This is a mesage to all members - to inform you of a recent copyright issue.

We were notified earlier this week by the lawyers of King Crimson that we are no longer allowed to provide access to King Crimson videos and MP3s on the site. This has nothing to do with ProgArchives specifically, other publishers have received similar requests - it is a copyright issue.

In order to comply, M@X has removed all King Crimson audio/video material from the site. We urge you to not post any new King Crimson videos on the site, while the admin team will no longer publish King Crimson MP3s.

Thanks on behalf of the whole site team!

I wondered why the MP3 was suddenly gone! Wow, that's kinda disappointing. I was going to write down the songs in the MP3 list for a friend of mine who recently listened to one of the songs in the MP3 list.

No surprise at all given Robert's well established views on copyright and the whole new 'digital' music industry, on which he is a player with DGMLIve.com...

so... no streaming? that seems extremely excessive. does this mean they will be pulled off internet radio sites like last fm? its the same basic idea. bands should embrace this new digital age (radiohead amongst others) and use it to their advantage instead of struggling against the current the whole way. just for this, im going to a torrent site and downloading their discography. take that robert. actually its funny. my little 'petition' will have about as much affect on KC as their little 'petition' will have on downloading and filesharing, not that streaming mp3's is either. sigh.
What im listening to

Fripp needs new lawyers...  they don't need to be coming after sites like this.... but...ahem... others. This isn't the site costing them money.

Heh.

My cousin wanted to get a better picture of the breadth of KC's sound, so I directed him to Progarchives' KC entry for the music.

No problem though, Mr Fripp isn't special, there's more than enough other great music out there to last my cousin a lifetime.

No kidding.  Wonder if it was actually just lawyers being overzealous (probably wouldn't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to prog anyway), or is Fripp really standing by this.  If the latter...hey, this site was basically doing free marketing for you...if you don't want it, that's your call - guess a few disgruntled fans ain't hurting your bottom line...

it is strange indeed; I also think KC will lose some publicity this way only. as if the few songs that could be heard on this site would really itch his ass

It's progressive in terms of not doing what everyone wants you to do - perfect Frippness! =P

we shouldOuchWink
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I would at least reply to that message and explain the situation; maybe not all is lost yet

I simply think that artists have the right to decide which websites host their content ... making it available without asking them first always bears the risk of legal consequences. And often it's not the artists themselves but their management and/or record companies who decide to take legal action.

of course they do; I don't deny them that right. I just think it is shortsighted. ah well; Mr. Fripp is known to wear glasses LOL

^ Well, with the advent of websites like last.fm, myspace.com and youtube.com the situation has changed a lot compared to two years ago. For every major band - and most recent small/obscure bands - you can access high quality samples, there's no need for the archives to provide them. Of course I know why they're still here - to attract visitors and boost ad revenue.Evil%20Smile
