T-Mobile Advert

T-Mobile advert music, the one with the moving houses?

Haha presumably you've just been watching the simpsons on channel 4? I saw that during the adverts and just registered to find out! Sorry I don't know but I wanna! T-mobile always use sick music for their adverts.

Too true, apparently the tune is: ARTHUR RUSSELL - THIS IS HOW WE WALK ON THE MOON, can't find that anywhere on Limewire though.

Its on limewire- just got it

[awheewall]

So it is, many thanks for that, I must have spelt it wrong or something the first time round.

Or instead of thieving you could download it legally here and ensure Arthur Russel's estate get their royalties

Firstly I take offence to the fact that you assume I and hedge are "thieving", perhaps we are downloading from Limewire in order to check the full tune out, before buying it. Either way as the guy has been dead now for some years, I would have thought his "estate" has grown fat enough from his talent. Unlike the US, here in the UK we don't have the same never ending copyright laws that allow an "estate" to go on forever owning IP. And that my friend is ultimately a good thing.

Absolutely no problem with try before you buy (though most sites give free 30 second preview) , and agree that record labels are generally the biggest rip off (DRM anybody???) merchants off all, but , but I know so many people who say to me "Why pay for it , I can get it free off limewire" or some other P2P, and these are people with well paid jobs in positions of responsibilty !!!!.

My point is , if you were to walk out of HMV with a CD without paying for it , I don't think they'd believe the try before you buy argument.

Anyway I've had my rant , and believe if music were priced sensibly without DRM then a lot more people would have no bother paying for it. (80p per track on itunes with DRM , 15p per track on Emusic without DRM which is the one I use ) or I buy the CD and rip it which is now Bill Gates / Steve Jobs recommendation!!!

Surprisingly I couldn't agree with you more. When I saw that you'd reply (and I knew you would) I wasn't looking forward to getting into a word fight. Last nights last comment was hasty. Anyway, what you said was totally correct. DRM is ultimately helping music piracy to prosper and giving the customer a bad deal. After all as we all know, if you own the CD you can do many things with it, including making your own back up copies. With DRM you are stuffed and will probably end up losing the music that you've paid hard earned money for. Anyway thanks for the reply. BTW I do think that DRM should be used to enable full copies to be previewed before you buy, but then removed from the copy you buy.

Aye , agree with you . Glad we're still frenz. My comment was half flippant / half serious.

It scares when I see some kid being prosecuted by the Music Business Fascists , when they've been brought up to think it's OK.

BTW heres an old post on Ciao which list some of my gripes
