I've always loved that one!
Too late for my boy. He's 24 and somehow got hooked on Duran Duran early on - I think I played some CDs in the car on trips. He just saw them again in concert for something like the 3rd or 4th time.
Yea, the IP laws suck.Doesn’t matter if you bought the original second-hand or what you paid - the license follows the original disc. Should be obvious why that is.

They also get paid every time a song is played on radio, streamed, whatever.So you think people should be able to pass around a disc with everyone making a copy of it with no compensation to the rights holder? Would you think it fair were it your work that was being copied?
So you get to decide when an artist stops getting paid for their work? You decide when they’ve got enough, when their IP should now be given away/sold with no recompense to the creator?They also get paid every time a song is played on radio, streamed, whatever.
I don't get paid every time you start a car or motorcycle I've sold or repaired either.
The majority of artists in my collection are now very rich.
I sure as hell ain't.
Name me another profession that gets paid over and over again for work completed years or decades earlier?So you get to decide when an artist stops getting paid for their work? You decide when they’ve got enough, when their IP should now be given away/sold with no recompense to the creator?
It is not comparable,Name me another profession that gets paid over and over again for work completed years or decades earlier?
99.99% of the people in this world gets paid once for the work completed in that pay period.
What make performers so damn special?
A matter of opinion.It is not comparable,
A tablet is tangible, and a lot less expensive than a vinyl collection. I'm not sick of streaming. If some people are sick of streaming, is there a sensible reason for this? The Incas had a ritual of sacrificing people. So what's so good about ritual? You need to ask if the ritual makes sense in a wider context. I do still play the CDs I obtained before streaming, although the vinyl has all gone, and isn't missed. If my CD player dies I'll probaby not bother replacing it, but just stream instead. I'll keep the CDs as decorations & sources of information. (Streaming companies should provide a lot more information! Starting with everything in the CD booklet...)Physical media has substance. It's tangible. It's real. You can hold it. I think some people are sick of streaming. There is something to say for the vinyl experience. Not quality, but ritual.
The problem is the artist, producer, record company, etc - do not get compensated at all when the recording is resold, given away, or copied once multiple people end up with the music. The IP laws are there to discourage more than one license per person. You may disagree with the nature of the IP laws, but that does not change whether or not a violation has occurred. Not judging you here, just stating the obvious.A matter of opinion.
I've been to around a dozen large venue concerts this year and paid them well for the ticket.
I've went to a larger number of smaller performances in lounges, etc and happily paid the cover.
But if you make a record and sell me a CD or whatever and I also gladly pay you for that too, but then expect you still own that for forever anyway, your sadly mistaken. If you want to get paid again, create something new to sell, or get off your ass and do a live performance.
The IP laws are total BS and only fair to the performer, they've been on a gravy chain way too long while the public got screwed.
JMHO
Agree, but I was also really excited about SACD, DVD-A, and Blueray. I skipped on MQA (is that still around?) and decided to wait if Atmos really has a different faith than the other highres formats.There's some truth to that but things are improving.
Witness the explosion of high quality multich and Atmos recordings being done by the younger bands along with remasters to improve on some of the horrid things done for a couple decades prior.
This more a point for a physical medium. You can do it with CD but the "record spinning" is more visible with records.Why must music be full of noise and distortion to teach kids the value of music?
Thank you. Any album you would recommend?Try listening to music mastered by Steven Wilson for one,
No cheap shots needed. Pretty please and thanks.DR is as good if not better than anything ever pressed on a hockey puck.
And it can be had in 2, 5, 7 ch or Atmos
If your a classical guy, try some 2L recordings.
If I pass by one of my favorite artists living in a cardboard box, I'll slip them a Jackson.So you think people should be able to pass around a disc with everyone making a copy of it with no compensation to the rights holder? Would you think it fair were it your work that was being copied?
Not me.
I seek as "black a background" as I can get for vinyl (or anything else). The more background noise I can hear the more it tends to "blanch" tonality.
…
Some albums I have are quiet enough I can't hear anything between the tracks from my listening position.
