Musicblogicide

I meant to blog about this last week after I came across this article in the
Guardian

It’s was quite a startling development especially seeing as lots of blogs are now posting mp3s with the express permission of the Artists and or Record Companies, and even if they are not most at least recognise the influence that blogs can have and are therefore happy to allow them to be posted.

The most upsetting thing to me about this whole thing is that someones entire blog could be wiped without prior warning, surely they could just remove the offending mp3s or at least warn the bloggers what they were planing on doing. I know I have not been blogging again for very long and I have hardly been prolific in my posting but for some people who have been posting religiously for years this must be devastating.

If you do a twitter search for musicblogicide there are some more interesting takes on this debate.

I was kind of hoping that Matt Mason might have had something to say on the matter but there is no sign of any thing yet on his Blog

I wonder did it turn a few people off buzz or have people actually been turned on by buzz at all yet?

Another thing I meant to post earlier in the week was Puma’s ahem heart warming Valentine Viral
