Comment on SOPA And All That Jazz by Joe Mitchell

I think what got lost in the whole SOPA/PIPA debate was how the two sides were not at all complete opposites. Everyone that opposed SOPA was not completely against the idea of some kind of law to stop piracy, the real problem was that SOPA and PIPA were so horribly written and so generally vague that it basically allowed the government and copyright holders to take down entire websites such as Youtube if they so wished.

I heard that under SOPA, Justin Bieber could have been taken to court when he first started off, simply for doing a cover of somebody without permission and putting it on Youtube.

What got lost in the whole argument was that the main thing that the people that were against SOPA actually just wanted a better worded, more clear and precise version of SOPA that couldn’t destroy freedom online.

Or, reassess why you played music in the first place, see it as a release – something so personal that no-one’s gonna put you down because YOU created it.

Also, there’s argument to say that much of the world does not know what’s ‘good’ – just as we are passive citizens politically, we are musically passive, with only a few diverting from the Radio 1 playlist. So, musicians of beautiful music, don’t waste your time pitching your art to all and sundry – be glad of the few people that see the deeper picture behind your compositions.

Transcend, don’t descend!

Thanks for your comment. I would agree with you that interesting and decent stuff has always been around and there’s a lot more music out now than ever before. This list of artists is a fine collection, for sure. It’s just that none of them are particularly innovative or earth shatteringly genre busting or culture shifting, if one is true to the definition of the word(s). Which, whatever your views on the extremely extrovert VH are, they were…

Decent music’s out there, you just gotta look for it. I reckon there’s just as interesting stuff happening now as there was in the sixties, and more. Vessels, Bon Iver, James Blake, Russian Circles, Errors, The Mountaineering Club, Booka Shade, Florence + The Machine, Wild Beasts…

All more introverted than Van Halen of course!

Thanks for the advice. It makes me think of the quote ” Don’t pray for happiness, walk the road that leads to happiness – Buddha”

“Music is such a cool thing. We can’t leave its fate to people on talent shows.”

AMEN!
