Hello everyone!

I would like to apologize if I sounded too pessimistic the last two weeks about the SOPA and PIPA bills. They cause me great concern, of course, but I’m sure we will find a way to continue sharing songs (old and new) over the Internet despite them (if they become law).

NEWS:

Mystic Seaport is calling for papers for the 33th Annual Music of the Sea Symposium. The deadline to propose a subject is February 15, 2012. The Symposium will be held on June 8-9. For more information, follow this link to the Call for papers.

Hello everyone!

Last week, I talked about the SOPA and PIPA bills and I told you that if they pass, they will have an impact on other countries. Well, I didn’t know how much I was close to the truth! I had forgotten about a bill right here in Canada in wich we find a lot of the same points. And guess who is behing those bills… The “majors” of the industries of music and film!

Don’t get me wrong: I have nothing against free market and some government intervention. But I think that the “majors” should accept the rules and they should work harder at adapting themselves to the new reality of what I call “cultural distribution”.

Unfortunately, if those bills become laws, they will have an effect on smaller projects like The Bordel de Mer…

I am 100% for paying for royalties. Of course, at this stage in the development of The Bordel de Mer, it is impossible for me to pay royalties. I am already paying a good sum of money for the server… But still a project like this one is good advertisement for artists who wouldn’t be able to get their music heard as much… (I know for a fact that many groups got many gigs because they’ve been heard on the show).

Hello everyone!

Chances are that you heard about the bills SOPA and PIPA that were supposed to be presented to the US senate next week…

If those bills become laws, it will have a direct impact on The Bordel de Mer… I don’t know yet how much impact it could have on the show, but the risk that I’ll have to close it is present. I don’t think we should worry too much at the moment, but I wanted to keep you informed… And we’ll see from week to week…
