc channel or a direct connect hub.. ( Direct Connect ) That is really sweet too. NS can't sponsor it or take any part in it for legal reasons obviously, BUT, there is nothing saying that a thread cant be posted with info about it and the settings.. Look into it guys. (not harvey.)

You can all hate me for this, but i use kazaa....


Maybe not a music sharing thing, but maybe like a member supported list of the top hits that skiers are listening to. So you can like vote your favorite ride song up or something and people can see what records or songs are good to buy or download.

by charging $20 for an album is stealing. The album costs about 50 cent to make. its greedy bands who take more than its worth. music sharing is just file sharing and its the way thigns are going. no matter whatr ecord companies do there will always be file sharing. period. its what the inter net was invented for.

^exactly, and even though its a bad idea to do it over NS, I still think we have a right to share music. Like you said, each album costs a quarter to make, if that. Sure there was time involved in making the music, but if they only sell 1000 albums at 20 dollars they are making a profit. Think about the money in 1 million albums, thats 2 billion dollars for 250,000 dollars worth of plastic. Its basically stealing

Less than 10% of all albums released are profitable. </random fact>

Greedy bands aren't the problem, it's the labels. Approximately $1 from every CD a band makes goes to them, the rest pays for packaging, production(not much...50 cents or so) and some other random shit. Most of it goes to a record label's bank account, straight under the 'profit' heading...

From NoFX's FAQ..

Hi. I've just bought your latest album, Pump up the Valium, and it totally kicks ass. I've seen the album in mp3 on the internet, but I figured the legends deserve my support. This leads to my question: I pay about $27 for your album. How much do you get paid for a sold copy?

I can't tell you exactly, cuz our contract with Epitaph is between us and them. I can tell you that out of the $7.25 (or so)wholesale price Nofx gets a lot of it. Sorry you had to pay $27. Ya know, you can get it directly from us for like $10. Thanx very much for your support, all those free downloads really hurt record sales.



Just a little food for thought seeing as most bands are not on those money grabbing major labels..
