And by the way, of course u can't enter a museum and get something for free. Why, whats the difference?? Simple, it's impossible to make a perfect copy of it for free, c ya. |

I think you got the idea behind open-source a bit wrong, or you are just making a very dumb comparasion.
Some of the best paid developers is working on free software.
It's not like stealing a painting to use linux.
For the ones of you who have at least a basic clue about the opensource philosophy though I think that it's quite obvious that the trance scene have a good oppotunity to work in a similar way.
It's a lot of parties and demand for live acts.
If you get a good spread of the music I think the possibilities of getting bookings should increase from that.
For most artists CD sales is anyway hardly generating income, so why bother to be restrictive about the licensing if the licenses is not really what you earn money from?
The software industry have exactly the same issues about downloading illegal copies.
But they seem to be a bit more cleaver and corageous in their thinkning than many in the trance scene and figured that if they get the maximum spread of their software by making it free there is still other ways they can make money from it.
That idea has proven to often work very well, and I agree with B_PM_ and Lucius that a bit less Bill Gates and a bit more Linux would not only be nice for the scene, but could work out ok financially as well.
Sure label owners and artists will not all get rich from it, but then thats not the case now either.

Now that Van Gogh has been dragged into this
who actually was a legitimized fool to some.
Its intresting to note that he did not earn his living from his art.He wanted his art to be "shared" among all.
After his death his work was discovered by the Art Industry. They hyped him, prices went skyhigh. And some lucky millionare could now buy one of his paintings to be displayed in his own living room, only to be seen by a few.
So the whole idea that a museum is buying the painting back to the people is a good idea to me.
No I would not steal a Van Gogh from the museum since it would be like stealing from myself. And why should I since the digital representation of the complete works of Vincents art is availible from the Van Gogh museum site.
All free to download
Unless I would like to have higher resolution images then I can by a cd..
Many museums and librarys are displaying their art on the net...
Untill everything is free,no one is free...
""How rich art is; if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never without food for thought or truly lonely, never alone.""
Vincent van Gogh
