File Sharing? Priceless:the new protest track from Sly and Reggie


Recommended Posts

iTunes give a 25 second snapshot of every track before you buy! Film producers release trailers! These are not quite in your price bracket yet they give a guarantee that at least "some" content exists.


I have the million to spend no problem whatsoever - but I'm afraid I won't like the track.... so what are you going to do about it?

When you buy the track for a million pounds you are buying into the ideas behind the campaign.

You will know that you have in your possession a unique copy of a piece of music.

Which you can share or keep to yourself.

I can buy into the ideas behind the campaign for free I think you will find! Not that I do ... but that is free if I chose to.

By the way I have just sung into my phone and recorded it - was just a little ditty I made up on the spot and no one heard me. Let's make it a straight swap? I bet mine is better than yours.


Actually sod this ..... I KNOW mine is better than yours! Keep ya chuffing Whalenoise v Lady Sov mashup.

Inadvertently, I think reggie has stumble onto an important point.


When file sharing first began to manifest itself, the record companies responded with their own, legal, downloading offerings. At the time, you could pick up most CDs for about 9 quid or less if you shopped around. So what did the record companies do? Crippled the songs with DRM and offered them at about 12 or 13 pounds an album. Lesser product, higher price. This especially annoyed the consumer as they realised that the businesses had lower costs - no pressing, no album covers, no transport, no distribution.


So reggie's ?1M download is an obvious extension of this - offering something at a price far inflated from actual worth, in a vain bid at maintaining control. Marvellous piece of satire. Did you mean it?

If you want to add 'marvellous piece of satire' to the concept of file sharing protest song and increase its value I am more than happy.

Maybe it's looking a bit cheap now and should be ?2,000,000.

The track 'Priceless' by Sly and Reggie that you can buy will in fact not be a copy but a unique file.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
