I wonder if it would be possible to create a "gifting" thread when Trespassing comes out so everyone could have a bona fide copy? I would love to give others a copy of it but sadly don't personally know many folks who would be receptive. But gifting to Atop members is a no brainer. Not sure about the logistics of course, just an idea. I like the idea of a gifting thread. Thanks for thinking ahead on this. peace&love |

Not sure about the logistics of course, just an idea. I guess I just don't understand the "I'm poor so it's OK to steal" mentality ... I wonder what else these same folks steal if they can't afford to buy? Cars, clothes, candy bars? ??? In my opinion, just because music is easy to steal doesn't make it right. If the musicians don't need or want to make money from their recordings they will make their music available for free. And maybe someday that will be the norm, with revenue for musicians coming from sources other than recordings; but until then, it is just plain stealing to download without paying. And yes, there are lots of Adam's fans who will gift music to those who can't afford to buy ... I hope Q3 will establish a thread for gifters when the time comes. |

Downloading for free is still stealing- the reason why does not matter. Buder, An amazing thing related to downloading that I learned recently. So many young people have been used to downloading music for free, and believe that music, books, etc should be free online, and that artists will make their money through live performances, that this attitude is now making itself felt in law schools where students are studying intellectual property law. Some students are now intent on changing, or even eliminating, copyright laws when they graduate. I guess this would be a paradigm shift, but I don't see how it could work. peace&love How would an author make money in this situation? Just curious. |

I find the ethics of the digital media world to be confusing... For instance: I never buy a book unless I've read it and I know I WANT TO OWN it. I use something called a library - the place where I can borrow the books and other media (DVDs, CDs, tapes) for my temporary use. Some authors I buy without reading as I know from my previous experience that I will WANT TO OWN their work anyway - Adam falls into this category of course. So, if I use the YouTube or a download site for the same purpose, i.e. to decide if I in fact WANT TO OWN a book or a song or an album - am I stealing? How is it different from using a library item? |

www.dose.ca/Early+Buzz+Rihanna+Harry+Potter+Lady+Gaga+More/5779804/story.htmlEarly Buzz: Rihanna, Harry Potter, Lady Gaga and More Dose.ca November 29, 2011 -Reminding us that he continues to shine on like a crazy diamond, Adam Lambert did an interview with Rolling Stone. In it, the Idol alum talked about how his next album, Trespassing, will feature dubstep sounds (just like everyone else's). He's been working with Pharrell Williams, Dr. Luke and Bonnie McKee (who co-wrote Katy Perry's song "Teenage Dream").

Just got back from the post office, and have my RS with Jimmy Paige on the cover.
Could care less about the cover, just that p. 20 is in perfect condition!!
Anyone want to trade for Jimmy Paige, dm me.

I'm torn about Adam singing at the Olympics -- his album campaign will be in full swing. Now, if Queen were to back him on one of his songs, that might work. Although, how can you not want to hear "We Are the Champions" at the Olympics? I don't know. Adam's style is so different then Queen's style. It really doesn't represent what he does.
