I prefer to remain free. I have no demand for distractions from silly notions of either supremacy or inferiority. It has obviously influenced me, being of mixed background it is usually been with me at night the other I’ve constantly been made mindful of. I got hassled in school of course; in the middle of very simple, monocultural white kids in New Zealand.

Update: July 6th, 2013: This article was published last August, but there was a crucial error just raised (due to No l Ramos of Independent Music Conference for realizing it). The axes were actually reversed, meaning ‘Musical Groups and Artistsand ‘Recorded Music Shipmentswere representing the wrong things; the corrected graphic is below (the storyplot itself continues to be same).

Universal has been doing the identical for the original Moody Blues. Not one cent of royalties for 48 years. Even tho they are questioned over this (the main 5 did NOT sign their rights away) Universal claims they don t have to tell the band members anything.

There are other conditions we’ve given to judge Stone. Digital Music News has repeatedly stated that we have no more information relating to this anonymous commenter, and hang that on paper. Yet in private written correspondence, attorney Giger has flatly accused Digital Music News of lying, while lecturing us with completely misguided and uninformed information associated with database architecture. It makes this entire exercise seem vindictive, both against Digital Music News and also the anonymous commenter. It seems like it could be extremely damaging to Grooveshark’s case in New York whether or not this was discovered that the anonymous commenter is actually a Grooveshark employee. But the discovery would also seem to place the whistleblowing commenter at serious risk.

The Reba McEntire concert in washington dc article is headed How Sia Lost Millions to Spotify With One Stupid Decision and you also ask prominently inside the article: why is Sia sacrificing millions of dollars by directing fans from YouTube to at least one in the lowest revenue-producing platforms, Spotify? This only is smart if Sia would get less overall from Spotify than from YouTube. You do admit, less prominently, within the article, that the truth is YouTube payouts are more serious than Spotify, but that simply means this article is inconsistent along with sensationalistic. You provide no evidence or argument whatsoever to show that Sia is sacrificing millions of dollars .
