		<description><![CDATA[[quote comment=&quot;287393&quot;]Pretty sure none of these Greens ever tried to be a working musician, producer or run a label of any size (same probably applies to film/video as well).

Those of you who think every entertainer should have a day job, news flash: most of them do. Those of you who think that everyone running a record label is a wearing nice suits and jetting around? We&#039;re not. And if you think that all entertainers should set out a begging bowl (donation button), ask yourself if you would work only for donations. As a way to get rewarded for a hobby maybe its OK, but if you&#039;ve spent time training yourself, building your skill and reputation, would you act like a beggar in the street shaking a cup for  spare change? I sure as heck wont.

Oh and to all of you who &quot;share&quot; files, may I ask where you got those files to begin with?[/quote]

If you can&#039;t have a modicum of humility you don&#039;t deserve anything. Asking for donations portrays goodwill and people will gladly give. Pigheadedly exagerrating already overpriced CDs will not attract income. You&#039;ll no doubt claim that the artist has no control over that, well that&#039;s too bad. Setting up a Web site and asking for whatever people would LIKE to pay or what they can afford, is what will prosper you, and has nothing to do with begging. People want to see your goodwill and humility, not your greedy arrogant pride. If you can&#039;t fake it, stiff cheddar.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The media cartels are going about it all wrong. They should support file sharing and stop opposing it. Will that increase file sharing? No I think it will slow it down. Reverse psychology, that&#039;s the ticket. Not only would that mean people would start buying CDs and DVDs again, along with a drastic drop in prices, those sampling by share will also search out their newly found tastes on CD or even DVD serials if at a good price.

Reduced price media is what will sell mostly, and also make the most money. Not overpricing, which doesn&#039;t sell. Do you have a sales clue or what? Stubbornly inflating prices will not increase profits unless you have the sales and will only cause avoidance and ill-will to  potential buyers.]]></description>

Ehr. Nope. Maybe you&#039;re thinking of the &quot;Socialist left party&quot; (sosialistisk venstre parti). Thats an entirely different party, and which does not support legalisation of file sharing, by the way.

Stop that stupid lying. Who are you anyway? What cause are you supporting by writing such bullshit?

Venstre is not a socialist party. From http://www.venstre.no/print.php?article=981, you can clearly read &quot;Venstre is a liberal, non-socialist party&quot;. Everything I wrote about venstre was correct, its a mainstream liberal party sharing power with the concervative party and other non-left parties for many years, a fact which you can check from numerous sources on the internet and everywhere else. I have never ever heard that its supposed to be a socialist part. so just shut up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey- thanks fore all of y thought about my thoughts aboute filesharing- without steeling!

http://www.rockparty.se/
Exampel of music festival local
-swede festival in Hultsfred/ Kalmar county- its rather commen to test what artist comes upp before bying a 2-4 days ticket rather expencive. 
On festival all musicplaing bands sell thire music cd on market sourroundings! 
(sell a lot during those days)

Again i think its a win win situation with internet - and the benifitt of musiclovers to reccomend artist is fare more value fore artiste because its a collecting thing to by the orginal in the end fore moste of people.

Fore those who cant pay and only loads down music will still spread music reccomending as free PR fore the musicpeople and then again sell morde cd... What is the PR coast fore music...compared with lost of sharingmoney ???

Venstre is not a liberal party.
It is a socialist party.
The swedish green party is supporting the socialists and socialdemocrates in Sweden.

None of these are liberal.

In the case of the Green party it really looks like they are fishing for votes from young people who are for sharing because they do not have experience from working and have not developed a sense for ownership. 

Sharers, despite what age, seems to me as people with a very low resonsability level and no sense for ownership.

In politics they are often called &quot;communists&quot;.

As I&#039;m not a politician I just call them selfish. And greedy.]]></description>
