In Spite Of These Times ( aka Too Bloody Stupid )

Due to ongoing hassles about copyright. sadly I am having to put this blog into temporary freeze while I figure what to do.

I don't wish to end up in legal trouble, so have to stop while I figure it all out.

Humans Beware, the predecessor of this blog, has been taken offline totally - not by me - by someone who has complained about copyright infringement.

What disappoints me is that at the end of the day I am nobody in the greater scheme of things, just some obscure guy from Australia, and not a threat to the future of the universe.

For now I'm thinking about the options for continuing, so all is not lost....just figuring out what to do.

To everyone that has supported me and everyone who has listened and enjoyed the music, a massive thanks.

If you object to your song being on my mixes

Let's work on this together -

recently on my older blog Humans Beware, several whole mixes were deleted due to an anonymous copyright holder complaining directly to Box.net ( where the files are stored ), they have deleted the files, that's fair enough. In doing so they deleted the whole mix.

I would prefer a situation though where I removed the offending song rather than the whole mix.

For the record - if you are an artist or "copyright holder" of any of the songs on any of the mixes on this blog and you would like your song removed from the mix, I am happy to remove it immediately from the mix, please email me directly and I will do so immediately.

Quite simple really, and also helps out other artists who have no problem being included :)

Have a nice day.

and while you're listening pop on over to Cloudberry to pick up the 406 Fanzine/CDR and the Persian Rugs 7 (as well as the new Very Truly Yours 7 of course ) - plus there's extra Persian Rugs digi-tracks for sale on their bandcamp so pop on over there too :)
