No one is trying to stifle discussion on a particular topic. The point is -- don't make Sound Choice the topic when it is not.

Well, obviously you are, simply because you obviously don't like the opposing view! That's clear to anyone with eyes in their heads.
How on earth can you even say that?
SC is part and parcel of the topic at hand. They are INCLUDED in the paperwork of the lawsuit in question, and now you're saying we can't discuss that portion of it because you feel some need to keep everything completely "on topic" (which it IS)? Please define "on topic" for me, because I'm clearly having trouble reconciling my definition with yours. I kind of looked at these forums as more like a conversation between several people, which will naturally wander and meander to side topics and perhaps wander back on the original topic again, or perhaps not.

"Find a knothole, and drive a truck through it". Just because a company relates in some small way to a suit at hand, it doesn't mean that bringing the topic of the legitimacy of all of their particular doings to the fore is appropriate.

This isn't real life. But they do do that, they just leave or stop talking. And if you think it is right that you can make people leave by bringing up the same topic over and over again, then I think you are wrong.

Do you REALLY want us to start a new topic for every single aside?
Seriously???

No, I want you to exercise some restraint and not do a kneejerk repetition of the same argument in every thread. Yes, I know you only have a hammer. Yes, I know you see every problem as a nail. But spare us the sound of the pounding -- it isn't accomplishing anything.

But it IS an integral part of this particular topic. I can't understand why you refuse to see that.

Really??? I've never seen it happen, and who have we made leave?

Wow. Just wow.
How did you get to be a moderator?

Just because it states it, doesn't mean that the actual song from SC is unlicensed, just that they (those listed) are distributing unlicensed versions - possible copies from what a few have stated they received from those very vendors. Harrington has stated every song listed was/is licensed, so don't jump to conclusions. Just don't bring it into EVERY thread is what is being stated!


I actually didn't say that. I haven't reviewed the licensing paperwork, for a few reasons: (1) there are tens of thousands of documents to go through, (2) my office is actually about an hour away from SC's office, (3) I don't really have time to do it, and (4) I'm not strongly motivated to do it, since SC hasn't been named in the suit and is unlikely to be, for reasons I can't get into at the moment.

I did (and can) say, with respect to everything on the GEM series, the Foundations, and the Bricks, without examining the licenses, that all of that material is fully licensed for distribution in the U.S. when distributed in that format. Beyond that material--which is roughly 12,000 other tracks--I can't say without looking at the licenses.
