Greetings to all once again. I would like to take this opportunity of scrambling in the news to point out to a great problem in the world society today, and that is theft. In this particular case, we're talking about copyright theft. I know, 99% of you have watched or own pirated movies, it's usually no big deal (until the law catches you and you have a fine to pay), but what if you decided one day to do something like this:
Zenit - De mi barrio hasta tu barrio (con Cyrano) . mp3?
As you may see in the example above, it is an almost compleetly, yet not a totally different kind of theft. He stole - he used. Same as with a movie or an album from the net that you can download very easily today.
But, there is one subtle difference. While you download for your pleasure, the two persons in our example do it to make money. The song in question has been (Google says so!) published on a CD (not an album, just that song). This would be an equivalent of you taking scenes from Lord of the Rings, remix them, and proceed in selling your movie (and perhaps expect to win an oscar).

After listening for the first 20 seconds, I am SURE that you will not have a warm fuzzy feeling inside you, it will be quite contrary to the feeling you usually have when you watch LotR 3 in DivX on your PC, 3 months before it's officially released, and that you will wish I gave you an email address of this great band.
So please, if anyone knows if this band has an email address, please send it to me (ivo.NOSP@M.megatherion.com) or to Sephren, so that we may include it in this post and ask all of you to send your warm and fuzzy thoughts to them via email.

Thank you.


Update: this page has an email feature, so you can send them a few words, expresing your love and support for their work. If you can, do it in Spanish, so that they understand your ethusiasm better.
