Well Dave this post very much in my "hot-button zone." I'll never forget when I first starting podcasting I had just doen my first podcast with mostly Brian Eno music(removed from circulation as fast as it went up) because I love it and am familiar with it(echoes of Doc), but to my chagrin, CC Chapman informed me of this new concept"podsafe music." I was crushed. I was expecting to take on the podcast "RSS-waves" by storm only to find out that there were legal and moral issues. My initial feelings were very similar to what Doc voiced, but after thinking it through, my podsafe music search adventure beagan. I have to say so much of the music I've found and included on my over 200 shows has been as vital and interesting as much of the major label stuff I knew and love(d). Yeah it's more of a hassle but a great feeling of accomplishment. Everytime I get a blog comment or e-mail from one of the gifted indie "unknowns" it played it warms my heart. when a listener tells me ,"hey Mark great mix and so and so is so rawkin I'm gonna buy their stuff", that makes me feel pretty damn good too. You did an excellent jonb of stating the vanity of supporting music from an industry that isn't there to serve us, just take our money,manipulate and sue us...Hmmm, I dropped Doc from my browser many moons ago, and dropped he remains.
