So if you’re a composer, a filmmaker, a podcaster, a writer, you name it, please join! As far as I know this is the first community which is so broadly oriented and Creative Commons based. Sure, I love to talk with other composers and remixers about music, but wouldn’t it also be nice to communicate directly with the new generation of filmmakers for example?

Thanks for the clarification. It all depends on the listener's openmindedness (or lack thereof) I guess. Ah, in that case I agree. Thanks for the clarification.

This focused mentality doesn't do much to broaden your musical horizon and it's great to see projects like IMP and websites like <a>MOG</a> trying to do exactly that.

Through filesharing, I have discovered many groups that I normally would not have. Think about it...let's say I'm recommended an artist that I've never heard of and there isn't a whole lot of information/reviews about them. Even though I was recommended them, it's unlikely that I'd purchase an album of theirs blindly. With filesharing, I can download some of their music and decide whether I like it or not. If I do like it, I'll make an effort either to order a CD of their's, or go to a show if they come near, or maybe both.

Efforts like these fly in the face of both the recording industry’s lockdown on copying and the free-for-all digital filesharing services, neither of which, let’s face it, does much for broadening your musical horizons.

Seemed pretty cool as he got some interesting mixes including those completely of music in non-english languages, certain genres he hadn't listened much to before, and others. Also, it's a good feeling to send out a mix full of your favorite lesser known, maybe local, artists. My brother at least used to participate in this, I don’t think he is anymore.
