Dear --- Richard P Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> May I ask you who do you think music is made for? Who makes the music? If it comes from inspiration then it belongs to us all! Thereby hides the sins of man, he takes that which he does not make and uses to feather his own nest! Have a nice day! From a real person called brian Nixon aged 68 and finds this web site un helpful, for no one seems to be dealing with the Trusteeship of the Trustee's of an Organisation that was set up and paid for by us the licence fee payer and then we who own it are ignored when policy is made, because like governments, they are all ruled by the word "Democracy" but in fact is a lie to us all. A lie to us all is a crime called "Perjury" and Perjury is itself a lie to ones self in the only fact that life gives to us human beings and that is we are alive and the only other state we know as a fact is death. So the beginning or the end of the arguments I have seen daily on this web site for which I pay for. Is no one cares at all about us all and that we live in that new dictatorship of a pending Republican State that Mr. Blair "AGREED" IN AN "AGREEMENT HE AND NOW DEAD MO MOLAM MADE ON OUR BEHALF WHETHER WE WANTED IT OR NOT! READ FOR YOURSELF THE PROOF OF WHAT I CLAIM. GO TO THE ULSTER UNIVERSITY WEB SITE AND ASK THEM TO BRING THIS AGREEMENT UP FOR YOU TO READ! THE ON THAT SAME SITE ASK THEM TO READ THE "1689 FREEDOM ACT" AND COMPARE WHAT REALITY HAS GIVEN TO US ALL!
