================================================ Subject: Re: Tape Trading From: "DebbiR" To: Date: Fri 4 May 2001 20:23:36 -0700 ================================================ The only info I've seen from Scott Stapp on it is: "As an artist, and as I learn more about technology and computers, I definitely think there's a way we can all reach a happy medium and all move forward together," Stapp said. "I just wish organizations like Napster and those other groups would actually start coming to the artists and saying, 'Hey, let's work together,' 'cause this is the wave of the future. "I can definitely understand Lars from Metallica, [who] has vented quite a bit about his music being art, and these people are stealing [the band's] art. And I've heard some responses that say, 'Hey, Metallica has been a commodity for years.' "But that's irrelevant," he continued. "Who gives a sh** whether it's art or whether it's a commodity. It's still stealing when you're not paying for something, just like if it was a grocery store, just like if it was money laundered from bank accounts. But we're trying to stay protective about it. "We're talking about giving away music on our Web site to our fans. Like maybe five or six unreleased tracks a year that you can solely get through our Web site. There's all kind of ways we can work together on it, but each side has their part, and I don't really know where I fit into that yet, 'cause I can kind of understand both sides." -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of ]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[ Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 3:28 PM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: Tape Trading Umm, actually, I believe that Creed is against the idea of Napster, aswell as bootlegs and other stealing of copywritten material... at least, that's what was stated the first 3 or 4 times that this topic came up when Napster first started to have problems... ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ http://NightStorm.isyourgod.com/ NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com NightStorm_Draco@creedlist.com NightStorm@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
