What a disappointment… the lineup started out strong; however, the second round of acts announced today are lame, with the exception of the dance tent acts.

Are we sure it's actually available to buy right now? According to the website it's not available near my zip code or online, and I also tried Manhattan in case just my part of America is behind the times with IOGEAR. Any one else seen / been able to buy one?

Today, the procedure is effortless and done in a few minutes. My son was given a local anesthetic an hour pre-surgery. Yes, during the surgery, there were two nanosecond painful moments (dad too), but following the surgery, my son was asleep as if nothing happened. I\'d like to say that I had circumcision done for three reasons: Religion, cleanliness and \"like father like son\".

IMHO, any artist looking to make a living from their art in this era must see that "the times, they are a changin'". Just as the global economy has some looking for protection, others see the "greater good". "File sharing" used to simply be making a casette tape of your buddies Pink Floyd album. Eventually, you would buy the album. A copied tape just ain't the same. It is now simply easier to do, and you've got a lot more buddies. Some will abuse it, others will find music they never would have been exposed to before AND SUPPORT IT.
Record labels themselves are an outdated notion. We don't need professional recording studios and expensive duplication/distribution methods. And artists certainly do not need to sign their lives over to companies holding this carrot in front of them. Any real artist will make their art whether they believe it will be protected or not; whether they will be "fairly" compensated for it or not.
The playing field is nearly level for all artists these days (except the radio). Fortunately for everyone, the record label promoted "talent" will no longer be the only ones that can make a living.
The record labels are no more interested in protecting the rights of their "artists" than they are about producing great music. They are interested in protecting their pseudo-talented money machines.
As the case used to be, go after those violating copyrights for monetary gain. Leave those who are simply enjoying the endless variety of art now available to them to do so. I truly believe that ultimately, good art is rewarded according to it's worth. Let the people decide.
