I have been thinking, and if I offend I, as usually do I apologize. Many years ago, a thousand it seems, I posted a lesson called grandchester meadows, and was reprimanded deeply for it, for I broke copyright laws, for as anyone knows grandchester meadows is a beautiful song of the ummagumma l.p by pink floyd. I broke copyright laws and, in consequence, I apologized and wrote a letter to the founders of this website, and, in turn, I had my membership returned. Now, I also remember a brief stint by a brilliant member by the name of fuasto carcioni, not to be confused with the clevland indian fausto carmone, any way, I can not imagine him being a member any more for he transcribed and posted the opening of tarkus by elp which made me cry, and then he posted blues variation by the same band and me cry even more. It was the greatest lesson ever posted if I do say so myself. I love greg lake. So we are in a cundundrum we can not post any music or transcription there of by any living musician for we would be breaking copy right laws. However we can post Bach, Mozart, and the like and face no reprieve, however if we post the who, the beatles, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, E,L,P, Genesis, Megadeath , Slayer, and the like, we are in grave danger. However many a musician on this website is not only capable of the transcription but would benefit greatly from playing any of these popular artists. So here is the fraud, if one goes on You tube and types in any of these artists they can find there songs,and entire albums for free, without paying a dime, however if we post a song transcribed we are violating copyright. Thus I say to you all, the internet is in itself a grand fraud against the musician, it has basically destroyed the art of the album more than the music video could ever have done. It is eseentialy robbing the musician blind, we can get free score online, and then we can hear the music for free online. This is a great tragedy that has made the art of music a penniless art unless one can dance around in a latex tutu, or if you can sing on stupid show. Thus I appreciate the integity of Active Bass for sticking to the law, however they are the only ones left who acknowledge it. Thus this is why I rarely ever post lessons, i use active bass, in a private manner for transcribing whatever rock scores I can find. Wether it be Rush, Floyd or the Beatles, the Police, whatever I can find, I will use active bass to bring about the melodies, and i will not, by the law publish it, however the point of this rant is this, the interent is nothing more than one massive act of copyright infringement, and it has made music so free that is has lost any intrinsic value. There was a time where I loved to buy Floyd and Crimson albums, there was a time where I loved buying whatever Bach album I could find, now I just go to You tube as a useful guide. Here is the dark point what of your music, what of mine, you compose a song, it gets downloaded, you get the song published, it gets downloaded. No money, a little recognition and that is all. The internet is the greatest thief since Al Capone, and I appreciate what active bass does, however, you complete the sentence.
