Bear with me; *I* think this is important and needs to be said, and I haven't seen these points made yet: 1. Taping and trading live tapes is a privilege. Bands do not have to allow recording and trading. Many bands allow it only because tapers have, in their experience, adhered to certain ethical standards (i.e. not turning a profit). 2. The taping community would die (or at least be seriously crippled) if all bands had no-taping policies. Tapers depend on the trust of bands. 3. When you voluntarily join a community, you agree to their rules, especially if said rules are vital to the survival of the community. All you people advocating 2-for-1 trades are talking about seriously threatening someone else's hobby (and hard-core traders are pretty darn passionate about their hobby) for your personal gain. That's not a nice buisness. Would you like it if someone destroyed your hobby or made it much more difficult to pursue? As an analogy: I live not far from a college that maintains an observatory. On certain nights (alternate Fridays, I think), the public is allowed to visit *provided they don't bother the scientists*. Suppose an inconsiderate twerp visits and decides to sing "See The Constellation" loudly and off-key. The scientists will be annoyed, and may decide to suspend/revoke public visiting hours. The people who have been quietly visiting the observatory for years will be seriously pissed off. My point here is that it takes only a very small amount of offenses before the plug gets pulled, and when it does, innocent people get caught in between. I say this because the anti-2:1 crowd's arguments sound self-righteous when they are, in fact, more about preservation of a fragile community than self-congratulation. It's difficult to make an argument for moral restraint and *not* sound holier-than-thou. > >>actually "Statue" is based on the opera Don Giovanni (or ...which he didn't know when he wrote it... :) (according to Live!

I don't quite understand how everyone is defining this whole 2:1 or 1:1 trade. Correction: I understand, but think it's illogical reasoning. As someone who's been involved in video and audio trading since '82 or so, I think many of y'all have got it back-asswards. No, I'm not a regular trader...but have traded and know lots of people who do it quite regularly. A trade is defined as exchanging something for something else. If someone sends me a tape of material in exchange for another tape of material, it is a 1:1 trade--we each gain a new tape with new material. If someone sends me one blank tape in exchange for a tape of material, it is a 1:1 trade--I gain a blank, he/she gains the new material. If someone sends me a tape, and I put music on it and send it back to them, it is a very nice thing to do... Would I do it personally? Sure! But, it's not a trade, It's a gift. I fail to see how giving someone something (the music) and them giving you something (a blank tape) constitutes "making a profit". I suppose if you consider the only "real" exchange the exchange of a magnetic tape in plastic casing with cute little metal screws holding it all together, then the taper is profiting. But, fact is, they have given the other party something they didn't have (music). I don't think it's terribly mercenary to receive a blank tape in exchange for said music...that is a trade, not a profit. What many of you are calling 2:1 trading simply is not. If so-and-so told me, "You must send me two tapes containing music, and I will only send you one.", that'd be 2:1 trading and that would be unfair. But the blank in exchange for taping something has been a standard in trading circles for a long time. It helps new traders get material, and provides the long-time traders with blanks to get new stuff to trade one day. So, what's the problem?

I think the reason behind the arrests (I've kind of been skimming through this thread so forgive me if someone else has mentioned this) is that parking meters are there for a reason. They're usually placed in areas with a lot of traffic and/or high demand for parking. The existance of parking meters supposedly encourages people to get back to the car and leave before their meter runs out, thus allowing someone else a chance to get the parking spot. If someone goes around putting money in everyone's meters, the owners of the cars can then stay longer without using up their own money and at the same time denying other people parking spaces. This is not to say I agree with this law, mind you, this is just the explanation I had heard. --Jason-- Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Message-ID: <36E9371E.A8500DC8@rosevc.rose-hulman.edu> Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 10:47:42 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: non-TMBG: promo items/laws, etc. carlyn nugent wrote: > > I've been reading this thread, yet resisting putting my two cents > in...till now.

I agree that we are using 1:1 as a misnomer for a B+P trade. Arguing over that is pretty stupid.

I don't think it's terribly > mercenary to receive a blank tape in exchange for said music...that is a > trade, not a profit. That's a B+P. That's not a profit at all. That's the standard way to get newbies tapes without making anything off them. Whether the newbie sends me a blank tape and I use it and send it back to them or whether the newbie sends me a blank tape and I use one of my blanks to tape something for them and send it to them is irrelevant. The same thing happened in both cases. I don't think anyone is saying either way is making a profit. > What many of you are calling 2:1 trading simply is not.

