fiogf49gjkf0d "Right, stop that, it's filth!"
You're allowed to use bad language in your personal blog (the way I do), but not in the forums. When I get the urge to do so, I usually block some of the word out.
We made quite an effort to make this site family-friendly a few years ago and it's part of what I do to help keep it that way.
All three admins on this site possess the 'magical moderator powers'. As proof of my sincerity, I'm deleting the words in question (thus making this admonition look silly - oh, well). Put them back and I delete the whole post. More can be done, but that's usually reserved for spammers who can't speak English and/or won't listen.
Bill Hicks used to say that people high on pot didn't argue because it was impossible. "Hey, you!...." "Hey, what!...' "Hey...." "Hey.." Not that we advocate that sort of thing...

fiogf49gjkf0d your right there not that good
thats why it is called demented music
but i still think the most part is the Artist is not that good
and now where back to denis leary song asshole
no one likes the ariest them selfs
when you cant find something on google search
as a mp3 as a bittorrent file or as a nzb file or as zip file on free 4 all
more to life then just youtube
music online like madmusic
is only a blog page
you keep saying copyrights
when you stop and think about it
this hole web page is a copyright
so is it the song that is not good or the Artist is not that good for a person
i will say it is the Artist is not that good for a person
since i cant find it as a bittorrent file
and no ask to play it for the Artist
i just think it is the Artist no one likes
that is only an example for barnes and barnes
there must be over 2000 songs only played 1 time only
and by over 700 Artist most of the songs are by the same Artist
example
barnes and barnes
the lovely sulu
Damaskas
all have about 15 songs each only played 1 time
does this mean the song sucks or the Artist sucks
if you cant find it on a personal web page
that has no copyrights
tell you are found out it is posted
someone like a friend of Damaskas could have made a little story
and posted a zip file of all the songs but no one did that
why i guess no one likes Damaskas
there is more to life then
Making Love In A Subaru
that is probably the good reason
the Artist sucks for a person them selfs
in less the rest of them gets played or posted on a personal web page
thanks

fiogf49gjkf0d You know, you could become a DJ yourself on Dementia Radio, and as a DJ you would have access to all the songs on the Mad Music Archive. You could then do you OWN show, and play all of the old songs that don't get played.
P.S. There is probably a good reason why they don't get played. They're probably not that good.

fiogf49gjkf0d See, this is why I can't explain this like you were five years old, because a five year old won't understand it.
A five year old thinks that, any time you are out of money, you just go to the bank and get some more. No explaining of how you can't take out money that you haven't put in will be understood.
I'm not saying the copyright laws in the U.S. are good. I frankly think they are too long, myself.
But they are the law. You can't just decide to ignore the law because you don't agree with it, unless you are willing to pay the consequences.
And since the copyright is owned by either the songwriter or the songwriter's estate, you can demand that these "assholes" post them on YouTube all you like, but they are within their right not to.

namethis:
thanks
but your missing the point of copyrights
the point is the artiest is the owner at all times
when he or she dies the copyrights are past along to next of kin
if the kids want to post there dad music they could
if wanted to it always up to the artiest
if the artiest goes away then so does the copyright
it goes to the next of kin
if the kids wanted to post it they would
thanks for the links to the pages

fiogf49gjkf0d Sorry, but you are missing the point of copyrights.
If Microsoft gave away free copies of their software, why would anyone buy it?
And you're wrong. You CAN download it from two web pages. You just can't download it for FREE, which is what you want.
See, that's what copyrights are for, to enable the artist to profit from their efforts.

fiogf49gjkf0d I note also, that every example you gave was a Barnes & Barnes song.
Here are a couple of websites that have their music:
www.discogs.com/artist/Barnes+%26+Barnes
www.voobaha.com/
Now, I don't know where you actually are, but here in the U.S., copyrights can last 110 years or more. Songs do not automatically enter the public domain at the death of the songwriter (I often wish they did, but they don't). So, your statement about 1971, and whether relatives and friends know if they are alive or not is irrelevant.

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, again, just because You Tube is your favorite place to search for songs doesn't mean it is everyone's favorite place to look for songs. With more and more people getting internet access, if every song were up on You Tube where you could play it free of charge, why would anyone bother to buy a copy of the song?
A good portion of the time, a song is uploaded onto You Tube not by the artist, but by someone who likes the song.
A lot of these artists are busy people, busy giving concerts, or writing new song, or recording new songs. Most of them have websites that you can visit and download the songs you like from.
Remember, You Tube is not there to bring you the songs you like. Show a little initiative and search a bit more thoroughly, and I'm sure you will find more.

fiogf49gjkf0d I believe I can field that. I'm sixty-seven.
Not all foreigners from 'net disreputable' countries (Russia, most of Eastern Europe, most of Africa) mean us harm. Some just love vodka and deep thoughts/questions. But English is a harsh mistress (especially with the vodka), so their efforts come across as what you see. This could explain both the spelling and the time difference.
The location is a little easier. Spammers in Africa often pretend to be in America to keep us (me) from zapping them right away - it doesn't work. Since they don't know of any places in America (even though they have the freaking internet in front of them) they nearly always choose New York as a location - making the miscreants even easier to spot. Idiots.
Of course, since this guy joined the site the year I did, all this might very well not apply in this particular case. I'm in the habit of not questioning those who joined us in the first year too severely - not cynical enough? It certainly describes other examples I've seen here and there.

Max DeGroot:
If you're five, how did you manage to join when you were minus three years old?
Explain this to me. I'm sixty.
If you're five, how did you manage to spell most words correctly, when you aren't even in Kindergarten? You didn't use spell checker, since that would not have left "artiest" misspelled.
Explain this to me. I'm sixty.
If you're five, what are you doing on the internet at anywhere between 2 AM and 5 AM (assuming you're in North America as most members are)?
Explain this to me. I'm sixty.

fiogf49gjkf0d Now, assuming that you are NOT five, it should not take much to explain why these songs are not on YouTube.
1. There is this thing called copyright which allows only the copyright holder the ability to decide if their song goes up on YouTube. This accounts for a good number of songs not being there.
2. There are a lot of songs written, every year. A LOT. With so many, it would be quite a chore to put them all up on YouTube, seeing as YouTube is a video displaying website, and most songs don't have videos associated with them.
3. YouTube is not there to provide you with whatever song you desire.
I hope that explains it well enough.
