Your comment about my blog means a lot to me...Ken:<br /><br />Your comment about my blog means a lot to me, coming from you. I ain't bailin' out just yet. The threat seems to be that any post of mine that draws a complaint will be removed without warning. Worse, Blogger might cancel my account if it happens often enough. Those are no small potatoes, but they are manageable problems. <br /><br />I will probably begin removing the links to music downloads after they have been up for a while. Maybe a month or so is the right amount of time. The post they spiked had been up for quite a while. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks to all for the concern. Jazz is worth taking some risks.Ken Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580209017016829598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805095272435181099.post-73621443502813189612009-07-23T08:37:29.980-05:002009-07-23T08:37:29.980-05:00Oops.

I guess they are posting the violation in their database of cease and desist orders (not the original post). <br /><br />Well, what Blogger sent you didn't seem to be a Cease and Desist, but I guess you have to think hard about your blog in its current format. For what its worth, as I said in another comment, it seems like RIAA and IFPI are going after the hosting providers rather than the content authors, and expecting those providers like Google/Blogger to police their users. At least Blogger, I think, will more likely give a slap on the wrist, rather than the Recording industry's heavy handed hammer (lawsuit) approach of the past.Ken Lasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12828859773379284792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805095272435181099.post-58873846597252755022009-07-22T23:10:07.977-05:002009-07-22T23:10:07.977-05:00A very interesting development.

In your case, they just objected to one particular post, and Blogger removed it. They really didn't seem too threatening about the rest of your blog. And who is the Chillingeffect.org? I think it says that they will repost the 'offending' blog entry, perhaps in protest. Chilling Effect seems to be aligned with EFF. A great organization that protects on-line rights. <br /><br />I await to hear your take on these development, and whether you will continue your wonderful Jazz Note SDP.<br /><br />KenKen Lasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12828859773379284792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805095272435181099.post-58434780268838475262009-07-22T23:05:38.026-05:002009-07-22T23:05:38.026-05:00Jim: you are dead spot on with that comment!

It cheered me up. If the International Federation of the Pornographic Industry makes a copyright complaint against this blog, I will have to reconsider my purple prose.Ken Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580209017016829598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805095272435181099.post-79045277014344840152009-07-22T09:35:33.423-05:002009-07-22T09:35:33.423-05:00Well, I guess this post is proof my liberal mind f...Well, I guess this post is proof my liberal mind first seeks the gutter.<br /><br />When I first read it, I thought it said the "Pornographic" industry. Not only was I stunned to learn of such an organization, I thought the title of the post it objected to proved the difficulty pornographers have with spelling (or their innovative approach to it).<br /><br />Frankly, at this point, I have about as much esteem for the recording industry as the porn industry.

I know that is a backhanded compliment, but I often wonder if what I write is ever graced by eyes other than my own. JJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
