Muxtape - My 2 cents...
Since Muxtape went live I have been following it closely. I do not use it because I rarely listen to music. I had my music quota a long time ago and I hate earphones, mp3 players and so on. I had been a professional musician for a significant part of my life and I recorded albums, played for other bands albums and I do not feel comfortable due to my backgrounds uploading and downloading music. That is personal and I am not judging nobody.
Anyway, Muxtape is a very interesting app and seems got a lot of attention. It a very cozy thing, if that might be said in this case.
The music industry is something I had a brief contact with and it is very overwhelming. Tough to understand and cope with but there are millions of people living under its roof. Many of my friends are musicians, they have bands that used to sell hundreds of thousands to millions of albums and they are all quite unsettled with the current state of things compared with how things were years ago.
It may sound naive, or fantasy or day dreaming or whatever but I really hope that out of this RIAA versus MUXTAPE affair something constructive and positive would raise instead of just more litigation and aggravation. I think people at Muxtape represents a new generation that is taking over the webspace, they must be reasonable people and they must have positive things to say and surely are opened to listen. RIAA surely represents a lot of interests (friends of mine among them and even me because I have copyrighted songs) and cannot just let things happen and take no action but gets to a time when other paths must be considered to move things to the next level. I dreamed about RIAA and MUXTAPE getting to a positive agreement and premiering a new era music for the webspace. Good luck for you guys.
