You need to re-read my response and think about exactly what im saying. I wasnt saying there's no space for criticism or discussion, very far from it. The most important thing at this stage is for people who can see flaws or pitfalls to flag them up and generate discussion around them. But what I was saying was that deriding the concept without explanation is not helpful at all. I dont think anyone is stupid enough to think that bringing out a record is as simple as get tune press it distribute it, but regardless obviously I think that very detailed discussion of exactly what is involved and required is completely necessary. Of course if Kion has something productive to say ill listen and give it due consideration, but that clearly wasnt what was brought.

Assuming of course that any more reward than the satisfaction of getting sick music out in the public domain and money into the pockets of the artists you respect is required.

I wouldnt expect it, but i wouldnt dismiss the idea. To assume this attitude on the part of the people you refer to i think is potentially doing them discredit. Maybe they do feel that way, if so then thats that, but i would hope that they would be supportive of the efforts to further push the music, provided of course it were done with the right intentions and appropriate degree of professionalism.
But enough of this, bickering wont get the idea anywhere at all
