[ Closed ] Message From Future (Page 5 of 7)

I will gladly pay a monthly subscription in order to be able to listen to the stream with shows like Astrounicorn, Rude66's, Gabbo's, etc. A station that plays my own favorites along with great new underground shit and obscurities I will never hear anywhere else. The other "services" aren't even necessary. Shit, a mandatory 5 or 10 euro monthly fee to tune in to the CBS is fine with me.
However, how many former robots will march out of here in anger out of principle? That would be a shame too.

I am reminded of the original Detroit Electronic Music Fest. It was free, quality was good, and it made a substantial loss. Of course they had to charge people the next time. Yet many people boycotted it claiming this went against the spirit of the whole thing. The comparison ends there though.

Whenever the new project is in place, sign me up.

well, the world doesnt run on water, you hippies...

i'm still glad just to hear something is coming up, whenever, whatever, i'm there. the cause is worth a few euros per month...

this is my carecup etc etc

Seems alot of ppl are worrying about their "investment" and how many freebees they will have for "the price" ..
Sounds like a pity to me .. The collateral damages of the "everything free thru the www"...
In our field of passion I think it should be natural to support some efforts/initiatives without thinkin of how much it will give back to us ... imho...
Anyway ...

xdjx : mindless money machine (i forgive you for the term.)

Only my mom have "feed" me.
I've known lot of people in my life that helped me to discover new music and you're one, but hey, just one of a great amount of people...
I'm thankful to everyone of them, but none have asked me to pay money to share knowdlege but you, so for me you can take your "new thing" and eat it with potatoes.

What an odd way of thinking about it.

What do you think XDJX is some sort of rich playboy, who can just go and buy all the hardware, servers, streamers etc to make the CBS work? And then make people pay so he can add to his piles of cash?

The CBS cost money to run and required donations (voluntary donations) to exist.

I have never thought of it as a business, but more of a club. You join the club, you pays your subscription and together you have enough money to do things that you couldn't do otherwise.

This thread makes me think about experiences at Glastonbury, when I would sometimes get looked down upon by fucking crusties because I'd paid for a ticket. They thought I wasn't keeping it real. I knew it was only because people like me bought a ticket that the thing could happen in the first place.

If you don't want to pay fir TNT then don't pay, nobody is forcing you. But don't act like it is unfair not to get the same benefits as people that do pay.

btw XDJX apologies if you ARE a rich playboy.
