pirating well it's it's obvious it's destroying the industry who
it's destroying
musicians livelihood. everybody does it, at least younger people tend to
be the ones doing it. to me this a lot of music and when there's too much of a
product of any kind of price goes down right now it's almost at zero or at zero
if something was rare and hard to obtain that's when the price goes up and the
problem is all i remember years ago I i saw this coming in the late eighties in
Los Angeles where I live
Richard Branson opened up big shop on one of the main streets in Los Angeles
virgin megastore and he even came down from a helicopter in a crazy guy an
inner it was a big deal when the shop opened it was the biggest record store
video everything just multimedia shop huge was like am all by itself and I'll
never forget the first time I walked inside that shop I walked in and I
practically fell on my knees I went how is it possible for anyone to find my
album here it's just it was overwhelming there were literally millions of records
in there so then I thought there's just too much pussy too much music and and
people find it very hard to differentiate between what's good and
what's not
if they're not musicians they you know artists subjective so
people will they like something they don't like something that's all there is
to it and so I thought the future is very grim
i'm going to try an experiment online on my next album with internet being so
available everywhere my next release this next album working on will not be
available on any of the traditional sources i'm not going to make a CD so we
can't copy the CD i'm going to make it like a funnel web site where you have to
put your email address in and then you have your choice to buy i'll have some
examples some little but streaming only just like a radio service that most in a
spotify and all these other people provide Spotify pays one hundred
thousand of a cent per play which is an absurd the whole thing is a to me is a
complete farce
it's a debacle it's disgrace what services like that
hey the artists it's insufferable so I say screw them and I want to make my
product rare right for the same reason i said before something is rare it makes
it valuable
so I don't want to be distributed on all the Apple where everybody else is making
money except honest and to me it's like putting the cart before the horse
without the artists there is no music right and I consider my music valuable
as most artists do so you can see I'm very passionate about this so I want to
make a website where it's the only source for this music and it's streaming
only like the streaming services but i will add content such as
behind-the-scenes video
maybe some outtakes that kind of stuff to entice people to buy the record and
support the artist but it'll be the only place for as long as it's the only place
but if it's streaming only at least people can't download it and i'll make
it as secure as possible
you know the the software companies are doing the same thing the whole idea that
we have the cloud is because software companies don't want to produce their
DVD product anymore because people copied so now companies big software
companies are saying enough of this will give people first small amount of money
they can have access to keep your own files but you have access to the actual
software on the cloud so you can't ever owned and in general people don't want
to own the music they don't want a stack of cds or LLP's like our generation
is just one access so i want to provide access easy access for my next record
and make my website for this album the only source for the record so I'm going
to try that as an experiment and we'll see what happens
