oh, and btw, a note for dub-fans/listeners here. <BR>I'd say there are some pretty good dub mp3s at mp3.com for free downloads, so take time to go there, and get them while it last: <BR><A HREF="http://genres.mp3.com/music/electronic/down_tempo/dub/" TARGET="_blank">dub</A> <BR><A HREF="http://genres.mp3.com/download_charts/w ... ub_reggae/" TARGET="_blank">dub-reggae</A>, <BR>there's bunch of crappy stuff there as well, especiall in 'dub' genre - allots of non-dub at all stuff heh heh... <BR>but when it's gone - it's gone... <BR>my guess is also that many artists are not going to re-upload mp3s somewhere else.... this "exiting" mp3-madness era is over as I can tell. <BR>i-tunes, xm-radio, pay-for-napster and alike - this is what's coming. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR> <BR>/mz

right, good for You <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR>I'll have to do allots of borring work around <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... rt/sad.gif" ALT=":&#40;"> ...it's gonna be a mess really. <BR>at least I've got domain while ago and took time to make some albums available through cafepress.com. I don't count much on vary omds. The problem is that it is not cheap to have mp3s/streaming data on your own site, especially if you get any good traffic. <BR>Well, maybe CNET will create something good.... there's no info about it, here's some general idea, quote from some news: <BR>&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <BR>CNET Networks representatives said the company aims to augment its position as a provider of interactive content through the acquisition, with plans to enter the online music market through MP3.com. However, a company representative said the revamped site would not compete with music download services such as Napster. Instead, the company plans to turn MP3.com into a source of information for digital music. <BR> <BR>CNET Networks believes MP3.com can attract an audience similar to visitors of its GameSpot Web site, which features video game reviews and downloads. The company did not announce a timeframe for its planned relaunch of MP3.com but said it is interested in connecting with artists and record companies that have previously distributed their music via the site. <BR>&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <BR> <BR>/later, man <BR>/M ZEE

Heh-heh <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR>KoCha, man, which Vitaminic? This Vitaminic?: <BR><FONT COLOR="ff0000">The Vitaminic Music Network includes Peoplesound.com, the leading European website for high quality emerging music, Iuma &#40;Internet Underground Music Archive&#41;, the pioneer Internet artists community, FranceMp3, the leading French online music website, and ZipMind, a music publishing company. <BR> <BR>Vitaminic manages one of the largest digital music catalogues in the world, in complete accordance with copyright regulations, which is legally available on the Internet. This catalogue contains about 500,000 digital tracks which are organised into over 250 musical genres, coming from about 100,000 artists and about 1,500 record labels, including BMG, Emi, Sony, Universal, Warner, edel, Roadrunner and V2 &#40;March 2003&#41;. <BR></FONT> <BR>&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <BR>LOL, <BR>You see, everything in 'this world' got the same sorta' nature - "the nature of da'Beast" ...., including every single individual. <BR>Just as an example, speaking of IUMA - yep, IUMA was the first place for independent musicians to "publish" music on-line. But it woud die &#40;and actually did die&#41; if not for somebody who simply did JUST CARE about money - VITAMINIC - the big "shark" ...heh heh <BR>Money isn't The Devel. I'd say, that it is simply some sort of 'the only crippled way' human beings had and still do 'calculate' the common/obstract product of their creation and so they are being able to trade and thus dwell/exist... <BR> <BR>&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <BR>also, I can't fight Babylon, 'cos by "deffinition" I'm a 'Babylonian' , remember? ...<IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR> <BR>/blessings <BR> <BR>/Mike Zee aka Dr. ZEE

oh and, btw, it sure looks like IUMA is sort of dieing &#40;on life support&#41; at the moment. It's like a real ghost site. Check IUMA's community/boards ... <BR>..so, the bottom line is : Vitaminic or Whatever - - same nature... if it does not generate cash &#40;at least for its own support&#41; - it's gotta'Go ..like it or not. reality ... <BR> <BR>/respects, <BR>/MZ Dr.ZEE

I'm alright with what you say, put i just say vitaminic can host your music for free, and make it avaible for free... I think Mp3.com will stop that... <BR>So it's clear that vitaminic is big shark.. but the best things to fight babylon is first to enter them... for trying to send a message to massive. <BR> <BR>But if you want a real respect community go to versionist.com it's really a good platform, making just for giving good music to online jah children. They go perhaps sell records but it's just to promote the free artist. <BR> <BR>All want money, it'seems all people want money, but some of them keep some free service... <BR> <BR>Don't let them evaluate the price of your creativity, no things can have price if the time will loose... so erase time notion from your head... <BR> <BR>I just try to find the way to send message directly to the people... using babylon.. like a babylonian ;-&#41; but the difference is that we know what we are &#40;babylonian..&#41; and we see the opression of babylon so we can speak to people about that... <BR> <BR>Nuff respects, <BR> <BR>KoCha <BR>www.Almighty-Dub.com

