As the owner of a copyright, I can say I really don't care if you steal my stuff, because the people who create things don't make money from their creations anyway.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] a duo of ethicall questions
Thanks for the advice. I'm in reasonably good condition except for a short list of life-threatening issues :-) Brain-rot however is a real challenge, even though I had spent much of my life continuously learning things I simply cannot soak it up like I used to but learning music & Rosegarden have helped a lot, I see the results! They say we must learn something NEW trodding along westbound, another language for example is useless for someone who already speaks four, not because of the numbers but because of the already familiar field of knowlege. So music, midi, and general sound-crafting hit the spot for me. Physically I used to be able to toss a bag of cement a good few yards, if I tried that today my fingers would go with it, I don't want to get that low intellectually as well and Rosegarden has been like preventive vitamins and medication :-) I never moneytize the stuff I put up on the tube, not even my own or my partly my own. Properly crediting usually ends up with whatever loose-change ad revenue going where it should (there are laughable exceptions). It's digital covers that I'm not sure about so I thought I'd field a question to the probably thousands of Rosegarden users who are much more knowlegable about this than I am. That testimony is on my gotta-see list..

Re: [Rosegarden-user] a duo of ethicall questions
You should watch Rick Beato's senate testimony on Youtube users and musical content. Youtube is not at fault pulling videos down and censoring it is the Record Companies and such that makes up their own laws and they mostly violate "Fair Use" just out of greed. That behavior have to stop. i am not a fan of Beato, but I am glad he had the guts to go testify. Maybe something good comes from that, and there will be legislation to stop these record companies from making money illegally out of fair use such as parody and teaching. On the other hand, dont worry about "advanced age" eat right my friend that is the best advice you can ever get and stay away from franken foods, restaurants, fast foods and such. If you eat organic and cast out foods that disagree with you, health changes considerably and so does life expectancy. Doctors couldnt help me with my ailments, for years. It was only after my daughter became a Naturopath that about all my problems disappeared. I eat right now and still sift through what doesnt agree with me etc. After following her advice, i have no tinitus anymore amazing!, rheumatic effects in my hands that stopped me from playing disappeared, strange recurrent tumors I battled with for decades disappeared etc etc. I have my life back and is completely healthy again. Dont let anyone tell you food is not important. The hydrogenated oils that you WILL get from restaurants or any prepared food will hurt you. Eat what agrees with you and make sure it is always organic. Big Agriculture aned their pesticides/chemicals is slowing killing us. I am living testament of that. All my decades long trouble was pesticide/hydrogenated/sucrose & refined food related. I dont use any sugar anymore, only organic honey...makes a huge difference. Anyway, enough of my advice. All our musical contributions are necessqary on youtube etc. Everything helps to keep the music alive, including yours. Keep going.
