It is a huge disservice that we don't now have a forum for sharing our BIAB creations. It would be a great place to discuss ideas and techniques, a great learning tool.




I thought that's what THIS forum was for... discussing ideas and techniques...
and it isn't illegal to share your own creations... people share their BIAB creations here every day, legally. It's just illegal to share the creations of other people who paid money for the legal ownership and sole right to distribute what they paid for.

regarding the phrase "it is a huge disservice"
To me, a disservice occurs when somebody else fails to do what they were SUPPOSED to do. If I fly to one airport but my luggage goes to a different airport, that's a disservice because I paid them to provide a service, and they messed it up. But if my neighbor fails to mow my lawn, that isn't a disservice, because taking care of MY life is MY responsibility, not his.

Calling something a disservice implies that it is somebody else's responsibility to provide a service that would make your life more pleasant, and the fact that such service has not been provided in a timely manner is a source of disappointment and irritation.

One of the cool things about the web is that it levels the playing field and empowers us all to set up whatever kind of media content we want. If it seems unacceptable to you that a BIAB music sharing site does not already exist, all the tools exist for you to create one. There is no reason to do without that which is in your own power to create.

By no means am I trying to pick a fight, Ed. I appreciate what you are saying and I greatly respect the contributions you make to this forum and to the world of music in general. My intent here is simply to offer a counterpoint to what you said, and point out that it comes across in a way that I don't think you intended.

You are clearly a self-actualized guy who takes care of business, like most of the people on this forum. I'm just trying to steer the terminology away from phrases and ideology used in entitlement mentality, because it has become so prevalent in our society that it will creep in under the door and take over if we don't relentlessly identify it and replace it with thinking that encourages us to provide our own solutions rather than expecting solutions from others..
