Hey, you know I hear there is a reward for some guys laptop that got stolen.
It up to like 1300 or 1400 bucks - I'd have more info - but - I'm a little lazy - you see - I barely have time to tend my garden.
How high is the reward now?"Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet."

I'm not saying your wrong but your method of message delivery has caused it to fall on deaf ears.Again I suggest if you would like to debate this start a new thread.

Go to another thread and be a #$*&, k?
Our friends ended up with their laptop stolen and priceless pictures of their family, etc. are now lost to them and want them back. Also, since you're so knowledgeable...is it slander or libel that you're doing? hmmm....damn...I keep forgetting the difference between the two.
I'd highly recommend this forum for your post regarding the topic you feel like spewing about.
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

QuoteYou know, he could belong to a DJ subscription service. You pay a certain amount of money, and they legally send you a certain number of songs. One of my friends is an ex-DJ. The subscription service (I can't remember which one it is) still sends him music.
bingo, plus there are other ways.
it is easy for a dj to get "permission" because it brings the artists music to the masses, kinda like a sponsor.
You toss around the Thief Label quite freely without anything to back it up.
I also have a HUGE MP3 Collection. 100% of it is legal. Most of it came from my personal 800+ CD Collection. I was also Professional DJ for a few years (Music Director for a Station in Carrolton, Ga for a Year and a Strip Club DJ for 3 More Years) but no where near as long as Robby (Rastaricanair) was (10+ years in commercial Radio). As a Professional DJ, Labels send you 100`s of CD`s each week trying to get exposure for their artists. It is very easy to accumulate a 14000 song collection of music that you have legal rights to for personal use.
Many LEGAL services also offer unlimited MP3 Downloads for a set monthly fee.
As for commercial use of the Music.. ONCE you are operating.. the Management companies like BMI/ASCAP and others that you use ask you to periodically log the music you play on a Given day and send that information in. This is how Song Writers and Artists get paid based on the how often their music is played. The Dues/Membership/Royalties each Commercial establishment pay (Quite substantial for many of the Clubs I worked in) is then distributed to the Artists. I can tell you that the standard License fee for a Medium sized Strip Club to cover Use of ALL Music played in that commercial establishment was roughly $4,300 per year in the Mid 90`s. I had to deal with this for every Club I worked at). That was for an Operation that was open and playing Music 10am till 3am 6 days a week.)
The Labels and Artist call you CONSTANTLY trying to get you to PLAY their music.
There is no per song license. You pay a flat rate to BMI/Ascap and that covers you for all Music.
Anyone Collecting a HUGE MP3 Collection for use to start up a commercial DJ service is in no way violating any laws and does not deserve to be called a Thief. Once that Business is started.. Yes they must pay the royalties (AT THAT TIME!!!). Until then.. Anyone is free to RIP to their hearts content any CD`s that they own as long as they are using the music for personal use and not distributing the song over the net or any other way.
But since you know so much about intellectual property rights.. I am sure you already know all this.
If you have anything to add about the THEFT of the Laptop (Which is the subject of this thread), Please do. If you wish a debate over Intellectual Property Rights... Start a Thread.
In the mean time I think you owe an Apology for calling someone a Thief without a CLUE how the music industry handles Licensing.

HIM HIM!
{Sensing the impending removal of Sticky status and subsequent digression of the thread into god-only-knew-what, he finally spoke}:
Here's what I've come up with:
-------------------------------------------------------------
REWARD $2,000
For information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible for the theft of the following items:
- Dell Inspiron laptop Model 9100, Service Tag# 3JPNX41
- Western Digital Extreme Series 250G external hard drive, Model WDXC2500JB; clear plastic shell with red LED lights along either side
Taken in 3-zipper canvas computer case, from the hangar of Skydive the Farm, Rockmart, GA early morning Sunday 4/2/06
Partial Amnesty Offer:
$250 for RETURN of HARD DRIVE with ALL FILES INTACT
No questions asked
Contact Polk County Sheriff’s Dept: 770-748-7331
or
RASTARICANAIR@ DROPZONE.COM
-------------------------------------------------------------
Not that I can ask any more of any of you, but if you wanted to print a copy of the attachment and post it at your own DZs, I would not be offended. If the pictures at the bottom don't come out on WORD, I've got a PDF copy also.
Every time someone gets their stuff ripped off at a DZ, a dozen other people seem to have similar stories, but I never see flyers or anything to bring attention to it when and where it happens. Maybe a little community outrage is a healthy treatment for the problem.
And if I can help foster it, all the better for my ego.
To everyone who's offered your help: You've either gotten a PM or should expect one. You've kept me from gagging on a bile of fury and cynical disgust over this thing for the past three days. Thanks.