<FONT COLOR="ff0000">but the best things to fight babylon is first to enter them...</FONT> <BR>HAH! there'Ya go <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR>Before fight them - Become one of them ..... <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR>...that's a some nice 'spin' <BR>Actually this may be the way for many "revolutionists". Revolutionist is a man who seeks to TAKE OVER, and thus by default is a subject to be taken in the after-revolutionary future. This 'pattern' of events has been played many times in history &#40;and sadly will be played again and again and again&#41;. <BR> <BR>Revolution is an act of taking over. Taking over is an aggression. Aggression is the mother of oppression. There's no room for liberty within oppression. <BR> <BR>True Liberation of ONE only can be established on the base of recognition, respect and immunity of Liberties of THE OTHER. <BR> <BR>Fight and burn - isn't a concept for me. <BR>For me the concept and the way is: If you wish to be heard - Learn To Listen first. <BR> <BR>..think 'bout that for a minute <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR> <BR>/respects and blessing, <BR>/M ZEE aka DrZEE <BR> <BR>p.s. <BR>this 'conversation' looks like a nice vein for more blah blah blah ..lol ...keep talking

versionist could be a perfect place if you could <BR>impliment space enough, people have to delete old tunes at the moment due to lack of space and <BR>the host is not minded for organizing the realative small donations that could make a <BR>solid platform with say 100 MB or aproximately <BR>25 mp3&acute;s for each that would be enough, and <BR>the donations needed would be neglible small <BR>i would gladly pay a non-profit fee for this, <BR>on line space is not that expensive at all <BR>it would be almost like free, and one could <BR>concentrate on WORK insteadt of all this <BR>problems that is dead-boring. <BR> <BR>Ok there is a problem with direct listing <BR>and acces to the single artist also, <BR> <BR>maybe we could consider a common "portal" <BR>that could tie our individual home-sites <BR>together, you have a individual domain <BR>with hundreds of megabyte relatively cheap <BR>so kinda higher structure with index, news, <BR>seach,... <BR> <BR>"babylon this, babylon that" its easy to <BR>demonize things, this apatic attitude <BR>sometimes is a bit boring and full of <BR>self-pity, nothing except the lack of <BR>brotherhood and organization prevents us <BR>from making new alternatives as long as <BR>copy-rights are not violated, its still <BR>a free world, the west at least, if one <BR>is not satisfied its alowed to bring up <BR>new alternatives, its never been cheaper, <BR>to reach a big audiense, wish I had the <BR>skills and time to structure such thing. <BR> <BR>Actually what is going on is the death- <BR>struggle of the giants, its a good show, <BR>so lets be possitive :-&#41; <BR> <BR>HM

You old guy, you have lost your hope to live better. <BR> <BR>It's sure that is impossible to do a perfect world where everybody think the same things, but actually we haven't got the possibility to choice between living for getting materials things or just living for love of living... <BR> <BR>I think we can build zion here you know!! we don't need to wait to dead! <BR> <BR>When i say FIGHT, it's means phisology fighting against people who don't see babylon, you know ? <BR>Fight in the head of the people, let's meditate on your life.. what is going on... <BR> <BR>All human try to know all the things on the world, but it's impossible to really know what we do here... so stop tring and just LIVE! <BR> <BR>A new system can be build, hope... hope brothern. <BR> <BR>HM, you say "death-struggle of the giants"... yes but that's not the giants that are affected by that.. but the whole World... this good show can go to the destruction of all. <BR> <BR>Love conscious talk with you dubsters, see you, <BR> <BR>KoCha <BR>From Almighty-dub.com

To me this would be more like a real nightmare rather than a 'model of perfection'. <BR>I'd say: "Thank You , Lord, for all the DIFFERENT colors in the Rainbow !" <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR> <BR>Speaking of being old, <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> <BR>Age is an unavoidable record of time. TIME is needed space for realization of regrets &#40;something that you've done or have said in the past you wish you never had&#41;. It's not a question about whether you did something regretable or did not, because everybody sure did &#40;has done&#41;. It's a question about whether you realize or not, that you DID. <BR>Such realization takes time and it shapes your character. Without such realization you have no character. Without realization of your own regrets you are a sales-man, whether you sell Viagra, Car Tires or Holy Bible. <BR>Character gives you ability to listen and thus hear. It takes time. Give it a time... <BR>/blessings, <BR> <BR>/Mike Zee, aka Dr. ZEE