But the > blank in exchange for taping something has been a standard in trading > circles for a long time. It helps new traders get material, and > provides the long-time traders with blanks to get new stuff to trade one > day. So, what's the problem? Look. The #:# terminology means "Number of tapes you send" : "Number of tapes you get back". It isn't "Number of tapes I get" : "Number of tapes you get". It's you send 2 tapes, you get one back. Someone got that other tape and profitted off this whole thing and that is (like Nicole put it very well) profitting off the trust the band has given you in allowing you to tape. The "It helps new traders get material, and provides the long-time traders with blanks to get new stuff to trade one day" is purely a complete rationalization to why you are making the profit even though you shouldn't be. If I make 500 2:1 trades like that, I come away with 500 blank tapes. That's one hell of a profit. And to a trader, a blank tape is as a good as money because they're just gonna use the money to buy blanks anyways. What I've gotten out of this whole discussion is: Don't trade with certain people who don't understand that taping is a privelege. Violating the trust of the band by making a profit off taping hurts everyone who wants to enjoy live show tapes and if you choose to do that, you hurt me and I don't like you hurting me. That's why Lawrence keeps pounding his chest at you people. He doesn't want to hurt the trust the band places in their fans. Especially in TMBG's case where the right to tape is barely there anyways. The Johns feel uneasy about it, but they used fan recordings on their live album. Moxy Fruvous did the same thing (and I think the audience recorded tracks on Live Noise - Lowest Highest Point and Kasparov vs. Deep Blue - sound a whole lot better than the Apes tracks) and now they have a formal taping policy. We are getting closer to that with TMBG, but if we toss out the trust and do unethical trading, it's not gonna help us any at all. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 10:44:18 -0500 Subject: Re: semi-TMBG: radio coincidence?

Sure!! It's easy! Just trade with some TMBG fan who will do B+P trades (costing you nothing more than enough blanks to get the amount of music you want) and then start trading 2:1 trades and 3:1 trades with people who want to do it!

Not flaming indirectly or directly there. I was calling the argument stupid, not the people doing the arguing (especially since I'm one of them). I honestly would like us to stop arguing over semantics here. I think the people that care about the issue know what we are disagreeing about and whether we call it 1:1 or B+P or anything else doesn't really matter. That's what I was saying. I'm sorry if it sounded harsh when typed out. > a small nitpick, sir. it really hasn't become clear to me how such a > small inconvenience to the person gaining new material as sending an > extra blank tape makes it so wrong for a profit of any kind to be made.

If Ondine and >DMMKYA are indeed 2 different songs, how come I've never heard of >DMMKYA, and where can I hear it? "Don't Make Me Kill You Again" was a Dial-A-Song. I suppose Flans (or was it Linnell?) liked the phrase, so he worked it into "Ondine." There's also a very similar line in "Extra Krispy" ("Don't make me rock you again," for those of you who haven't heard the song). As for where you can find the song, it used to be on the online Dial-A-Song archive, but it isn't anymore. (It was a WAV, not a MOV.) I'm sure someone still has it. If they do, I'd kinda like a copy, since I lost my original one. -- May you live in interesting times, Nathan (who's been waiting such a long time now for the good times to start) DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Message-ID: <19990313003359.14299.qmail@hotmail.com> From: "Nathan Mulac DeHoff" Subject: Re: TMBG: A long, pointless list of TMBG songs Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 16:33:59 PST Jason Fickley wrote: >>I Might Be Giants Too (Deep Blue Something) > >What is the deal with this song?

I think the Johns might have played and/or sung it on Dial-A-Song, but the MP3 I used to have was done by DBS. (I say "used to" because I didn't like it very much, and deleted it). -- May you live in interesting times, Nathan (who might be giants, too) DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ From: GhostKrabb@webtv.net (Dexter Flansburgh) Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 16:37:25 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: TMBG: A long, pointless list of TMBG songs Message-ID: <5532-36E9B345-3221@mailtod-242.iap.bryant.webtv.net> I Might Be Giants Too (Deep Blue Something) WHOA!
