project; a
FANTASTIC thing.

Seems to me Atkinson was bitching here about someone posting a
complete
copy of an article.....Considered it a copyright violation.
This doesn't seem like a copyright problem to me, as I posted
the
link
to their website, thereby giving attribution. At any rate, had
I
not
done so, someone would have been critical of that. So,
whatever.
Anyway..."unregulated openness of the Internet seems to have
done
it
many favors."
It being classical music.
Giving away recordings inspires interest in performances.
Yes it can. As long as it's the owner's decision, it's a good
thing.
Musicians
should not be greedy.
Most are just trying to make ends meet like everyone else.
20 Million classical musicians trained in social programs might
not help.....

Sorry, you'll have to clarify.- Hide quoted text -
That Venezuela social program is going to make classical musicians
cheaper than
berry pickers.....
As if more than a tiny fraction want to or qualify for doing music as a
profession.
What qualifications does it take to qualify for music as a profession?
Using gross revenue as a measure of success?
Sadly the answer is more T as in T & A than talent or training.
I'm sorry, since we were discussing the youth orchestra program in
Venezuela, I thought that we were talking about classical.
Although there is a bit of T&A there as well of late.
What have you gone and done now you naughty liberal you?
ScottW
Not me, certainly. But the marketing types are "interesting" people.
