Why do the fuzz still use tapes? Is it supposed to be a chain of evidence thing?

just a bureaucratic nightmare to end contracts with certain companies when you're a publicly funded organisation.
this is why everything is so slow. in my line of part-time work, the municipal government gets conned out of millions of dollars due to lobbying companies and crooked screeners.

but on top of this, i think tapes would be better in the long run. it'd be controlled easily because making duplicates can be tracked better than digital copies. someone can't just break into a police vault and leave with 200 000 recordings if they use tapes. but i can do that if they had digital copies.
personally, i'd rather have my information on tapes than on media formats...

One other thing:
Please tell me why people deserve money over the dead bodies of Elvis, Keith Moon, Frank Sinatra and over the split groups of the Beatles, Floyd, King Crimson, etc?
The nonperforming barely see a fraction of all the money made from the sale of their music let alone the ones who are already dead.

This goes beyond music. What about books? What about for Hemmingway? Did his estate deserve money just because someone wants to make a short movie about some old man catching a Marlin?

If you want to make me pay for some music, fine. But at least make most of the money go towards the bands. I'm okay with the old ways of showing people music. But when record labels like Warner and Gomma come out and make MORE than the artists, of course people will steal the music.
Just look at Germany. With the bloody control they have there, my mates are literally still switching CDs and Mix Tapes of modern songs!

I think its because we have so many left. We're upgrading to cd recording now. About time to!

You know, those things you used in an interview. Oh wait, weren't you were in traffic?

I have no issues with downloads either Marc, I spend fuck loads on media in its different forms, if I want to download something I think its ok. I pay for spotify (though yes it is available for free in a limited way) I go to the flicks twice a month, have XL TiVo and I buy movies from iTunes too. All that cost me about ?80 per month so I do my bit. My old man had a record company once upon a time so I understand this subject. The result is that I do believe that artists intellectual property should make them wealthy but not stupidly so. In short I don't see the harm in a bit of downloading if its done with the right intentions. The type of downloader I don't line are the takers or leechers, the ones who don't intend to ever buy anything and worse still don't seed for others.

Something I heard someone say...I'm far to young to know what one is! [emoji16]

Whatever happened to making a tape and giving it to someone! [emoji41]

Spotify, Deezer, Rdio..... Etc all have free services as far as I know.

I know literally 100's of people who 'Illegally' download music though less so now free services arose, all of them go out and buy albums of artists they like, wether that's physically or digitally.

All of them are interested in going to see their favourite bands live..... I literally see no downside to free music. People would even still buy limited edition albums IMO.

Or the free samples on iTunes?

x2. piracy leads to sales.
how do you expect to get into new music if you have to pay to listen to a new album?
how do the bands make money when close to 20% of the cost of 'music' goes to the band?

if you discover new bands, you will promote them yourself. when that happens, you can buy paraphernalia and tickets for the bands so you actually support them. there, you won't support the American media giants who make 10x more than the artists they support or the German music conglomerate that goes around banning all forms of free music

I agree that there needs to be a way to listen to music to see if you like it but what about monthly paid sites like Spotify? Surely those are good? Its a tricky one.

Castro; although Al pacino, Schwarzenegger would be a good one! I'm sure there are many others who I can't think of right now though.

Principes, I picked up 25 in Majorca in June

That's the ones...nice, I picked her a five pack, they are bigger than the ones I've bought for her here, I'm sure of it.
