does anyone like country music

I do!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, so who is your favorite artist?

I've personally seen US Marshalls walk into an establishment and remove all the cash from their cash registers,for copyright violations to ASCAP,BMI,and SESAC.
So lets not make the US Marshalls fly to Chechalsavakia(sp?) and empty Fencers drawers ;)
So I guess.....lets try to keep our personal favorites to ourselves,and try to keep conversations about music,songs,and artists....rather than displaying the entire song.

I respect your opinion, anI agree tha the lyrics should not be posted, so I won't.How are you?

hi footballgirl,and welcome:)
if I were any better,there'd be a law against it....and hopefully not a copyright law!! LOL:)

I guess that means no more barney songs :o((( LOL

you're sad about the barney songs too? I thought I was the only one! LOL:) Bwild; there'd be a law against what?

I get what you said now, sorry, I'm really slow!

not sure I agree with that,SF
lets say you invented a game,copyrighted it....but everyone used your invention and gave you no royalties.To me...thats a copywrong.
But I do,however,acknowledge the fact that you have a right to your own opinion,and can voice that opinion.If you couldnt voice your opinion...then I would agree with you on keeping the people quiet.:)

How about what I've been doing...giving a link to a song...frankly I do it that way cause I'm too lazy to copy long songs down..

Cole...I personally dont see a problem with that...the link takes you straight to a lyrics site.Performance fee's would be their problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Alan Jackson, Vince Gill and garth Brooks are my favs. :o)

I can't see a problem either!! If anything we are promoting the artist's work.

My fave male performer is Jim Reeves! His voice is(was) so strong! Garth Brooks was a performance genius. He had all the right elements to create a strong following and make megabucks!
But that's the thing...Some are performers while others do it for the love of music. I suppose some are both...
Patsy Cline had the most awesome female voice that I've heard. She's in a class of her own (IMO) Of course Martina McBride can hold her own against any current female performer!!
Yes,my taste leads me to country music,athough I appreciate almost all genres. Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 makes me sit up and take notice when he sings! Also,Avril Lavigne,Paul McCartney,Eric Clapton,Sheryl Crow.....etc!
My fave bands are The Eagles,Fleetwood Mac,The Beatles,Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones!
Hoobastank is my current fave!!

Any ideas about SYSTEM OF A DOWN?

The Cowboy Junkies

News Story

Michael Jackson is about to become a father to four more children (quadruplets) through a surrogate mother.

Yes Scarlet...that's a favorite with the kids. Another good song that caputures their imaginations is "Marvelous Toy" by Peter,Paul,and Mary. And Puff is an all time fav.

What about just posting a link to the lyrics? And I think that if there is a particular phrase that one posts, with a link to the artist's site, is appropriate?

Not sure on this just wondering. ;)

Michael Jackson......hmmmmmm

It's like writing a book. You are allowed to make limited quotes of anything you'd like, as long as you give a clear reference.

and links like those Cole does..go straight to lyrics sites.

Copyrighted material in the form of songs lyrics unfortunately does not fall under the fair use clause of the copyright laws, and the posting of such, places us at risk of lawsuits for infingement of copyright.

When Copying Is Okay: The "Fair Use" Rule

LOL:) seems to me...we're all critics:) but to be on the safe side...lets not paste entire songs.

I listen to SYSTEM OF A DOWN's songs. Do you like them?

Gooner, you have great taste in music. My favorie artists are Clay Walker, Shania Twain, and Garth Brooks.

This entire site uses links for everything....checks out the window for unmarked cars...so until someone from the FBI...checks phone line for taps....
or the CIA....looks under futon...comes knocking on anyones door....looks suspiciously at sleeping cat...I say we cont. to post the way we have been doing...puts on dark glasses to take out (shredded) printouts from Music Board...

links are fine Cole:)
*nice glasses!* ;)

....are going to be on the Jay Leno show Wednesday, 7/21. And also the Jimmy Kimmel Live show Monday, 7/26.

Their new album 'Horse of a Different Color', which includes their hit Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), is a must have feel good addition to anyones music colection.

I liken the pairing of Big Kenny and John Rich as the same luck the music world enjoyed when Crosby, Stills, and Nash sang their first song together in Mama Cass' home, and someone told them...'You all should really sing together.'

when did Neil Young join them? wasnt it Crosby,Stills,Nash,and Young at Woodstock?

I believe it was '68 or '69...THIS is pretty good reading.

no court of law would convcit anyone here for posting lyrics to songs, it just wont happen

You seem to be suggesting that the law doens't exist. It doesn't matter. Fencer has requested that entire songs not be pasted here.

That should probably end the debate.

It could be a problem for Fencer and BK. Could.

I doubt it, what about yahoo public boards etc. Lets get yahoo in trouble by posting lyrics and then reporting them.
Not likely

its all bumbles fault,SF.....take it up with him.LOL:)

I think the larger point is the request of the owner of the site. I'm a little sympathetic to the copyright of lyrics because I'm a musician for one and several musician friends are song writers. For the past few years I played "gigs" with a friend who has two CD's of original material out. He's invested a ton of $$ and time into everything so I can understand the concern from their pov as well.

Now to make it really interesting, we could discuss the moral and ethical implications of CD burning. ;)
